The Actual Energy Value of NDF in Dairy Nutrition

In this episode of The Dairy Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, I welcomed Dr. Paul Kononoff for an in-depth discussion on the significance of Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) in dairy cattle nutrition. Dr. Kononoff is one of the greatest minds in our industry and currently holds the position of Editor-in-Chief at the Journal of Dairy Science. We delved into traditional methods and new approaches to assess the energy value of NDF, including insights from groundbreaking studies. As Dr. Kononoff well says, research in this area is crucial for the dairy industry in developing more effective and tailored feeds. Join us to discover how these findings are revolutionizing dairy cattle nutrition.
