Fiber digestion kinetics: How fibrolytic dynamics are integrated into diet formulation software?

lallemand animal nutrition meet the expert webinar fiber digestion

Speakers: Dr. Frederique Chaucheyras-Durand, Research Manager, Lallemand Animal Nutrition – INRAe and Dr. Emiliano Raffrenato, Consultant at RUM&N – NDS Professional and Assistant Professor, University of Padova

Key points:

  • Rumen microbes produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are converted into energy by the animal. Optimizing the rumen microbial populations, or microbiota, can help increase diet digestion and forage utilization, allowing the animal to increase milk or meat conversion and production efficiency.
  • Testing and analysis can help determine forage and concentrate ration components. Nutrient needs and digestion kinetics can then be modeled in dynamic and advanced nutritional software, like NDS. Nutritionists can balance the animal’s ration to maximize nutrient utilization for optimal performance.
  • The rumen-specific live yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 (LEVUCELL SC) has been proven to positively influence the digestion kinetics of fiber components in the ration that can be modelized and predicted into formulation software such as NDS.

Support transition cow digestion to improve performance

The transition period in dairy cows spans from dry-off through the postpartum and fresh phases. It represents a critical time for the cow with major dietary, metabolic, and physiological changes. Feed management is crucial as the transition from a high-fiber diet to a diet high in rapidly fermentable carbohydrates can be a challenge for rumen […]

Plan ahead to formulate consistent winter rations

Measure forage quality and quantity “Measuring silage clamps and assessing the quantity of forages available is equally important,” says Mr McFarland. He says if you are aware of this, you can plan ahead to ensure rations are balanced to meet cows’ needs. “If you start planning for winter as early as possible, it should help […]

Expert interview: Non-dietary factors to consider when precision feeding

Why is there so much variation in milk yield among farms? Feeding dairy cows is different than feeding monogastric animals. For starters, feeding a forage-based diet is already a challenge on its own, as the quality and nutritional values of forages can change over weeks and months. And with full grazing systems, you never know […]
