Phytogenics in ruminant feed

Poor feed e­fficiency due to multiple energy and protein losses is one of the biggest challenges in ruminant production. Did you know that in dairy cows less than a third of the protein and energy intake is converted into milk, in beef cattle even less than a tenth into meat? In addition to high feed efficiency in dairy cows and beef cattle, it is of utmost importance to maintain healthy digestive and respiratory functions in calves to receive best performance right from the start.

A key strategy to increase the profitability of ruminant production is to positively influence the metabolism of dairy cows and beef cattle via feed intake and to maintain normal calf health. High-quality phytogenic feed additives in ruminant feed are a valuable tool to increase feed intake and nutrient utilization, thus improving feed efficiency while reducing emissions of noxious greenhouse gases. Therefore, not only animals and producers benefit from safe and natural additives in ruminant feed, but phytogenics also have a positive impact on the environment.

Our phytogenic additives ensure safe, effective and sustainable milk and meat production without leaving residues. Moreover, our Performizer® concept helps to ensure a high performance and maximized profitability of dairy and beef cattle farming. Thus, depending on the individual goals of our customers, producers can decide whether they want to maximize animal performance when adding our products to existing rations or maintain their performance level while reducing feed costs.
