Optimizing feed efficiency on dairy operations is critical for maximizing productivity and profitability. However, managing the diverse nutritional needs across different groups of cows can be incredibly challenging. Considering that, a proper feeding management system must be able to identify insufficient feed quantities, inadequate feed compositions, and infrequent feed pushing. To achieve that, the power of an intelligent health system that also includes unique rumination measurement, a practical feeding tool with feeding groups (and more), allows dairy operations to truly optimize feed efficiency across the herd, driving productivity upwards while keeping costs in check. Adopting this technology is a game-changer for taking feed management to the next level. Visit our smaXtec website to learn more:

In a recent investigation, autolyzed Saccharomyces cerevisiae was evaluated for its capability to reduce microbial contamination on the carcasses of feedlot-finished steers.

The study's results indicated notable decreases in E. coli and total coliforms within f***l samples, as well as mesophilic aerobes on the carcasses of the subjects in the treated group. Notably, no traces of Salmonella spp. were detected in the collected samples.

The use of autolyzed S. cerevisiae obtained from the sugar cane fermentation effectively reduced the f***l excretion of pathogenic microorganisms, thus promoting improvements in environmental sanitary conditions.

Fluid bed technology stands as a beacon in modern livestock nutrition, specifically designed to address the unique nutrient requirements of high-yielding dairy cows. Using this innovative approach, nutrients are microencapsulated, ensuring they're protected from rumen microbes and can be effectively delivered to the small intestine.

After calving, dairy cows' glucose demand surges, primarily for lactose production, a crucial component of milk. When unprotected, much of this glucose is metabolized in the rumen, causing potential deficits. However, with the use of microencapsulated glucose, cows receive the necessary amounts, which not only supports lactation but also wards off health issues like fatty liver syndrome or ketosis.

Fluid bed technology marks a significant stride in promoting the best health and productivity for dairy cows.

Hypocalcemia, characterized by low blood calcium levels, is a critical health issue in dairy cattle, particularly during the periparturient period surrounding calving. This period experiences a spike in calcium demand as lactation begins, making dairy cows susceptible to calcium deficiency. Symptoms range from reduced feed intake and lethargy to more severe cases of muscle weakness known as "milk fever."

Preventing hypocalcemia involves a keen understanding of the relationship between dietary phosphorus and calcium, which must be tightly regulated to ensure proper mineral balance. The homeostasis of these minerals is controlled by hormones, such as parathyroid hormone and FGF23 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 23), which manage the absorption and mobilization of these minerals.

Emerging research indicates that moderating dietary phosphorus can help maintain calcium levels, as excessive phosphorus can disrupt calcium regulation. During the critical pre-calving phase, strategic dietary adjustments to control phosphorus intake can effect the production of FGF23, thus promoting calcium mobilization from bones and improving blood calcium status.

This intricate interplay between dietary phosphorus and calcium is, therefore, pivotal in preventing hypocalcemia, influencing modern dietary strategies in dairy nutrition to foster healthier herds and enhance farm productivity.

A recent study evaluated the effect of autolyzed yeast supplementation on leukocyte oxidative metabolism and the occurrence of pneumonia in feedlot steers. The study aimed to assess whether autolyzed yeast influences blood phagocyte efficiency and reduces inflammation and bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in these animals.

Findings from the trial demonstrated that yeast supplementation improved leukocyte oxidative metabolism in treated groups, resulting in a lower frequency of mucopurulent nasal secretion, reduced pneumonia occurrence, and less severe lung lesions compared to the control group.

Supplementation with autolyzed yeast obtained from the sugar cane fermentation enhances blood phagocytic function, decreases inflammation, and prevents disease, especially in intensive production systems improving the health of animals.

Recent research explores the intriguing effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae byproducts on milk phagocyte function and milk production in mid-lactation cows, shedding light on their potential benefits in dairy cattle management. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a yeast known for its immune-boosting and productivity-enhancing properties, has gained attention as a supplement option for ruminants. However, the study of its effectiveness in dairy cattle, particularly regarding its impact on milk phagocyte function, has been limited. The investigation focused on healthy Holstein cows in the third to fifth months of lactation with somatic cell counts (SCC) below 200,000 cells/mL.

The study revealed two distinct presentations of autolyzed S. cerevisiae: one rich in cell wall components (WC) and the other containing cytoplasm-rich extracts (CYT). Cows supplemented with the WC byproduct demonstrated enhanced innate immunity, reduced SCC, and improved mammary gland health. On the other hand, the CYT group exhibited a notable increase in milk production, both in volume and components like fat, while promoting an intermediate boost in the immune response of the mammary gland compared to the WC group.

These findings underscore the potential of S. cerevisiae byproducts as a valuable tool in dairy cattle management, offering both immunity-boosting and productivity-enhancing benefits, albeit with different emphases depending on the specific byproduct used. As such, the study contributes with valuable insights for optimizing dairy cattle nutrition and health strategies in mid-lactation cows, benefiting both the animals and dairy production outcomes.
