According to research from Westway Feed Products, liquid feed supplements are a proven tool that enhances rumen function, supports animal performance, and improves cost efficiency. However, as with any nutritional strategy, it is critical for cattle producers to assess if liquid feed for cattle is worth it for their specific operation and goals. This comprehensive analysis delves into the economic viability, nutritional benefits, and practical considerations of using liquid feed supplements.

Over two-thirds of the phosphorus in plant-based feed ingredients is in the form of phytate, which is largely indigestible for monogastric animals like poultry and pigs. This creates a significant nutritional gap, explaining why feed dicalcium phosphate is a critical supplement for ensuring a balanced diet for these and other farm animals.
