This organ allows cattle to utilize browse and pastures feeds that are  otherwise indigestible, converting them into essential nutrients.  The fermentation process in the rumen not only enhances the digestibility of feed but also produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which serve as a primary energy source for...

Recent feedback from producers in China indicates that phosphorus pricing has become highly volatile. This instability is primarily due to shortages in sulphuric acid, a critical component in the production of phosphoric acid—the essential raw material that reacts with urea to produce urea phosphate. The heightened demand for sulphuric acid is largely driven by its increased use in electric vehicle (EV) and battery production. As a result, phosphoric aci...

They actually need a lot more than the cow does. Any lack of P will slow down their metabolism and the first physical sign is a reduction of dry matter intake by the cow. This, in turn, leads to lower performance and in the case of P deficiency, leads to lower reproduction and weight loss.The response to feeding P has been well known and documented. However, there are P's and P's. The P used in many licks is based on...
