Facing continued pressure to reduce antibiotic use, particularly for performance purposes, some livestock producers around the world are turning toward phytogenic feed additives.

Ruminants are thought to be more tolerant of mycotoxins than many other species. However, it can be risky to estimate how much mycotoxin exposure a herd can withstand without extensive testing.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) can benefit reproductive efficiency in cows, calf health, and also marbling and carcass quality in feeder cattle.

While cattle may be comfortable eating a rich diet once a day, their rumen microbes thrive on a different schedule.

Mid-May has come and gone, yet we have seen little that would tell us that it’s spring.

Historically, nutritionists have supplemented dairy cattle rations with inorganic salts consisting of metals bound via ionic bonds to sulfates or oxides.

Faster growth and younger breeding can pay off for dairies.

Lameness and the prevention of it have become increasingly more important to the cattle feeding industry in the last couple years, with approximately 16% of all cattle health issues lameness related.

Genetic selection can improve health and performance, but without proper cow nutrition and management during gestation, the calf’s potential could be limited.
