The importance of keeping cool when feeding TMR - part 2
In part 1 of this article, you learned that when all the elements of the diet are mixed together in the TMR, the cows receive a balanced diet with each bite. However, there are unwanted microorganisms in the TMR, known as aerobic spoilage, that can reduce the feed's nutritive value and palatability. The rising temperature of the TMR causes more unwanted fermentation.

Feeding strategies can be sustainable and profitable when raising piglets without zinc oxide
Interview with Dr. Francesc Molist Weaning is an important but highly stressful time for piglets. Several stressors put huge pressure on their digestive and immune systems making piglets vulnerable to diseases, like post-weaning diarrhea (PWD). Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been successfully used as a cost-effective solution of mitigating PWD for many years. But in 2017, the European Commission supported a decision by the European Medicines Agency to move away from using pharmacological doses of ZnO in piglets’ feeds. Because the benefit of using ZnO does not outweigh the negative environmental impact and the associated risk of increasing antimicrobial resistance bacteria. This new context demands for alternative solutions to prevent PWD and maintain the piglet’s health status during weaning. A multifaceted approach needs to be taken which incorporates biosecurity, health care, management, and nutrition. Join us in this interview with DVM, PhD, BBS Francesc Molist, Research & Development manager at Schothorst Feed Research (Netherlands) where we discuss new nutritional approaches when feeding piglets after the ZnO ban and give useful advice for pig producers to maintain a sustainable and profitable production during these new times.

The importance of keeping cool when feeding TMR - part 1
A total mixed ration (TMR) is a blend of silage, grains, other feed by-products, concentrates, and minerals; everything a cow needs for optimal milk production. It is consistent in its composition and is fed to cows at least once a day, making it an efficient way of delivering nutrients to the dairy herd.

The role of water in piglet weaning programs without zinc oxide
The imminent ban on the therapeutic use of zinc oxide (ZnO) in pig production in the EU is a consequence of the sanitary and environmental risks posed by the use of ZnO, by the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products (CVMP) in 2019. From the producer's perspective, its application does nothing but adding more complexity to the already highly demanding task of producing pigs efficiently and profitably.

The importance of Feed Hygiene in Zinc Oxide reduction
Pharmacological doses of ZnO were commonly added to piglet diets to support gut health and reduce the incidence of PWD, reducing mortality rates and the long-term improved performance of the animal. However, that option is no longer available to pig producers.

Why the choice of lubricant base oil matters?
Lubricants are used almost everywhere: in industries, in cars, trucks, trams and locomotives, in air conditioners, refrigerators and cooling systems. By choosing lubricants wisely, producers can reduce the environmental footprint of their product: saving energy and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, reducing harm to the environment from leakage and decrease the use of virgin fossil raw materials.
