Whey as a Feed Ingredient for Lactating Cattle

Temperature-Phased Conversion of Acid Whey Waste Into Medium-Chain Carboxylic Acids via Lactic Acid: No External e-Donor

“…2 Use as a feed additive has been limited by problems of lactose fermentation in rumen. 4 In addition, the acid-whey supply is relatively large compared with the demand. When local wastewater treatment has insufficient capacity, the excess supply must be transported long distances to deliver the acid whey to farms, where it is used for low-value applications such as land application and anaerobic digestion.…”

Consumption, apparent digestibility and nutrient balance of diets with bovine milk whey for goats

“…Thus, the moist concentrate may have facilitated feed intake as reflected by the shorter time it took for animals to ingest concentrates containing whey. El-Shewy (2016) observed that whey can improve feed palatability, texture, dust control of feedlot rations. Further, it can balance nutrition of energy, protein and minerals, and a safety factor to compensate for poor or variable quality diets.…”

Effect of Protecting Proteins From Degradation in the Rumen on Average Daily Gain and Total Gain of Al Awassi Lambs

“…Whey was considered a non-conventional, fast degradable protein source, it is a byproduct of cheese making process of milk, containing 7% solid materials consisting of 4.9% lactose, 0.6% ash, low amounts of fat acid and protein (15-20%) and most whey is eliminated as a neglected product, so the challenge for nutritionists is to find the best way to benefit from it (El-shewy, 2016). In the low-protein feed, substituting the urea substitutes for improved urea performance compared with the soybean meal with urea, which resulted in less improvement in animal performance.…”
