Ruminant Nutrition
Ruminant nutrition is the study of the nutritional needs of animals in the family Bovidae including cows, sheep, goats, and other ruminants. It is a critically important field of study that helps ensure that these animals receive the correct balance of nutrients to grow, develop, and produce optimal yields of milk and meat. Ruminant nutrition is important for animal health, and to improve the sustainability of agricultural production. It also helps farmers produce high-quality feed at a lower cost, while minimizing environmental impact by minimizing the need for costly inputs. Through improved nutritional management, producers can reduce feed costs, improve animal health and sustainably improve yields.
