Poultry World: Optimising layer performance and designing functional eggs with selenium yeast

Submitted by jnorrie on Wed, 09/20/2023 - 10:23

Selenium has been recognised as an essential trace mineral for all animals, with the functions of maintaining growth performance, redox potential, reproduction, antioxidants and immunomodulation to name but a few. Since most feed ingredients are selenium deficient, additional supplementation in feed formulation is usually necessary.

International Hatchery Practice: Understanding mycotoxin risk and the impact on egg and chick quality

Submitted by jnorrie on Wed, 09/13/2023 - 12:00

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi that can be found in feedstuffs such as cereal grains and their byproducts. Mycotoxins can occur prior to harvest as well as after harvest, during transport and during storage.

International Dairy Topics: Unleashing the power of precision nutrition for dairy cows

Submitted by jnorrie on Wed, 09/13/2023 - 11:58

The dairy industry is facing a complex challenge to keep up efficiency in producing dairy products while protecting profitability, assuring the commitment to work together to collectively reduce methane emissions, meeting animal welfare requirements, and constantly adapt to new regulations and laws.

Feedstuffs: Why inorganic minerals aren’t working for you?

Submitted by jnorrie on Fri, 08/25/2023 - 12:03

When it comes to trace minerals, poultry producers have a variety of options. Trace minerals can be offered in the form of inorganic mineral salts, such as carbonates, sulfates and oxides. Alternatively, they can be offered as mineral salts bound to organic ligands, such as proteins or individual amino acids; these types of minerals are referred to as organic minerals.

Dairy Global: Enzymes for enhanced rumen fermentation

Submitted by jnorrie on Fri, 08/18/2023 - 16:40

With constant changes in feed and ingredient prices, as well as the fact that feed costs typically represent the largest input costs, on-farm profitability often depends strongly on how well the dairy herd is converting feed to milk. To maximise feed efficiency, we must improve overall digestibility and nutrient utilisation.

MICROBUILD™

Submitted by sburke on Mon, 07/31/2023 - 16:54

An effective solution for the gut health of dogs and cats


Microbuild is an innovative prebiotic that nurtures the gut health and overall well-being of pets. Even during bacterial challenges, Microbuild works to increase microbial diversity in the gut, boosting the animal’s natural defenses.

Features of Microbuild

  • Grain free formula
  • Supported by non-GMO letter
  • A functional ingredient for pet food, treats, and supplements

Inclusion rate: 0.4–1.6 lb./ton for all classes of pets

Better stool quality for better pet health

Proper functioning of the intestine in pets is a key factor in health and longevity. Microbuild harnesses the power of prebiotics, specialized fibers that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. These fibers help the animal maintain its intestinal integrity and develop a healthy immune system.

Microbuild is based on the leading-edge science of nutrigenomics, which studies the unique relationship between genetics and nutrition. Its specific yeast strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been specifically selected and isolated by Alltech scientists for maximum efficacy in promoting intestinal health.

Pig Progress: Sustainability on the menu at a one-off road show

Submitted by jnorrie on Fri, 07/14/2023 - 09:56

More than ever, sustainability is the main theme on which global events like to focus. In a world post-Covid-19, most players in global agriculture appear very conscious of themes like environmental pressure, climate change and agriculture’s licence to produce. The 2023 Alltech One conference, held in Dublin, Ireland on June 19 and 20, was no exception.

Yea-Sacc® 1026 BAC

Submitted by tcobb on Wed, 07/12/2023 - 15:05

A cost-effective solution to improve rumen efficiency and enhance gut health


Yea-Sacc® 1026 BAC provides continual support to the entire GI tract, conditioning the rumen for optimal efficiency and protecting against the growth of undesirable organisms. Yea-Sacc® 1026 BAC combines the proven rumen modifier Yea-Sacc® 1026 with the combined powers of Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis to optimize total gut health and efficiency.

Benefits of Yea-Sacc® 1026 BAC:

  • Increases milk production
  • Stabilize rumen pH
  • Improves defense against undesirable organisms
  • Increase ruminal nutrient digestion

Combination of two technologies working together to boost efficiency

A healthy intestinal tract, including a high-functioning rumen, is critical for dairy operations to take advantage of the benefits of good management and feeding programs. To keep your herd performing at the highest level, you must maintain the right amounts of beneficial bacteria in both the rumen and lower digestive tract.

 


    Leveraging the unique benefits of Yea-Sacc® 1026

    Different strains of yeast have different metabolic activity. The yeast strain specifically selected for Yea-Sacc® 1026 was chosen specifically for its ability to increase both total viable and cellulolytic bacteria. This makes Yea-Sacc® 1026 ideal for conditioning the rumen to be more effective in nutrient digestion while maintaining a consistent pH.


    Impact of Yea-Sacc® 1026 compared to other yeast strains (Newbold et al.)


    Optimizing the entire intestinal tract with the inclusion of beneficial Bacilli

    Bacillus can combat undesirable organisms linked to potentially deadly issues such as hemorrhagic bowl syndrome, abdominal distension, and mastitis. Specifically, bacillus has been proven to target Clostridium perfringens by producing organic acids that inhibit the growth of this bacteria. Making it an ideal combination with Yea-Sacc® 1026 for optimal GI track support.
