High-yielding dairy cows need one thing above all: sufficient energy. As their feed intake is limited, rumen-stable fat powders are an important component of the feed ration in order to provide the cows with the maximum amount of energy.

Dr Michael Hovenjürgen from BEWITAL agri, a DVT member company (Deutscher Verband Tiernahrung), explains in “FutterFragen” how rumen-stable fat powders (BEWI-SPRAY®) are produced in the family-run compound feed company from Münsterland (Germany). He also explains their possible uses and the advantages in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
