The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial on
performance of mid-lactating Holstein dairy cows and on their milk fatty acid composition. Six …

Inclusion of plants rich in secondary metabolites into grass ensiling offers multiple benefits
for ruminants, from improving productive performance to health‐promoting effects as well as …

The primary focus of low CP diets and the inclusion of legume silages for dairy cows is to
decrease feed costs and mitigate the environmental impact of milk production. This …

Reducing the dietary crude protein (CP) concentration can decrease the financial cost and
lower the environmental impact of milk production. Two studies were conducted to examine …

Alfalfa has a lower fiber digestibility and a greater concentration of degradable protein than
grasses. Dairy cows could benefit from an increased digestibility of alfalfa fibers, or from a …

The increasing cost of milk production, in association with tighter manure N application
regulations and challenges associated with ammonia emissions in many countries, has …

The ruminant requirements for essential fatty acids (EFAs), particularly linoleic acid (LA) and
alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), have not been fully determined, although evidence suggests that …

Simple Summary Milk is considered a staple and complete food that contains several
essential nutrients for humans. For instance, it is an excellent natural source of vitamin B12 …

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of calcium salts of fatty acids (CSFA) from soybean
oil in diets with different levels of rumen degradable protein (RDP) on bio‐hydrogenation …

Nitrogen pollution is an important issue in modern agriculture. For the dairy industry,
increasing the efficiency of milk protein production may reduce the environmental impact of …
