The feeding standards for dairy cows have been adjusted – this will change!
is Feeding animals according to their performance level the foundation for health, efficiency, animal welfare, and low nutrient excretion. Ration formulation is based on feeding standards derived from the results of scientific trials. In German-speaking countries, the previous feeding recommendations of the German Society for Nutritional Physiology (GfE) from 2001 have been evaluated and significantly revised.
These changes are described in detail in the "Recommendations for the Nutrient and Energy Supply of Dairy Cows," published by the GfE in 2023.
In this podcast interview between PD Dr. Andreas Steinwidder and Dr. Georg Terler, you will learn about the adjustments made and how they will affect analysis, feed evaluation, and the nutritional requirements of dairy cows. The podcast also examines the implementation process of the standards, from the feed industry to practical application. Dr. Georg Terler is leading a major project on this topic at the Institute for Livestock Research at the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein.
We cordially invite you to listen to this interesting podcast episode.
