How ration amino acid balancing improves the environmental impact of nitrogen from dairy cows

Adisseo Season 2 Episode 1

European researchers described how the EU Project Dy+Milk investigated better efficiency of metabolizable protein use by reducing dietary metabolizable protein content through less use of soybean meal from Brazil and balancing the profile of digestible amino acids in diets for lactating cows.

This investigation confirmed that better balancing methionine and lysine using rumen-protected amino acids in reduced metabolizable protein diets (containing less Brazilian soybean meal) increased cow performance and improved the environmental impact of nitrogen in high production dairy cow herds in western France.

Based on 2022 American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) abstract: 

2279T Rumen-protected methionine and lysine supplementation improved performances and environmental impact of nitrogen when lowering dietary protein content in dairy farms
