Dr. Mike Van Amburgh: Amino Acids and Precision: A New Era of Dairy Nutrition | Ep. 84

The Dairy Podcast Show

Precision nutrition is crucial for optimizing dairy herd health and milk yield. Farmers can boost feed efficiency, enhance protein use, and cut nitrogen waste by fine-tuning essential amino acids. This method promotes animal welfare and supports environmental sustainability and economic resilience in dairy farming. In this episode, Dr. Mike Van Amburgh from Cornell University unveils a model that advances precision nutrition by accounting for all ten essential amino acids. Dr. Amburgh highlights that this breakthrough can lead to more cost-effective diets, increased productivity, and a reduced environmental footprint through improved nitrogen management.

"Precision nutrition allows for consistent and transparent diet formulation, empowering nutritionists."
