Webinar October 29th: practical strategies to improve TMR digestibility

Adisseo invites you on Thursday 29th October to a free webinar where you will learn how to make the most of what you have thanks to practical strategies to improve TMR digestibility. This presentation will examine the key factors affecting fiber digestion in the rumen and demonstrate how maximizing the nutritional value of forages can improve animal performance, feed efficiency, and farm profitability. The session will also highlight the latest insights into forage quality, rumen function, and the interactions between fiber characteristics and nutrient availability. Practical strategies for improving forage utilization, optimizing TMR formulation, and reducing feed waste will be discussed. Participants will receive actionable recommendations and on-farm solutions that nutritionists and dairy producers can implement to improve herd efficiency and unlock greater value from forage resources.
