ALLTECH Optigen®
is Alltech’s non-
protein nitrogen (NPN) source to replace traditional vegetable protein sources for ruminants. It concentrates the nitrogen fraction of the diet, creating dry matter space for more fibre and energy. Optigen is a technology that enables feed formulation of rumen-friendly diets to meet the needs of the rumen microbial population more effectively, resulting in increased microbial protein, fibre digestion and efficiency of rumen nitrogen capture. This technology helps to stabilise rumen ammonia levels, ensuring that rumen bacteria have continued access to this essential food source Rumen-friendly diets are the goal for all feed formulators. Diets
designed to promote rumen efficiency ensure the greatest profit without compromising cow health.
Optigen displays a
sustained ammonia release in the rumen over time in
contrast to other sources, such as straight feed urea, that often represent an inadequate, wasteful and potentially risky nitrogen source. The concentrated nature of Optigen’s nitrogen source allows for the replacement of bulky vegetable protein, thereby creating space for the
inclusion of additional homegrown forages, which are often less costly and more rumen-friendly. European Bioscience Centre, Sarney, Summerhill Road, Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland

BIOCHEM TechnoYeast®
- a multifunctional protein source to give young
animals a head start For many animals, early life is the most difficult phase. The immune system and intestinal physiology are not yet fully developed and changes in feed are a burden that often leads to less feed intake. All this increases the susceptibility to diseases, reductions in growth and intestinal development. To survive these stressful phases and prevent disease, young animals need highly- available sources of protein along with functional feed components for a healthy intestinal microbiota. For more than 30 years, the German company Biochem has
provided solutions for efficient animal nutrition. During the last 3 years, Biochem intensively investigated the application of a functional protein source, named TechnoYeast®
strain Kluyveromyces fragilis. TechnoYeast®
. It is a hydrolyzed yeast based on the is produced by a gentle
process in which all nutrients are released and made more available for high digestibility. TechnoYeast®
contains both components of the yeast
cell wall – mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and β-glucans – along with the constituents of the yeast extract: highly digestible proteins, essential and functional amino acids such as the umami-tasting glutamic acid, nucleic acids as a source of nucleotides, and minerals. The digestibility of hydrolyzed yeast is comparable to animal protein sources. Derived from the functional amino acids and certain components
of the nucleic acid, the umami taste improves the palatability of the feed and improves feed intake. The highly-digestible proteins and nucleic acids support healthy growth. Recent research studies with TechnoYeast®
fed to piglets showed a significant increase in average
daily feed intake and weight gain, comparable or even better effects than when compared with blood plasma-fed piglets. Moreover, the MOS inside TechnoYeast®
as E. coli and salmonella, significantly reducing the potential risk of disease in young animals.
