Temperate Starch for Profitable Ruminant Industry: A Postmodern Compulsion

Abstract

Akbar Nikkhah

This article addresses a global compulsion on moderated starch nutrition to help optimize rumen fermentation, splanchnic metabolism, peripheral nutrient efficiency, animal health and economics, and environmental sustainability. The mistaken trends in increasing starch inclusion from cereals in modern ruminant diets are to be ceased. The sustainability of the postmodern ruminant industry lies in moderated optimized starch utilization.
