On this episode, co-host Katy Starr and guest expert Dr. Reid Redden explore the intricacies of raising sheep and goats, including:

• Differences and similarities between raising ruminant and non-ruminant species, particularly sheep and goats
• Why some sheep are actually deficient in copper because of the fear of “copper toxicity”
• The most common struggles sheep and goat owners face

Their discussion covers everything from the common myth that “goats will eat anything” to essential advice, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in entering the world of small-scale livestock ranching or even backyard sheep or goat ownership.

This episode is from a webinar presented by Dr. Clay Zimmerman, Director of Technical Services at Balchem. To view the full webinar and access the slides referenced during this podcast, visit balchem.com/realscience and scroll down to the webinar presented on December 12th, 2023.

Dr. Zimmerman begins with an overview of Balchem’s microencapsulation technologies in both human nutrition and health and animal nutrition and health businesses. (0:31)

Encapsulation is a generic term, and huge differences can exist between products that protect the same compound. Balchem’s microencapsulation technology consists of packaging a substance in a lipid capsule for protection. Encapsulates can differ in design, technology, and performance. When it comes to performance in ruminant encapsulates, stability in feed mixing and TMRs and animal performance are evaluated. (6:50)

Lipid encapsulation usually comes in one of two forms, a matrix encapsulation or a true encapsulation. A good analogy for matrix encapsulation is chocolate chip cookie dough, where some active compound is always at the surface. In the rumen, this leads to reduced protection and stability. True encapsulation, often called single-layer or multiple-layer encapsulation, is analogous to an m&m where there is no active compound at the surface, and this leads to greater protection and stability in the rumen.  (12:00)

So why do we encapsulate nutrients for ruminants? In general, for targeted delivery within the gastrointestinal tract of the animal because rumen fermentation often results in massive breakdown of most of these important compounds. For example, choline chloride is almost completely degraded in the rumen. (18:30)

When developing or improving rumen-protected products for nutrients such as choline chloride, methionine, lysine, or niacin, the primary goal is to protect them as much as possible from ruminal degradation while achieving post-ruminal absorption. Once prototypes have good ruminal stability and good intestinal release, the next step is feed and mixing stability. Dr. Zimmerman goes on to showcase different research techniques for evaluating encapsulates in these three areas as well as in animal performance. (20:39)

In summary, there are many differences in encapsulated products for dairy cows, due to the design of products; types, amount, and composition of coatings; manufacturing differences; and differences in nutrient content, bioavailability, and feed stability. True encapsulates, or multi-layered coating products, are preferred for ruminant applications due to their higher levels of ruminant and feed stability. Four really important features of a good ruminant encapsulate are good ruminal stability, good nutrient bioavailability, feed and TMR stability, and ultimately biological performance. (47:05)

Dr. Zimmerman then answers questions from the webinar audiences about in vitro techniques and bioavailability, coating ingredients, the importance of base diet for rumen fluid donors in in vitro techniques, variation in products from in vitro to in vivo results, how long it takes to develop a new encapsulated product (Balchem spends years and even decades researching before a product release), and why nutrient contents differ so much in similar encapsulated products on the market. (49:58)

Non essential AA play an important role in early postpartum milk production and protein synthesis.  Research results point to the importance of the supply of certain non essential amino acids for maximizing early postpartum milk production and protein synthesis. 

To maximize milk yields and components at the start of lactation, two factors are important. First, optimize a supply of essential AAs with a profile similar to casein through ration formulation with diverse protein sources and protected amino acids. Then ensure an adequate supply of certain non essential amino acids.

Researchers explored the use of 15N as a biomarker to predict nitrogen use efficiency in the peripartum period. They found that 15N may have limited applicability as a biomarker to predict nitrogen use efficiency.

 Based on two 2021 American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) abstracts: 
373 Abomasal amino acid infusions in postpartum dairy cows.
374 Effect of abomasal amino acid infusions on metabolism in postpartum. 
164 Predictions of N use efficiency from natural 15N abundance in periparturient dairy cows are impaired by the protein mobilization.

Mycotoxins reduce rumen performance, according to UNH research.  Mycotoxin deactivators increase the production of beneficial metabolites and, thus, increase cow health and performance. 

The effects of the mycotoxin deactivator UNIKE® Plus was investigated on rumen parameters in cows fed mycotoxin-contaminated dried distillers grains. While mycotoxin impaired rumen volatile fatty acid production and the microbial population, these parameters were restored by the mycotoxin deactivator, resulting in a healthier rumen.

