The study found that tailored nutritional management significantly impacts milk production, metabolic status, and body condition in dairy cows, with specific genotypes responding differently to nutritional strategies. Additionally, increasing the amount of energetic-protein supplements in post-weaning phases improved metabolic profiles and ovarian activity in heifers. Integrating crop and livestock systems and using co-product feeds were identified as effective strategies to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of livestock production. Furthermore, leveraging genetic selection and advanced nutritional management practices can significantly improve feed efficiency and reduce environmental impacts in beef production systems. The findings suggest that optimizing nutritional strategies tailored to specific animal needs and integrating advanced genetic and management practices can significantly enhance energy metabolism, productivity, and sustainability in agricultural production. These strategies not only improve animal health and productivity but also contribute to more sustainable and efficient agricultural systems.
