INDUSTRY’S RESPONSE TO THE EXPERT WORKING GROUP ON FEED SUPPLEMENTATION FINAL REPORT

Ottawa – The Expert Working Group on Feed Supplementation published its report and recommendations. Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) supports the conclusion of the report.

“I want to express my gratitude to the expert working group under the chairmanship of Dr. Daniel Lefebvre. Its report sheds light into the knowledge gaps related to the consistency of butter and animal feed supplements containing palm by-products,” said Pierre Lampron, president of DFC.

Dairy Farmers of Canada will invest in further research to address the remaining questions identified in this report.

“I have asked Dr. Lefebvre to continue to work with the industry experts in an advisory capacity to help support the design of such future research," added Pierre Lampron.

“In terms of energy value of soybean meal on a dry matter basis, 95% is fairly common, however, we're seeing some corporate movement where companies have tested this for themselves, and they're moving up to 100%-110% of corn on a dry matter basis.” Dr. Aaron Gaines, PhD, Ani-Tek, LLC
