Carbohydrates consists of one or more monosaccharides, including glucose, fructose, galactose, fructose, xylose, ribose. The type of glycosidic bond determines how the (complex) carbohydrates are broken down in the intestinal tract, dependent on the species (foregut vs hindgut fermenter). Altogether, carbohydrates are an important source of energy and valuable to understand the dynamics of carbohydrate digestion and metabolism. The following topics will be discussed in this webinar: - Stru...
- Governments are taking steps to make farming more sustainable. Supermarkets and consumers have a decisive role to play, to stimulate the demand for more sustainable products.

In terms of nutritional significance, some amino acids are considered more importance than others depending on the specific stage of the cow’s productive life and the response expected, whether milk production, fertility, or immune response. Although amino acids requirements for specific functions are limited, research on the functional role of amino acids has progressively increased over the past decade as a consequence of the increased interest in improving N utilization in dairy farms.
