Introduction to CNCPS v7 to more cost effectively AA Balance

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 09:36:37 GMT

Soon – perhaps before the end of 2023 – we will see the release of CNCPS version 7. This much anticipated update will include many enhancements which should enable dairy producers and their nutritionists to formulate better diets that will improve dairy productivity and profitability. This webinar will discuss CNCPS and the update to version 7 with Dr. Mike Van Amburgh and Dr. Andrew LaPierre from Cornell University. They both have been actively working to complete this project, and together they have a great understanding of both the long-term “big picture” as well as the in-depth understanding of the fine details of the model. In this webinar they will share their insights and perspectives on the changes to the CNCPS model, the potential impact these updates will have, and some thoughts on CNCPS moving forward.

Advantages on involuntary culling and herd structure dynamics

Fri, 25 Aug 2023 08:56:15 GMT

The objective of this webinar is to create awareness of how different events that happen throughout the lactation cycle impact the herd’s make-up and affect the overall economics of the dairy. Estimating the long-term effects of non-contemporary events is not an easy task considering all the moving parts happening daily at any given dairy. This is why Dr. Cabrera has developed multiple tools to link events and, via detailed calculations, determine the short- and long-term consequences, from the milk production and herd make-up to ultimately estimate the economics of implementing different management practices or using different nutritional approaches.

In this webinar, Dr. Cabrera explains how some of the simulation models were created. Then we introduce a tool developed by our technical team with Dr. Cabrera to help the end user visualize the full economic impact, taking into consideration changes in dry matter intake, milk volume and composition, health and reproduction when implementing strategies to feed diets that are amino acid balanced.

Strategic use of methionine to impact reproduction of the dairy cow

Wed, 17 May 2023 11:58:50 GMT

This webinar links nutrition with dairy health and reproduction. Health, particularly after calving, impacts reproductive outcomes two-to-four months later. Poor health and reproductive performance can each lead to undesirable cullings.

The challenge is to connect these two maladies. They don’t occur at the same time, so few people make the connection between them. During the webinar, the speakers give clear explanations of how the nutrition after calving is connected to reproductive problems and higher culling rates, and provide examples of how nutrition, specifically the essential nutrient methionine, helps cows overcome these stresses.

History of AA balancing and solutions for improved milk and components

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 09:02:49 GMT

This webinar will give you an appreciation for the history of the science behind amino acid (AA) balancing, the amino acids of most importance, and what improvements to expect in milk yield, fat yield and protein yield when effectively achieving target levels of lysine and methionine.
Dr. Chuck Schwab’s Ph.D. work was the catalyst for the development of AA balancing as we know it today. The first milestone to the practical implementation of AA balancing was the publication of the integrated INRA AA formulation system in 1993.
Initially AA balancing was only thought to have an effect on milk protein. Today a recent summation of 25 production trials in which rations were AA balanced using Adisseo rumen protection technologies shows clearly that AA balancing affects positively milk fat synthesis as well as milk protein.
The trial results show an increase of 1.7 kg/day in energy corrected milk (ECM), +60 g/day in milk protein and +80 g/day in milk fat, corresponding to average increases of +0.13% and +0.16% in protein and fat content respectively. Trial results have been replicated in commercial dairy farms, but formulation practices will determine how successful the results of AA balancing will be.

Advancia_DPP2022#7_low protein diet and nitrogen

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 10:15:16 GMT

Is there more than nitrogen in low-protein diets?

In swine industry, the focus is on growing-finishing pigs for the meat production but two phases are very important to consider: the sow from pregnancy to lactation and the piglets which will have to face a drastic change of feed presentation from milk to solid feed and like kids the mixing with others and the separation from the mother.

Low protein diet are important to be considered for sustainability reasons, but how Nitrogen cycle is managed in animals, what are the key metabolic reactions ? Let's see with Jaap van Milgen.

His key messages is followed by the slides of his presentation.

Importance of Dietary Methionine and Selenomethionine on Health and Reproduction

Thu, 14 Oct 2021 14:23:00 GMT

Webinar held on October 14th, 2021.

For the session's questions and answers, click here.

Speakers: Dr. Darren T. Juniper (retired), Former Associate Professor of Animal Science, University of Reading, England and Dr. Phil Cardoso, associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Both methionine (Met) and selenium (Se) are essential to dairy cow performance. Dr. Phil Cardoso, Associate Professor of Animal Science, University of Illinois, USA, says methionine, an essential nutrient, is heavily involved in the metabolic pathways of dairy cows. Methionine, however, cannot be synthesized in the required quantity. Research that extends to the 1970s shows that regularly meeting dairy cows’ methionine needs supports not only production – milk, milk protein and milkfat – but also animal health and reproduction. This includes metabolic diseases, timely breed backs and full-term pregnancies. For these reasons, methionine supplementation is becoming as common as daily vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Dr. Darren T. Juniper (retired), Former Associate Professor of Animal Science, University of Reading, England, reports that selenium is an essential trace element with key functions in antioxidant defense and immunity and inflammatory response modulation of the body. Feeding selenium in the form of SeMet, over inorganic sources or other organic selenium, is preferred because SeMet is metabolized as a constituent of the methionine pool. This leads to a storage depot of selenium being created in body tissues. Increased muscle and tissue reserves of selenium can enhance the resistance of livestock to stress and diseases, and represent a key strategy to help fight stress.

