In this episode we discuss the hidden costs of binders in dairy cow rations with Caroline Knoblock, Director of Nutrition. We explore how binders, while effective against Aflatoxin, can inadvertently bind essential nutrients like amino acids and vitamins—costing an additional 4-6 cents per cow per day. Discover why some experts believe this cost could be even higher. 

With a Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Michigan State and a Master’s in Dairy Science from the University of Alberta, Caroline brings a wealth of knowledge, particularly in transition dairy cow management and nutrition. Her experience spans roles in nutrition consulting, regional business management, and working with premix suppliers, all grounded in her practical upbringing in the dairy industry. 

Tune in as we explore when to use binders, their limitations, and a biological solution for mycotoxin mitigation that preserves nutrient integrity.
