A study conducted by Aline Cruz, a graduate of the State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB), explores the use of palm kernel cake as an alternative nutrition source for dairy cows, with a focus on reducing production costs while improving sustainability. This co-product, derived from the processing of palm oil, is shown to have significant nutritional benefits, including high protein content and lower environmental impact compared to traditional feeds like corn and soybean meal. The research suggests that including 10% to 12% of palm kernel cake in the diet of medium production cows can be as effective as a diet composed only of corn and soybeans, and can help decrease the environmental footprint by reducing the disposal of oil palm co-products. This finding highlights the potential for sustainable practices in the dairy industry by introducing alternative feed sources and promoting the efficient use of agricultural by-products.

Cow's milk is a product that cannot be missing from the Brazilian table. In addition to being much appreciated with coffee, forming a perfect pair, this product is used in various culinary recipes and serves as raw material for a variety of products. Thus, the dairy sector represents an important part of the Brazilian economy. The viability and sustainability of dairy farming are directly related to the feeding of dairy cows. Therefore, the sector is looking for alternatives to by-products from agro-industries, with nutritional potential to replace conventional cereals, such as ground corn and soybean meal – the main sources of energy and protein for these animals. It was with this in mind that Aline Cruz, a graduate of the Postgraduate Program in Animal Science (PPZ) at the State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB), carried out her thesis on alternative nutrition for dairy cows, entitled “Palm pie in the feeding of cows”. confined infants”. The alternative – The palm kernel cake ...