The effect of supplementing low-forage dairy diets (28% forage) with rumen protected lysine and methionine to balance amino acid levels was evaluated. Supplemental amino acids did not alter milk fat and protein but had beneficial effects on milk yield and mammary health, increasing yields by +0.6 kg/d and decreasing risk of mastitis (0.39 times lower).

Based on 2021 American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) abstract:
P461 Supplementing low-forage diets with rumen-protected Met and Lys results in a reduction in mastitis risk and a modest increase of milk yield for mid-lactation multiparous Holstein cows.

Research shows the uterine immunometabolic status of dairy cows improves when a rumen protected methionine is fed during the peripartum period. The abundance of mRNA in inflammatory and metabolic pathways were favorably altered, indicating a beneficial effect of methionine on immune responses and metabolism during the challenging transition period and early lactation. This favors a uterine environment for successful breeding.

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Cubitt and Katy chat about hay alternative options for horses that travel for shows, if your winter supply is running out or to proactively prepare yourself if you ever experience a natural disaster.  

They also discuss how to safely transition your horse when introducing new feeds, different types of hay or different hay forms (long stem vs. cube vs. pellet, etc.) to minimize the risk of colic and how to improve your horse’s diet when the only hay you have available is lower quality hay.

So you think you love animals? We think Lierre Keith loves them more. After strictly following a vegan diet for two decades, and the expense of her own health, she had to begin eating animal products again. After learning the truth about the sustainability, politics, and human health aspect of only eating plants, she wrote the highly acclaimed The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability in 2009. The book is hard hitting and honest, with a few hilarious anecdotes mixed in (we had to have her tell us the lettuce/slug story!). Lierre helps us realize that, no matter what we choose to eat, something has to die. It's a complicated and sobering thought, but facing the truth helps us eat more mindfully and thankfully. We are grateful for Lierre and her courage to tell the truth, regardless of the outcome!

Guest: Dr. Brian Aldridge, University of Illinois

The crew is gathered at the Real Science Exchange again this week. We feature our guest Dr. Brian Aldridge who works in Rural Animal Health Management at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois. Hosting the discussion is Scott Sorrell, joined by Dr. Clay Zimmerman and Dr. Ken Sanderson from Balchem Animal Nutrition and Health.

Listeners who enjoy the Real Science lecture series heard from Dr. Aldridge earlier this year. You can check out the presentation here: https://youtu.be/JoQl6NE-SZM.

A central theme for the discussion is Dr. Aldridge’s way of thinking; when we see an issue, such as intestinal problems, we think of bugs rather than thinking about the animals themselves. Pathogens very often are the manifestation of poor health rather than the cause of poor health. 0:52

Dr. Aldridge introduces the idea of a healthy phenotype and a resistant phenotype. 5:42

While learning about genetics and discussing various factors, Dr. Aldridge brings it back to the basic formula of phenotype = genetics x environment x time. 9:13

The group discussed natural stressors from a changing environment. Dr. Aldridge dove into research that examines the need to build the relationship between human caretakers and, in the case of the discussion, cattle. 16:35

While the industry often seeks out standard protocols or key performance indicators, KPIs, it’s not always as easy as a set approach to management that works across the industry. 19:10

Diets play a big part in animal health, but Dr. Aldridge discusses how your dietary approach can also support the resistant phenotypes. 36:51

Dr. Aldridge answers questions from the lecturer audience, and the discussion includes diving into the outcome from a disease is determined by the extent and duration of the pathology. 52:36

If you have questions about maintaining health in the ruminant digestive tract or suggestions for future sessions, feel free to email anh.marketing@balchem.com.  

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Cubitt and Katy discuss the uniqueness of the horse’s digestive system, how much hay a horse needs to consume, how much additional hay your horse needs when it gets cold, windy and/or rainy, if certain types of hay are more digestible than others and if you should feed your horse hay or grain first.

This week we interview Dr. Peter Ballerstedt. Please excuse the audio quality. The connection wasn't the best, but the content is just too good not to pass along.

Dr. Ballerstedt has an extensive background in forage production, utilization, and forage-based livestock production systems. He was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 until 1992. His personal experience has led him to re-examine human diet and health. What he has learned doesn’t agree with the advice we’ve been given for the past several decades. This new understanding, combined with his forage background, has given him an interest in local, sustainable animal production systems.
