Ottawa – The Expert Working Group on Feed Supplementation published its report and recommendations. Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) supports the conclusion of the report.

“I want to express my gratitude to the expert working group under the chairmanship of Dr. Daniel Lefebvre. Its report sheds light into the knowledge gaps related to the consistency of butter and animal feed supplements containing palm by-products,” said Pierre Lampron, president of DFC.

Dairy Farmers of Canada will invest in further research to address the remaining questions identified in this report.
