Science-driven learning initiative offers complimentary resources to help nutritionists, farmers, advisers and veterinarians connect research with real-world animal welfare and productivity.
Lallemand Animal Nutrition is launching a comprehensive educational program on ruminant digestive welfare as part of Lallemand Animal Nutrition Services, featuring the newly relaunched ruminantdigestivesystem.com in an enhanced interactive format. The program provides nutritionists, farmers, advisers and veterinarians valuable training information on critical topics related to the entire ruminant digestive track and its impact on overall cattle welfare and productivity.
Previously focused on rumen health, the relaunched platform now expands to cover the complete ruminant digestive system. The redesigned website introduces interactive learning resources alongside a forward-thinking educational format. These enhancements ensure nutrition professionals remain at the forefront of ruminant digestive health science through ongoing education and access to innovative technical resources.

“The future of ruminant production lies in sustainable practices that support herd health naturally,” said Laurent Dussert, global category manager for ruminants at Lallemand Animal Nutrition. “We’ve transformed years of research and field expertise into an accessible learning platform that equips professionals with practical strategies to optimize digestive health across the entire tract helping reduce reliance on conventional treatments while maintaining strong animal welfare and performance.”
Key topics covered in this educational program include:
- The biology and interaction between the rumen and lower gut
- How to provide support to dairy calves from newborn through lactation
- Understanding and supporting the ruminant microbiota
- Managing risks including such as leaky gut syndrome and SARA caused by heat stress
- Exploring how bovine respiratory disease (BRD) can affect lower gut health in cattle
- The role of probiotics and microbial-based solutions to help keep a healthy digestive system
- The program blends scientific knowledge with practical application, helping nutrition professionals address the unique challenges facing every stage of ruminant development. This collaborative learning approach enhances both professional expertise and supports improved operation performance.
“This isn’t just about sharing information—it’s about building expertise together. Through this program, we’re creating opportunities for nutritionists, farmers, advisers and veterinarians to deepen their understanding of the complete digestive tract and its impact on herd health,” added Dussert. “When professionals have access to science-backed education and resources, everyone benefits—from the nutritionist to the farmer to the animal.”
Program participants receive regular eNewsletter updates featuring peer-reviewed research summaries, technical updates into digestive health topics and solutions to real-world nutritional challenges.
