The high cost of metabolic diseases in dairy cattle

Metabolic disorders are extremely costly to dairy farmers and the overall cost is certainly greater than the direct loss of income from reduced milk production. Most metabolic disorders are not "stand-alone" – the occurrence of one tends to increase the risk of another. Nutrition is probably the most influential and most often considered when looking at management practices to address metabolic issues, but cow comfort and hygiene are also crucial.

Stop wasting vitamins, trace minerals in animal feeds

Vitamins and trace minerals are routinely added in almost every commercial feed for all animal species, making their manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales a global industry worth billions.
