New dairy feed developed in Brazil

Introduction: researchers from the Institute of higher agriculture, Kiros, Sao Paulo, Brazil, have recently developed a new type of feed that enables cows to produce natural milk with low fat and high protein to meet the market demand for low fat milk without affecting the nutritional composition of milk The researchers fed the new feed to 30 cows The fat content of the milk produced by these cows is equal to that of semi skimmed milk, and the milk output is 10% higher than that of the cows fed with common feed Similar results have been obtained in experiments on 20 cows in the United States According to reports, the secret of this kind of feed is that it contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) Because the substances naturally secreted by dairy cows and contained in milk can regulate the two enzymes of fat production in the body of dairy cows, the researchers found that the increase of CLA content in feed will reduce the fat content of milk In order to solve the problem of adding CLA to feed without damaging the digestive system of dairy cows, they mixed the molecules of CLA with calcium salt and added them to feed (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