Dr. Phil Cardoso is an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his D.V.M. and M.S. degrees from the Universidade Federal Do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Since 2012, Phil has established a unique program that seamlessly blends his teaching, extension, and research efforts. The impact of Phil’s Dairy Science program is in placing students in applied positions and academia. Phil and his students have published over 75 peer-reviewed manuscripts (original research and invited reviews) and three invited book chapters to date. The program builds from questions asked by dairy producers and focuses on having the dairy cow’s diet as a medical prescription for performance, health, and reproduction. That is achieved by understanding the impact of nutrition on metabolism, reproduction, and health in dairy cows, as well as the mechanisms of metabolic adaptation to stressors and forage quality.

Dr. Darren T. Juniper worked within the University of Reading’s Animal Science Research Division. He gained his doctorate degree from Reading in 2003 – titled “Diet and Endocrine Responses in Beef Cattle.” He has been involved in animal production research for more than 30 years. During this time, he worked with most classes of domestic livestock (ruminant and monogastric) – covering a diverse range of research topics. Over the last 15 years, Dr. Juniper has researched trace element nutrition, primarily selenium and iodine in animal diets. His selenium-based research has focused on the effects of selenium source on aspects of animal and human health, as well as the deposition of selenium in the products and post-mortem tissues of both ruminant and monogastric livestock.

Webinar#3: Feedase The Global Feed Digestibility Approach

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 10:00:39 GMT

Speakers: Prof K.E. Bach Knudsen, Prof M. Kidd, Dr J. Noblet and Pierre-André Geraert

More about the feedase effect. Prof K.E. Bach Knudsen, Prof M. Kidd and Dr J. Noblet have discussed about the indigestible fraction of feed and its impact on the global feed digestibility.

Questions and answers session held during the live

Q: What elements or factors in feed and feed manufacturing destroy enzyme structural integrity?

Mainly feed processing with water vapor, pressure and temperature are stressful to protein structures and depending on their level and duration could significantly impair enzyme structures and thus efficacy.

Q: As substrate concentration increases is enzyme dose or rate of activity more important?

The efficacy of the enzymes is related to breaking down few bonds to decrease the mocelular size and restore the nutrient accessibility or decrease viscosity. Most of enzymes are not used to completely degrade a substrate like endogenous amylase releasing glucose, but are more used to decrease the length of the polysaccharides to reduce impact on viscosity or accessibility for the endog enous enzymes. However, high doses of enzymes such as phytase need enough substrates to work on. Moreover NSP-enzyme dose response is usually curvilinear reaching a plateau irrespective of the substrate concentration.

Q: What are the anti nutrients specifically in corn?

More than anti-nutrients we should talk about low digestible or poorly digestible components that may affect the overall feed digestibility. As example the insoluble arabinoxylans highly ramified that you find in corn can reduce its nutritional value.

Q: About corn and soya bean diets. what is the percent % of cell wall fibers? and what are the exogenous enzymes required?

We have published many synthesis on those levels and recommend the following to get the best overview (Geraert et al., 2005, Dietary carbohydrates: a review of their physicochemical properties and digestibility in poultry and swine, 18 pp, Proc Eastern Nutrition Conference, ANAC, 10-11 May) as well as the most recent paper by Bach-Knudsen (Fiber and nonstarch polysaccharide content and variation in common crops used in broiler diets, Poult Sci, 2014, 93:2380-2393). Enzymes required to hydrolyse NSP from corn are endoxylanase, arabinofuranosidases, acetylxylan esterase, feruloyl esterase and glucuronidases. For soybean meal, a large range of enzymes is required including pectinases, xylanases, debranching enzymes.

Q: What is the different in anti nutrients between wheat and corn?

Most of the NSP structures exist in both cereals. However, the proportion of soluble NSP is higher in wheat than in corn and the arabinoxylans are more branched or ramified with arabinose residues in corn than wheat.

Q: You still haven´t mentioned the role of Proteases to increase total and aminoacids digestibility. Can you also explain the differences between birds and pigs regarding the mode of action of enzymes ?

Fundamentally exogenous enzymes are similar for both species but they may not release their effect at the same level of the digestive tract (pH, transit time…). Proteolytic enzymes are very abundant in the metabolism of our animal species, however, there is often a limited access to the protein in the vegetables for those endogenous enzymes. That's why NSP-enzymes having a range of enzyme activities have shown improvement in amino acid digestibility. Such an effect is not direct on the proteins but indirect giving more access of the chymotrypsine, pepsine... to the substrates.

