A solution for a low-starch and high-NDF ruminant diet

29 Mar 2023

Effective rumen fermentation is the key to optimizing feed efficiency. The basic first steps to optimizing rumen efficiency are properly calculating a balanced diet, optimizing feeding management, and preventing acidosis. With these measures taken, ideal rumen efficiency is often still not achieved. The question remains, how can we use natural additives to optimize rumen fermentation and guide microbes to a more favorable rumen output?

Utilizing excess rumen fermentable protein

29 Mar 2023

The efficient use of nitrogen is a hot topic within the dairy industry. Ruminants are unique in the sense that they can use low-quality feed sources to provide the high-quality protein products of dairy and beef. The dairy industry is regularly using protein sources that cannot be used for human consumption to produce high-value protein for human nutrition.

Heat stress in poultry: overcoming biological and genetic hurdles

20 Jul 2022

Feathered species have a naturally insulated body and do not have the biological ability to sweat. On top of this reality, the genetic evolution towards higher performance has increased the birds’ metabolic rate, leading to a higher intrinsic heat production inside the body. Combined with the increased occurrence of hotter-than-average weather days, it goes without saying that adequately dealing with heat stress-induced performance loss is becoming a critical success factor in poultry rearing.

Heatstress in swine: Providing specific attention to lactating sows

13 Jul 2022

Pigs, as with most mammals, are not able to efficiently cool themselves down. Particularly, lactating sows in farrowing houses, designed to keep young piglets warm, can struggle to manage their body temperature. This means that heat stress can occur in sows sooner, and more severely, with a negative impact on the well-being and performance of both the sows and their piglets.

10 things you can do to help your flock avoid heat stress

28 Jun 2022

Spotting the first signs of heat stress in the flock is the first step to responding to it. Depending on the region, temperature and humidity can vary greatly, making it hard to know when (or for how long) heat stress strategies should be applied.

Smart usage of data supports your business

05 Nov 2021

Digitalization proceeds quickly today, this is especially true during the current situation where a lot more information needs to be distributed digitally instead of analog or in person. This is also true for the agricultural sector, as digitalization and professionalism increase in every part of the branch and every segment. Collecting, managing, and evaluating data is a key factor to improve results and create a more objective interaction between supplier and client and, if used properly, can lead to an improvement of kpi's due to better understanding of what happens and a more exact opportunity to advice and proceed on the given goals

Strategies to handle heat stress in poultry

27 Jul 2021

Given the poultry industry’s development over the past two decades and the need for more animal protein sources in the hot regions of the world, it is generally agreed that these areas are going to witness further expansion. After all, poultry meat and eggs are among the highest quality foods for humans.

Heat Stress in Ruminants: Lactation and fertility under pressure

27 Jul 2021

Ruminants experience heat stress when the ambient temperature approaches the animal’s body temperature and relative humidity rises. In practice, heat stress in dairy cows can occur when the temperature rises above 20°C.

Managerial interventions to beat the heat

07 May 2021

With the summer ahead, the yearly returning challenge of heat stress is nearby. Warmer temperatures bring inconveniences to farm animals as they need to lose excessive heat in one or another way. Global warming will lead to an increased average temperature with more and longer heat waves. This phenomenon threatens to impact the pig industry severely, hence giving us extra reasons to focus on this problem. Luckily there are different nutritional and management measures one can take to cope with heat stress. In this article we will deep dive into effective managerial measures for advisors and farm managers.
