Pushing the boundaries of metabolic flexibility to improve protein efficiency

Join our webinar to discover how digestible amino acid profiles drive protein efficiency in dairy cows. In this presentation we will explore how pushing the boundaries of metabolic flexibility can improve protein efficiency in dairy cows while supporting sustainability goals and reducing nitrogen losses to the environment. Learn the latest insights on the remarkable flexibility of the mammary gland to adapt to varying amino acid supplies, and how different energy sources influence protein efficiency. Explore why optimizing the profile of digestible amino acids improves milk protein, as well as practical approaches to optimize RUP supplementation and ration formulation.
