🐄 Maintaining optimal gut health in dairy cows is crucial for their overall health, productivity, and welfare. The digestive system of a dairy cow is intricate, consisting of multiple organs and a rich, diverse microbial population. Disruptions to gut health can lead to digestive disorders, reduced feed efficiency, and decreased milk production. Steyn Pretorius, our Technical Manager for Dairy, recently published an article where he discusses various strategies that farmers can use to improve gut health, including Dietary Management, Microbiome Modulation and Environmental Factors. By focusing on these strategies, farmers can help their dairy cows maintain robust gut health, leading to improved productivity and overall well-being.
