Understanding Different Types of Stress in Livestock

Stress is an inevitable part of livestock production, but when it becomes constant or unmanaged, it affects the animal’s entire biological system. Every stressful event triggers the release of cortisol, the body’s key stress hormone. While short-term spikes in cortisol help animals respond to immediate challenges, long-term elevation can compromise immunity, reduce productivity, and diminish […]

Effect of Ammonia and Humidity on Poultry Health

In poultry farming, two critical environmental factors that significantly influence bird health and performance are litter ammonia and relative humidity. Ammonia is released when uric acid in poultry droppings decomposes, and elevated levels can damage the respiratory system, eyes, and footpads, eventually reducing productivity and increasing mortality. Relative humidity represents the amount of moisture in […]

Future Trends of Choline in Animal Nutrition

Chemically known as 2-hydroxyethyltrimethylammonium, choline is an organic compound which is a colourless ammonium salt, highly soluble in water. Choline, neither a vitamin nor a mineral, is a vital nutrient required for normal body functions. Choline was once grouped with Vitamin B, however, choline does not fit the standard of a vitamin, and it does […]

Choline Chloride’s Hygroscopic Effects In Animal Feed

Choline chloride is one of the most widely used feed additives for livestock and poultry because of its essential role as a nutrient. However, its hygroscopic nature has a strong tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, which can rapidly affect physical characteristics and stability in feed blends. Choline chloride typically appears as a white […]

Stabilizing the flow: How digestion and metabolism drive milk production in dairy cattle

Introduction Efficient digestion and metabolic processes in dairy cows drive both milk production volume and component quality. A healthy microbial fermentation in the rumen enables optimal nutrient extraction, while well-regulated metabolism ensures the conversion of these nutrients into milk constituents like fat, protein, and lactose.
