Keep your dairy herd free from the effects of heat stress
Many of us underestimate how easily rising temperatures can impact our dairy herds. However, your dairy cows can feel the effects of heat stress at lower temperatures than you might think, especially those in more temperate regions. This means that your dairy cows can feel the effects of heat stress throughout the year.

Egalis is a new range of high-quality silage inoculants from Alltech that maximises nutrient quality retention and reduces dry matter loss.
A growing season once again dominated by extreme weather
Many crop growers are now beginning to wonder whether prolonged droughts and sudden flash floods are the new normal in Europe, with average summer temperatures on the continent being the highest on record this year. Such conditions are significantly affecting both crop yield and quality across Europe. France’s wheat crop dropped by 20%,… more
With feed prices remaining at such high levels, it is more important than ever to ensure that the quality and nutritional value of your grains and forages are being optimised as the winter feeding season approaches. Although field conditions during harvest play a significant role in determining the quality of ingredients at feed out, producers should not discount the importance of good storage… more

Egalis controls and drives forage fermentations through the… more
Prevent milk solids from dropping this spring
ADDRESSING THE DROP IN BUTTERFAT
A decline in butterfat percentages is common during spring months – when cows are grazing lush grass that is low in fibre and high in oil and sugars.
As producers in Europe navigate the complexities of an ever-changing climate, a growing body of evidence underscores the critical role that climate variability plays in shaping mycotoxin landscapes — and risks — across regions.
Testing shows that the greatest mycotoxin risk in European total mixed rations comes from Penicillium mycotoxins. A proper mycotoxin control programme during the forage storage period reduces the level of risk.
Safeguarding the well-being and performance of livestock are top priorities in any animal agriculture operation. But mycotoxins, which present a serious and ongoing risk to feed quality, can undermine those goals. The Alltech European Harvest Analysis has revealed a notably high mycotoxin challenge for 2023, primarily attributed to the challenging weather conditions throughout the region. … more
