New (and Old) Technologies to Improve Feed Efficiency of the Dairy Industry
Summary Dairy feed efficiency, as defined by the fraction of feed energy and protein captured in products, has more than doubled in many countries over the past 100 years.This increase occurred mostly because of a focus on improving production per cow, but, for the future, we must focus more directly on efficiency.Efficiency can be improved further by using genomic technologies to select for more efficient cattle and by feeding cows to more optimally meet nutrient requirements during different stages of the lactation cycle.