Q: How this enzyme could behave in the rumen? Do you think it could improve feed digestibility in Dairy and beef cattle?

NSP-enzymes have already been evaluated in ruminants. They indeed improve the access to the fibres and may result in increased energy availability but have not yet often justified enough return-on-Investment.

Q: Beyond phytate and the specific compounds from soy, what anti-nutritional factors can you considered important in corn-wheat-soy diets?

Soybeans are riched in pectins, complex polysaccharide structures, and corn contain highly ramified arabinoxylans. Those structures limit the accessibility to the nutrients and are thus important to consider to improve feed digestibility?

Q: Organic acid can improve ndf digestion?

Improving the functioning of the intestine through lowering pH for instance will have an effect on feed digestibility. However, the animals do not possess the enzymatic activities required to truly digest fibres and improving the gut functioning will not generate new enzyme production such as xylanase or b-glucanase. Lowering pH especially in the hindgut might favour fibrolytic bacteria and subsequently improve NDF digestion. Unfortunately, the yield of such action might be very low.

Approaches to identify biomarkers for intestinal health and the first tools...

Tue, 02 Jul 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speakers: Prof Filip VAN IMMERSEEL, Faculty Vet Medicine, Ghent Univ, Belgium

New technologies are promising to develop biomarkers of gut health. The most important would be to have predictive biomarkers to anticipate gut health disturbance. Today, macroscopic (ballooning, tonicity, residues…) and microscopic (villi, tight junctions, …) observations help to better appreciate gut health condition but inflammation, immune parameters and microbiota are also important. Microbiota signature is associated with gut disorders, but microbial functional activity is even more predictor of such dysbiosis.

Thu, 27 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof M. RODEHUTSCORD (Hohenheim Univ, Germany)

Presentation:
Lots of factors of variability have to be involved to predict the nutritional value of cereals and their by-products.

Advancia Academy 2019

Variability: the nutritionist’s nightmare:

How to monitor its impact to improve feed formulation?

Feed is the largest contributor to the cost of animal protein production. It is therefore, the main cause of uncertainty and anxiety for nutritionists and feed formulators. Dealing with variability to prepare consistent feeds is the objective of nutritionists worldwide.

There are no bad raw materials… only wrongly evaluated and incorrectly used raw materials.

Presentation:
Processing factors are also involved to explain the nutritional variability of soybean meals. As digestible lysine value is poorly correlated with crude protein content, other methods need to be employed to appreciate the current nutritional value of soybean meals.

Amino Acids: key for the functioning of intestine

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Amino Acids: key for the functioning of intestine

First pass of Amino Acids supplies the intestinal AA requirement. Males and females exhibit difference in AA requirement that should be better taken into account. Challenging conditions (dirty environment or sub-clinical Clostridium infection) significantly increase the demand for lots of amino acids among with Threonine and BCAA. Arg needs also increase under cocci challenge.

Low protein diets & Feed digestibility under hot conditions

Mon, 28 May 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speakers: Dr Ferry POERNAMA; Prof Mike KIDD and Prof Velmurugu RAVINDRAN

Heat affects gut physiology and metabolism and thus its amino acid needs: should we revise our feed formulation concept?

Raising poultry in hot tropical environment

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Ferry Poernama, Feed Tech & Nutrition Director, Japfa Comfeed, Jakarta, Indonesia

Heat stress not only means hot temperatures but also high humidity and eventually heat spikes. Farm management with controlling the ambient temperature is key. Heat stress reduces performance but also challenges immunity, disease resistance and nutritional basis.

Specific dietary appetites in broilers with hyperthermia

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Eugeni Roura, Queensland Univ, Brisbane, Australia

The 1st consequence of heat stress is a reduced feed intake. Modern broilers appeared more sensitive to protein than energy intake also under hot conditions. Stimulating the specific appetite for amino acids may be a good lever to improve performance under heat challenges.

Feed digestibility under hot conditions

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Ravindran, Poultry Science Department, Massey Univ, New Zealand

Nutrient digestibility is often reduced under hot conditions, but nutrient utilization is even more depressed leading to less protein retention independently of reduced feed intake.

Fibres in layer diets: properties and nutritional functions

Tue, 23 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Knud Erik Bach Knudsen

Dietary fibres: key feedstuffs to optimize layer nutrition. From adverse to beneficial effects.

Fibres are important components of the layer diets, often more diluted than broiler ones. Having a better knowledge of the characteristics of those fibres will help to better value them. The fibre fraction is represented by carbohydrates and lignin which cannot be digested by the endogenous enzymes. The most important functional properties of fibres are related to solubility and viscous properties in the gut and the encapsulation of potentially available nutrients. Exogenous enzymes can be used to alleviate some of the negative effects of the fibre in relation to feed intake, digestibility and nutrient utilization.
