ALLTECH Reducing waste and increasing agri - food sustainabi l i ty with OPTIGEN® Ongoing protein supply and pricing pressures coupled with scaling environmental demands, makes for a complex situation for all U.K. dairy and beef enterprises both now and looking to the future. A vital component in overcoming this challenge, is supplying


modern productive ruminants with optimal levels of ammonia for the rumen to function effectively. Excess ammonia leads to excreted nitrogen waste, whilst a deficit impacts fibre digestion. Optigen®


provides a slow-release consistent source of non-


protein nitrogen (NPN) to the rumen bacteria over time, leading to an increase in microbial protein, an improvement in fibre digestion and a reduction in nitrogen excretion. A recent meta-analysis on Optigen evaluated the results of 17


dairy studies carried out in 6 countries, and 17 beef studies carried out in 9 countries. The research found Optigen to be a viable substitute or supplementation for plant protein sources in ruminant rations.


The proven benefits of Optigen in dairy cows • Reduces soybean meal use by 21% • Improves feed efficiency by 3% • Improves nitrogen use efficiency by 4% • Increases production profitability of a 1,000-dairy herd by £13,035 • Lowers the carbon footprint of a 1,000-dairy herd by 647 tonnes of CO2e


The proven benefits of Optigen in beef cows • Improves both feed efficiency and liveweight gain by 8% • Reduces time to slaughter by 9 days • Increases production profitability of a 1,000-beef herd by £14,146 • Lowers the carbon footprint of a 1,000-beef herd by 111 tonnes of CO2e

AZELIS Azelis has added the Roquette range of plant-based protein products to its Animal Nutrition portfolio. Highly concentrated and digestible potato, pea, wheat and corn proteins can be used as alternatives to or partly replace traditional proteins. TUBERMINE®


GP potato protein provides protein enrichment and


is known for its richness in essential amino acids available in higher amounts than in traditional proteins. The outstanding digestibility is particularly well suited to the young, newly-weaned animal’s high protein requirements and is well recognised as an excellent source of protein for piglet feed. LYSAMINE®


GPS concentrated protein extracted from peas, is a


valued nutritional ingredient in many applications. Its excellent digestibility along with its naturally low antitrypsin activity makes it a protein of choice in the nutrition of young animals particularly piglets. VITEN®


Vital wheat gluten natural protein extracted from wheat, is


a water-insoluble complex protein. Recognized especially for its high glutamic acid content, the plant-


based protein shows exceptional digestibility and can be used in the formulation of high-performance feeds by limiting the risk of non-digested protein in the large intestine. It is a useful alternative protein source which is appreciated in milk substitutes and piglet feed for its excellent digestibility, colour and palatability. GLUTALYS®


corn gluten meal is a highly digestible protein


concentrate rich in sulphur amino acids (methionine cystine). A polyvalent protein source, it offers advantages in formulas for ruminants because of the low natural degradability of the protein fraction in the rumen and its high post ruminal digestibility E-mail Azelis Animal Nutrition at: nutrition@azelis.com or call +44 1928 793090 for further information.


BIOCHEM TechnoYeast®


TechnoYeast®


- Kluyveromyces fragilis for function and flavour is a


hydrolyzed yeast based on the strain Kluyveromyces fragilis, a specific strain of yeast suitable for feeding all species. TechnoYeast®


is produced by a gentle process in which all nutrients are released and made more available for high digestibility,
