In this episode, Native Microbials is joined by three customers – Mal Machado, Jason Nunes and Gerrit Rouloffs – to discuss the importance of rumen health and their experiences with bird flu. The conversation addresses what we currently know about the virus and how improved cow health can help mitigate its impact on milking herds.

While it’s known that improving a cow’s genetics can improve animal productivity, recent research shows that rumen genetics can be a more effective predictor of cow traits, including health and productivity. Cornell Kasbergen of Rancho Teresita Dairy and Brooke Anderson of Native Microbials discuss how feeding native rumen microbes are impacting a commercial dairy herd.
