Summary

A systematic literature review was conducted to analyse the response to vitamin E supplementation, considering the animal’s life stage and the composition of the basal diet.
Based on that, RELACS was able to update the vitamin E supplementation recommendations for organic dairy cows.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
What problem does the tool address?:	Vitamin E is essential, and supplementation to the diet is often needed to meet the requirements of cows. Current supplementation recommendations may be overestimated in forage-based systems where grazing or grass-clover silages are the basal diet, with low to moderate levels of concentrate feed.
What solution does the tool offer?:	An update of the requirements and recommendations for vitamin E in organic dairy milk production is needed to explore the potential of reducing the supplementation level of vitamin E, thus reducing feed costs while ensuring animal health and welfare.
