Some media reports have implied poultry litter as a potential cause for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus spread in US dairy cattle, but it's unlikely the illness originated from animal feed, says AAFCO.
The product, developed by University of Alberta, is 'the first of its kind' to have widespread benefits for cows, such as reducing inflammation that causes lameness and preventing reproductive health issues.
A report into the welfare of cull dairy cows has uncovered ‘systemic issues’ in enforcement and a need for a multi-stake approach to improving Canada’s slaughter system.
