Beef Cattle Health



  • The Key to Cattle Health

    The cattle industry (and the ruminant industry as a whole) is the main source of meat products for human consumption globally. Small and large farms face many of the same challenges regarding livestock nutrition, animal health, feed costs and environmental concerns.

    The production of safe beef products in a healthy and efficient manner is essential to both farmer and consumer. Legislation and registration restrictions are continuing to impose increased pressure on the industry. Research into all aspects of livestock feeding and management has been on the increase in the last quarter of a century and Alltech has been at the forefront, funding projects and research to investigate natural solutions to global issues.

    Alltech, with years of research and animal health knowledge, provides natural feed supplements that are effective, efficient and safe for the ruminant nutrition industry.

  • Successful Cattle Production through Nutrition

    As production levels continue to rise throughout the world, the need for top quality feed ingredients is more important than ever. It is essential that the animal can derive the maximum amount of the correct nutrients, in the right balance, to ensure production levels are maintained. Furthermore, the form in which the nutrients are supplied can have a large impact on availability, absorption and utilization within the body.

  • Helping Farmers Produce More Nutritious Beef

    Food safety scares have been common in recent years, particularly from the animal sector. Consumer fears regarding contamination of food with toxins and artificial additives have never been greater. Increasing production safety through the use of natural additives that consumers regard as safe, that also increase the nutritional benefit of everyday foods, improve animal performance and allow for improved margins for the producer is not a far-fetched idea but rather the modern day solution.

  • Maintaining Rumen Health

    A stable rumen is vital for digestion and nutrient uptake, ensuring the flow of feed and forage through the rumen for maximum production. As production increases, more concentrates are often used in the diet. Concentrate feeds are known to increase the production of lactic acid in the rumen, causing rumen upset and acidosis in extreme cases. Feeding specific strains of live yeast culture has been proven to stimulate lactic acid-utilizing bacteria, thereby maintaining pH balance and minimizing acidity. A stable rumen will produce more meat and more profits.
