A computer-based system for characterizing in real time the nutritional components of one of more ingredients for a ruminant feed ration, including dry matter, NDF, NDFd, lignified NDF ratio, peNDF, percent starch, IVSD, and particle size for a forage material; and IVSD and particle size for a grain material. The system utilizes proprietary NIRS equations based upon prior samplings of a variety of crop species like dual-purpose corn silage, leafy corn silage, brown midrib (“BMR”) corn silage, grass (silage/dry), alfalfa (silage/dry), BMR forage sorghum, normal dent starch grain, floury endosperm starch grain, vitreous endosperm grain, and steam-flaked corn grain, and applies those equations to current samplings of a corresponding crop to predict in real time the characteristics of such forage or grain material. The real-time characterization system may also utilize the predicted data to calculate a “total ration fermentation index” value that takes into account the total NDFd and IVSD characteristics (including RAS and RBS) of the forage and starch ingredients to be used in a feed ration to ensure that the ration will not contribute too much or too little digestibility to the cow. A “flash fermentation index” identifies feed formulations, based upon the real-time characterizations of the ingredients, that are too “hot” to feed to the cows without incurring the risk of lost production and adverse health issues.

A method of feeding a ruminant that entails providing a feed that comprises sugar alcohol and at least one additional feed component, where the feed is free of rumen-protected fatty acid or comprises less than 10 weight percent rumen-protected fatty acid, based on the total weight of the feed and further entails orally supplying the feed to the ruminant during a pre-partum period when the ruminant is pregnant, where the ruminant ingests the feed and sugar alcohol during the pre-partum period.

Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are structurally related to the pepsins, thought to be restricted to the hoofed (ungulate) mammals and characterized by being expressed specifically in the outer epithelial cell layer (chorion/trophectoderm) of the placenta. By cloning expressed genes from ovine and bovine placental cDNA libraries, the inventors estimate that cattle, sheep, and most probably all ruminant Artiodactyla, possess possibly 100 or more PAG genes, many of which are placentally expressed. The PAGs are highly diverse in sequence, with regions of hypervariability confined largely to surface-exposed loops. Selected PAG that are products of the i0nvasive binucleate cells, expressed highly in early pregnancy at the time of trophoblast invasion and expressed weakly, if at all, in late gestation are useful in the early diagnosis of pregnancy. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to immunoassays for detecting these PAGs.
