#Role_of_Starch_in_Dairy_Nutrition🌽🌾
🌐 Carbohydrates and the fats are dense energy sources for animals 🐄 and use for increase in milk production 📈
🌐 Starch and Sugars are non-fiber carbs in animal diets and starch is a rapidly fermentable carbs in the rumen vat 🪣
#Higher_Concentration⬆️⬆️
- A ration with higher concentration of cereal grains 🌾 (wheat, corn, barley, oat) definitely increase the starch percentages in animal' s diet.
- Starch level should be 28 to 32 percent of DM in the lactating cows according to the lactating stages
#Problem_Happened🤔🤔
- Increased starch proportion in diet leads to decrease #Ruminal_pH and later on #SARA developed 🎯
- It can also reduce the #ruminal_fiber digestibility
- It can also cause #milk_fat_depression🪔
- It can also decrease the efficiency of #microbial_protein_syntheis in the rumen
#Find_out_Solutions🗝️🔍🔍
To cope up with its negative effects, the practice should be as follows;
✓ Monitoring forages
✓ TMR particle size (PSU separator)
✓ Sorting Behavior of animals (Managed Well)
✓ Balancing starch ferment-ability, if affected by #grainprocessing (kernel) 👍
✓ Use of #rumen_modifiers as #feedadditives (encourage farmers 👏)
" the usage of modifiers not only help to optimize #fiberdigestion but they can also increase the efficiency of rumen microbes 🦠 to utilize nutrients (MCP) more efficiently and has lesser environment impacts " ☁️🌡️
#Note: Using starch is not a bad option to enhance production but take a look at the problems that could happen with a high concentration of starch.
" In many dairy rations , the cereals are the main energy sources so cautions must be there while using the grains " 🌾🌽
