Description
Rahimi and co-authors feed dairy cows a sugar beet by-product in a 2026 study. Beet vinasse is rich in nitrogen, potassium, and compounds that feed gut microbes. The team asked whether adding it to feed lifts cow performance and cuts waste at once.
Twenty-four Holstein cows in early lactation got no vinasse, a low dose, or a high dose for a month after a short adjustment. Feed intake stayed flat, but feed efficiency and milk yield rose with dose. Fat-corrected milk and yields of fat, protein, and lactose also rose. Milk fat peaked at the middle dose. Blood measures and rumen fermentation were tracked as well.
