Application of yeast technology in ruminant nutrition
This research aimed to evaluate two types of yeast technology applications that are commercially available to feed in the diets of beef cattle; these two applications are dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS) and yeast culture (YC). First, DDGS were offered as a protein and energy …

Life cycle environmental impacts of utilizing hemp seed meal as a protein source in sheep feedlot rations
… Animal performance data were collected from a nutrition trial. Hemp production, harvest, and processing data were provided by a hemp product company. Economic and physical allocation were applied to the hemp diet systems, and the ReCiPe Midpoint (H) methodology was used to calculate the global …

Alternative Analytical and Experimental Procedures to Explore Rumen Fermentation as Driven by Nutrient Supplies
Ruminant livestock play a vital role in fulfilling the nutrient requirements of humans by providing protein, energy, and essential microminerals. With the increasing demand for meat and dairy products, the ruminant industry must continue to improve the productivity and efficiency of ruminant …

Effects of dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) and Na:K on dairy cows in early lactation, and the interaction of particle size reduction via mastication and rumination with digestion and passage in cattle
Cattle spend many hours per day chewing, either eating or ruminating. Comminution of feed and digesta particles affects the kinetics of digestion and passage, and can also affect voluntary feed intake. These, in turn, determine nutrient availability and productive efficiency. Our objective was to …

USING THE PLASMA FREE AMINO ACID DOSE RESPONSE METHOD TO DETERMINE METABOLIZABLE PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS OF LYSINE AND METHIONINE IN RUMEN PROTECTED SUPPLEMENTS
<p>Balancing diets for lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) in dairy rations is becoming a regular practice in today’s industry. In order to be able to use rumen-protected AA (RPAA) in those diets a method to assess the efficacy and bioavailability needs to be proposed. The objective of the following …

The effect of feeding frequency and alternative proteins in milk replacer on growing Holstein calves
… standard for calves, because the lack of anti-nutritional factors and high digestibility that allows for growth rate similar to that of a calf consuming its mother’s milk. Milk replacers containing whey protein, although more cost-effective than whole milk, still represent a substantial cost …
