How do ration changes influence the rumen environment and its microbial population?
The amount of B vitamins available to a cow changes with the ingredient composition of the ration as well as rumen fermentation events. Studies demonstrate the

SEASON 5 EPISODE 2
Research shows that supplementation of folic acid and vitamin B12 helps cows cope with challenges during the transition period. Dr. Melissa Duplessis digs deeper into micronutrients, plus shares other insights about transition cow nutrition and the important role B vitamins and trace minerals play in metabolism.
SEASON 3 EPISODE 8
What can a calf raiser do to enhance performance and minimize stress? Dr. Michael Steele discusses early calf nutrition and how feeding for growth can improve overall lifetime production. Learn more about the windows of developmental programming opportunities and how early life nutrition and calf management practices can impact overall performance.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 7
How can mixing feed become more efficient and less stressful? Let’s look at a Feed Zone Model Concept to maximize all the traffic movements around the feed center – allowing the team to focus on the cows. David Greene talks about farm synchronization and reducing interference to ensure feeding efficiency.

Nutritional stress may occur from an insufficient supply of nutrients. On the flip side, stress can also lead to increased nutritional requirements. We know that whether a cow is stressed during transition or heat stress or at peak lactation, it’s important to support her metabolic needs. Learn more from Vicki Brisson.
SEASON 3 EPISODE 11
Gut health is a function of ration composition, and therefore proper ration management can minimize gut health issues and resulting metabolic stress. Dr. Lance Baumgard discusses how stress can lead to leaky gut which in turn influences milk production.
