Finer grinding doesn’t help efficiency for all feeds

While studies have shown that grinding corn finer offers a higher feed efficiency for pigs, that isn't necessarily the case with other feed ingredients. Joel DeRouchey, an animal science specialist from Kansas State University Research and Extension, talked about feed efficiencies on June 5 at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa.

Animal Nutrition

How to deal with feed ingredient variability

The goal of feed formulation is to meet the nutritional needs of the target animal in the most profitable manner possible. This takes into account not only performance, but also optimization of efficiency and in some locations includes environmental nutrient management.

Novus Mintrex trace minerals may improve dairy cow immune response

A recent University of Delaware study of early lactation dairy cows revealed improved immune response when treated with Novus International Inc.'s Mintrex chelated trace minerals. Cows fed Mintrex were able to generate an elevated antibody response to a pathogen, which better enabled them to fight infection, according to the study, which was published in the August edition of Journal of Dairy Science.
