The discovery was unveiled during the 3rd LifeStart Symposium co-hosted by Trouw Nutrition, the livestock feed business of Nutreco, and the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, 17-18 October in Nottingham, England. The new technology allows for milk replacers to be formulated in a way that more closely resembles bovine milk, compared to milk replacers traditionally based on available dairy industry bioproducts. Commercial milk replacers are typically formulated with higher levels of lactose and lower levels of fat compared to whole bovine milk. Javier Martín-Tereso, PhD, manager of the ruminant team at Trouw Nutrition Research and Development, noted that the findings set the stage for a paradigm shift in calf nutrition. Throughout the symposium, participants engaged with some of the world’s foremost authorities in calf nutrition, rearing, and management.
