This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on dietary
supplements in dairy cattle nutrition. The first chapter addresses
the manipulation of rumen fermentation to maximise the efficiency
of feed utilisation and increase ruminant productivity. It
considers a wide variety of approaches, including the use of
dietary buffers. The second chapter reviews the use of probiotics
as supplements for ruminants to promote digestive efficiency and
productivity. The chapter summarises the benefits and modes of
action of probiotics, as well as their role in optimising feed
efficiency and reducing methane production. The third chapter
considers the beneficial roles of plant secondary compounds in
sustainable ruminant nutrition. It describes the effects and
composition of the three major groups of plant secondary compounds:
essential oils, tannins and saponins. The fourth chapter discusses
the growing need for alternative feed sources as a result of
increasing demand for meat and dairy products. The chapter reviews
the nutritional composition of seaweed and introduces it as a
potential novel protein supplement in animal feeds. The final
chapter evaluates the role of macroalgae as a potential
anti-methanogenic ruminant feed resource and reviews its impact on
animal production and performance.
