Dairy Cattle
Brazilian dairy production has continued to improve productivity, driven by herds that are increasingly efficient and nutritionally demanding. In high-producing dairy cow operations, providing high-efficiency feed is critical to sustaining performance, maintaining herd health, and ensuring overall profitability.
The challenge lies not merely in increasing total protein levels, but in maximizing protein effectiveness. Balancing protein fractions—specifically supplying higher levels of rumen-undegradable protein (RUP or bypass protein)—is essential for consistently converting nutrients into milk.
As herd genetics evolve, nutrition must become increasingly precise. Modern dairy cows require protein sources that deliver high metabolic efficiency, sustain peak milk yields, and optimize overall nutrient utilization.
In this scenario, FS Essencial is a strategic protein source for high-performing dairy cattle.
Efficient protein for high-yielding dairy cows
For high-producing cows, balancing rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) is critical to driving herd performance and farm profitability.
FS Essencial delivers a high content of rumen-undegradable protein—approximately 63% of total crude protein—with intestinal digestibility reaching 57%. In practical terms, this translates into a greater supply of absorbable amino acids, enhancing overall protein efficiency and sustaining milk yield response. It is a targeted protein source engineered specifically to meet the requirements of high-yielding dairy cows and the demand for greater milk production efficiency.
Benefits for dairy cattle
- Strategic source of bypass protein for high-yielding dairy cows
- Higher availability of amino acids for intestinal absorption, highlighted by high levels of methionine and leucine
- Contributes to greater production consistency
- Flexible formulation, allowing for a partial or complete replacement of traditional protein ingredients, such as soybean meal or bypass soy
- Competitive protein cost-per-unit ratio
- Low starch content
- Contributes to higher milk and milk protein production, as supported by studies presented in the technical guide
Recommended use
Recommended inclusion levels vary according to diet formulation, stage of lactation, milk yield, and specific nutritional strategy. Proper technical formulation and ration adjustment are critical to maximizing performance results.
Logistics tailored to the producer’s daily operational routine.
For dairy operations, reliable supply delivery is essential to preserving feed consistency. FS operates year-round, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and continuous supply security.
Through our proprietary logistics infrastructure and strategic distribution hubs, including the Paraná Warehouse in Santa Tereza do Oeste, we ensure agility and operational flexibility in serving customers across Brazil. FS Essencial can be supplied in bulk or partial shipments, accommodating operations from smallholder farms to large-scale intensive production models.
The entire process is supported by specialized technical assistance from order placement through delivery, reinforcing FS’s commitment to the efficient utilization of feed ingredients.
