When Nutrition Meets Veterinary Medicine: A Better Way to Feed Cattle w/ Dr. Monty Kerley

This episode of the Ahead of the Herd Podcast explores a different way of thinking about livestock nutrition. The conversation covers the importance of veterinarians and nutritionists working together as one team, the role of individual feed intake patterns, oxidative stress, and how nutrition can influence overall herd performance. Veterinarian & Profectus CEO Dr. Brian Dorcey, Sr. Ruminant Nutritionist Dr. Monty Kerley, and Phil Lawler, of PDT Consultants, discuss why balancing diets for amino acids—instead of simply crude protein—can improve feed efficiency, increase carcass weight, reduce cost of gain, and support healthier cattle. Whether you're a cow/calf operation, backgrounding calves or finishing cattle, this episode offers practical insights into maximizing profitability through precision nutrition and by having a cohesive Veterinary & Nutrition team.
