Phytogenics in ruminant feed

Poor feed e­fficiency is one of the predominant challenges for beef and dairy producers. Did you know that less than a third of a dairy cow's protein and energy intake is converted into milk?  And less than a tenth of the protein and energy intake of a beef cow is converted into meat?  

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. High-quality phytogenic additives for ruminants are a valuable tool to encourage feed intake and enhance nutrient utilization, which improves feed efficiency.  In addition, phytogenic feed additives support nitrogen recycling in the animal which reduces ammonia emission.

Studies suggest that our phytogenic additives help ensure safe, effective and sustainable milk and meat production. In addition, the Performizer® concept provides options in capturing the benefits of phytogenics to ensure both high performance for all operations. 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.
