Vistacell Vistacell is a live yeast product (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that improves performance, productivity and efficiency when fed to dairy and beef cattle. It has been developed specifically to maximize rumen efficiency and boost animal performance while helping to reduce problems such as acidosis. Adding Vistacell to the ration helps increase the pH of the rumen which in turn reduces the number of microbes that produce lactic acid and increases the fibre-digesting microbes that use lactic acid. The overall effect is improved fibre digestion and dry matter intake, resulting in greater productivity.


Acid Buf Acid Buf is a rumen buffer produced from calcareous marine algae. Highly effective, it stabilizes pH at an optimum level over long periods.


Acid Buf improves rumen efficiency by: Preventing sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) Maintaining optimum rumen pH (5.8 – 6.2) Optimising milk yield

wall becomes irritated, starts disintegrating and can’t absorb nutrients properly. This means the animal has to divert energy away from growing towards repairing the gut wall. Live yeast, such as Yea-Sacc®


, creates a more stable rumen


environment by removing oxygen and utilising sugar. It also stimulates the bugs that use up the lactic acid. So, in these more neutral conditions, the fibre digesting bugs can flourish, increasing the rate of forage breakdown. This promotes a healthier rumen lining, one that is capable of absorbing nutrients and improving growth rates. If you get a chance, this can be clearly seen in the greater number, and better development, of the villi on the stomach lining of an animal fed yeast. As raw materials become more expensive due to demand, from


countries such as China, optimum rumen health will be vital to make the most of precious resources. Many on farm trials have proved that including live yeast in the diet delivers a healthier rumen and subsequently a more productive animal. www.alltech.com


AZELIS Azelis is the UK and Ireland distributor for the Phytobiotics GmbH range of speciality feed additives, including the pre- eminent Sangrovit® Sangrovit®


family of performance enhancing products. products are natural, plant-derived and standardised


for the active alkaloid components – which can be qualitatively and quantitatively analysed, ensuring full traceability through the feed manufacturing process. Especially proven for pig, poultry and cattle applications, Sangrovit®


can also be used for sheep, rabbit, horse


ALLTECH There are many enemies to a healthy rumen. Oxygen for example, although low in quantity, is toxic to rumen microflora. Starch and sugar can create a poor environment for rumen microflora. Also if the rumen isn’t healthy from, for example feeding warm mouldy silage, the gut
