Nutritional solutions from research against heat stress

Nutrition: targeted supplementation for the summer period In this second article dedicated to heat stress, we will analyze the development of the product NDF 150 Summer. NDF 150 SUMMER Complementary feed for dairy cows Why use it against heat stress in dairy cows? F.P.A.O.: Aspergillus

Nutritional management during the summer period

The proven effectiveness of betaine and PFAO (Aspergillus oryzae fermentation product) for proper nutritional management In this first article dedicated to heat stress, we will analyze the development of NDF 100, which, in its summer formulation with a significant addition of betaine, is marketed as

Calf intestinal microbiome and microbiota

A synergistic effect for gastrointestinal system well-being Despite preventive measures, enteric infections in neonatal calves remain one of the leading causes of calf mortality. With new regulations limiting the prophylactic use of antimicrobials, there is an urgent need for alternative approaches to minimize the incidence

Fresh cow nutrition

Performance improves when the diet is rich in metabolizable protein and balanced in terms of amino acids After calving, cows must rapidly increase dry matter intake to meet nutrient requirements and support the rise in milk production. During the first weeks of lactation, intake is

Oxidative stress and the resulting inflammatory cascade

A combination that should not be underestimated and must be properly managed Editorial published in Ex-Dairy Press, 2023 Oxidative processes are fundamental to life. However, organisms with high metabolic activity—such as high-producing dairy cows—are exposed to a risk of oxidative stress, particularly during specific physiological

Hypocalcemia at calving in dairy cows

Physiological if mild and transient At calving, the large and sudden demand for calcium associated with the expulsive phase, together with the marked calcium outflow due to colostrum production, leads—even under optimal conditions—to a normal reduction in blood calcium levels in the cow. This condition
