Abstract

This article addresses issues related to the quality and safety of feed and additives used in the feeding of cattle. The indicators characterizing the quality of feed - dry matter, energy, crude protein, digestible protein in the intestine, balance of protein in the rumen, calcium, phosphorus and raw fiber are described. Questions related to the requirements of dairy cows on their need for nutrients and levels of certain undesirable substances in feed (chemical, microbiological and physical) are reported. Legal norms and regulations concerning the quality and safety of food are considered and the influence of some genetically modified plants used as food for cattle are viewed.
