YEA-SACC®

 Yea-Sacc is a yeast culture based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 1026, a strain specifically selected for its influence on animal performance.

BIOPLEX®

 Bioplex offers a range of trace minerals that provide mineral nutrition in a form as close to nature as possible.

SEL-PLEX®

 Sel-Plex is supplied in a form that can be readily stored in tissues because of similarities between methionine and selenomethionine that are interchangeable during protein synthesis.

    • MYCOSORB A+®

       Mycosorb A+ is the next generation of mycotoxin binder, offering superior binding capabilities, a broader adsorption profile and increased efficacy.

      OPTIGEN®

       Optigen is Alltech's non-protein nitrogen (NPN) source for ruminants. It concentrates the nitrogen fraction of the diet, creating dry matter space for more fiber and energy.

      OPTISYNC™

       OPTISYNC™ is the next generation OPTIGEN, combining the advantages of controlled non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and nutrients to increase the rate of diet digestion.

Stop Heat Becoming a Stress

Heat stress is not something that we usually associate with our cows in Northern Ireland. However, it is an issue that is becoming increasingly prevalent due to weather extremes and the fact that many cows are now fully housed year-round. ...

Yea-Sacc: good for your herd, your pocket and the environment

Reflecting on the challenges we have faced over the last year, it cannot be emphasised enough how important farmers are in the food supply chain. COVID-19 has highlighted the need for such resilient food systems. Feed production capacity directly correlates to the amount of food available for human consumption and general food security....

BEAT THE DROP: Combatting a drop in butterfat

A decline in butterfat percentages can be common during the spring months, when cows are grazing lush grass that is low in fibre and high in oil and sugars, among other reasons. The Alltech nutrition team focus on four key areas to combat a drop in butterfat, including: nutrition, rumen health, grassland management and genetics....

Aspects contributing to the butterfat depression

It is not uncommon to see a butterfat drop of up to 0.5% over the spring–summer period in grazing dairy cows. This can occur in the absence of significant signs of acidosis and lameness, so, over the last number of years, we have begun to examine the relationship between the cows diet, how it reacts in the rumen and its effect on butterfat...
