Precision nutrition in ruminants
Today’s consumers demand increasingly efficient, low-impact food production, and that includes animal production.
This means that in addition to cost efficiency, the sector must also find effective solutions to reduce environmental impact. Meanwhile, we have become more aware of the risks of using antibiotics to improve efficiency, due to the development of multi-resistant bacteria. Not to mention taking into account animal welfare and quality of life.
Each of these challenges may seem very different, even contradictory, but solutions do exist, ideally addressing several issues at once. It’s no surprise that the concept of “precision feeding” is becoming one of the industry’s go-to solutions.
