Is Milk Fat Depression Hiding in Plain Sight? 

As an industry that relies more and more on components for profitability, milk fat yield can be the difference between a struggling or thriving dairy operation.  

Milk fat depression is a reality for every working dairy farm. Unfortunately, there is no one thing farmers and nutritionists can do to avoid milk fat depression but a better understanding of the mechanism in play – in the cow herself, in her environment, and in her nutrition – can help guide decisions aimed at overall operational success. 

In this webinar, Hannah Tucker, Ph.D., PAS, NOVUS Ruminant Technical Services Manager for North America and lactation physiology expert, will share: 

• Natural changes in a dairy cow’s lactation period that affect milk fat 

• Milk fat cells and milk fat categories 

• Diet-induced milk fat depression 

• Non-nutritional factors/management practices that impact milk fat 

• Options for reducing the risk of milk fat depression
