The Future of Dairy Nutrition: Amino Acids Over Crude Protein!

The German Society of Nutrition Physiology (Gesellschaft für Ernährungsphysiologie) has made a groundbreaking recommendation: from now on, balanced rations for dairy cows should be calculated solely based on amino acids. This marks a significant shift in the approach to dairy nutrition.

Traditionally, crude protein has been a cornerstone in formulating balanced rations. However, the GfE’s new guidelines highlight the importance of amino acids in optimizing cow health, milk production, and overall efficiency. By focusing on amino acids, nutritionists can tailor diets more precisely to meet the specific needs of dairy cows, ensuring they receive the essential building blocks for growth, reproduction, and lactation.

HYBRIMIN® will integrate these new guidelines into our Futter 5 and Futter X ration-balancing software. This update will help farmers and nutritionists create more effective and efficient feeding strategies, ultimately leading to healthier cows and better milk yields.
