由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

If you are a livestock farmer, you know how important it is to provide your animals with a balanced and nutritious diet. A good diet can improve their health, growth, reproduction, and productivity. However, sometimes your livestock's diet may be lacking in some essential nutrients, such as protein, energy, minerals, or vitamins. This can lead to poor performance, reduced immunity, and increased susceptibility to diseases and parasites. How can you prevent or correct these nutritional deficiencies? One way is to supplement your livestock's diet with suitable feed that can boost their intake of the missing nutrients. In this article, we will discuss some common types of feed that can help your livestock thrive.

1 Protein supplements

Protein is a vital component of your livestock's diet, as it is necessary for building and repairing body tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. However, not all protein sources are equal. Some are more digestible and have a higher biological value than others. For example, animal protein, such as fish meal, meat meal, or milk products, is generally more digestible and has a higher biological value than plant protein, such as soybean meal, cottonseed meal, or sunflower meal. However, animal protein is also more expensive and may not be readily available. Therefore, you may need to balance the cost and availability of protein supplements with the quality and quantity of protein your livestock needs.

In addressing the nutritional needs of my livestock, a feed rich in essential elements such as protein, vitamins, and minerals is paramount. A balanced blend of forages, grains, and supplements can help promote optimal growth and health. Consulting with a veterinarian or nutritionist is crucial to formulate a diet tailored to the specific requirements of the livestock. Whether it's high-quality hay, grain mixes, or specialized supplements, the key is to prioritize a feed that not only meets basic nutritional needs but also enhances overall well-being, ensuring that my livestock not only survive but thrive.

A flora ruminal é uma fonte fantástica de proteinas para o ruminante. Ao suplementar proteinas, devemos estar atentos ao balan?o entre nitrogenio e cadeias carbonadas no Rumen, de forma a maximizar a produ??o de proteina microbiana e evitar o excesso de proteina degradável, que conduzirá a um gasto energetico importante em sua detoxifica?ao.

2 Energy supplements

Energy is another essential nutrient for your livestock's diet, as it is needed for maintaining body functions, supporting growth and reproduction, and fueling physical activity. However, energy requirements vary depending on the type, age, weight, and production level of your livestock. For example, lactating cows, growing pigs, and laying hens need more energy than dry cows, mature pigs, and non-laying hens. Therefore, you may need to adjust the energy content of your livestock's diet according to their stage of production and performance. Some common energy supplements include cereal grains, such as corn, wheat, barley, or oats; by-products, such as molasses, distillers grains, or brewers grains; and fats and oils, such as vegetable oil, animal fat, or tallow.

Antes de pensar em suplementar alimentos energéticos, é preciso assegurar que um balan?o adequado de proteínas degradáveis no rumem, de forma a maximizar a digestibilidade da forragem. Um minimo de 10% de Proteina degradável no rumem por kg de NDT é essencial e muito mais barato do que qualquer alimento energético

3 Mineral supplements

Minerals are inorganic elements that play important roles in your livestock's diet, such as maintaining bone and teeth structure, regulating fluid balance and acid-base equilibrium, and facilitating enzyme and hormone activity. However, minerals are classified into two groups: macro-minerals and micro-minerals. Macro-minerals are required in larger amounts and include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorine, and sulfur. Micro-minerals are required in smaller amounts and include iron, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, iodine, cobalt, and molybdenum. However, both groups are equally important and a deficiency or excess of any mineral can cause health problems and performance issues. Therefore, you may need to supplement your livestock's diet with mineral mixes, blocks, or licks that can provide them with the appropriate balance and ratio of minerals.

Minerals are essential for proper metabolic functions in livestock. Mineral mixture contains all the essential minerals in required quantities. Feeding area specific mineral mixture should be preferred. It helps improve growth rate in calves, better utilization of absorbed nutrients, increases milk production in animals, improves reproductive efficiency and reduces inter-calving period, increases productive life of animals, improves immunity status, and prevents metabolic diseases like milk fever, ketosis, haematuria which occur around calving period. The recommended feeding amount is: Calves: 20-25 g daily Heifers and dry animals: 50 g per animal daily Milking Animals: 100-200 g per animal daily (as per milk production) .

Pensando em pecuária a pasto, a suplementa??o mineral, especialmente na época da seca, é de fundamental importancia para obtermos bons resultados. Ainda que tenhamos muitas informa??es técnicas de alto nível nesse assunto, é facilmente percebido por quem está no campo que, fazer o básico da melhor forma possível, já é um grande passo. Erros comuns, como misturar tipos de sal diferentes, fornecimento abaixo do necessário ou em estruturas de cocho insuficientes, impactam fortemente o resultado do negócio.

4 Vitamin supplements

Vitamins are organic compounds that act as co-factors or regulators of various metabolic processes in your livestock's diet, such as energy production, tissue synthesis, antioxidant defense, and immune response. However, vitamins are also classified into two groups: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body fat and include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body and include vitamins B and C. However, both groups are essential and a deficiency or excess of any vitamin can cause health problems and performance issues. Therefore, you may need to supplement your livestock's diet with vitamin premixes, injections, or oral solutions that can provide them with the adequate amount and frequency of vitamins.

5 Feed additives

Feed additives are substances added to your livestock's diet that can improve their quality, palatability, stability, or digestibility. These additives are not essential nutrients, but they can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your livestock's diet. Probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, antibiotics, and antioxidants are all common feed additives. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can improve the balance and activity of the intestinal flora and enhance the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms in the gut and improve the immune function and health status of your livestock. Enzymes are biological catalysts that break down complex molecules into simpler ones and increase the availability and utilization of nutrients in your livestock's diet. Antibiotics are drugs that can inhibit or kill harmful bacteria, but they must be used with caution and under veterinary supervision as they can also affect beneficial bacteria and cause antibiotic resistance. Lastly, antioxidants are compounds that protect your livestock from oxidative stress and free radical damage and improve their health and longevity.

Digestibility of feed and bioavailability of nutrients in feed can be greatly enhanced by compatible and targeted enzymes. Type and source of feed enzymes are paramount in the absorption of energy and micronutrients from feed.

In livestock's diet, understanding actual nutritional supplement is very crucial considering protein, energy, vitamins and minerals, etc. Also, the livestock breed would also help in diagnosing nutrient supplementation; monogastric and ruminant alike. Moreover, feed processing for the breed of livestock is another factor to be consider when talking about balancing livestock's diet vis-a-vis milling and mixing.

Certaines voies novatrices se doivent d’être explorées plus en profondeur. Par exemple, les bacteriophages sont de plus en plus compris par l’industrie, qui y voit un outil de plus pour prévenir certaines infections. Cependant les instances réglementaires sont bien souvent en retard sur la régulation.

The truth is that there is no one answer to this question. Instead, there are steps you can follow. First, you need to know the health status of your livestock. Next, know the feeding habit. Next, know the feed quality. Next, ask an Agriculturist who knows how to formulate feed for help. If you reformulate the feed yourself, the chances that you might not use the enough ratio us high. So, ask for help!
