Balancing amino acids for better dairy farm outcomes

Today, I received Dr. Andre Pereira for an enlightening episode, to discuss the intricacies of amino acid supplementation for dairy cows. We explored the critical role of methionine and lysine, the importance of balancing these nutrients with the cow's energy needs, and how these practices impact milk production and quality. Dr. Pereira shares his insights from years of field experience, including the economic considerations on dairy farms and the surprising effects of diet adjustments on milk protein percentage and yield.
