Advertorial – Lallemand Animal Nutrition
Throughout their full life cycle, ruminants face multiple stressors and challenges. A precise nutritional approach and effective environmental management strategy can optimize rumen efficiency and help maintain ruminant health. There are multiple ways to achieve these goals and partnering with the farm’s microbial ecosystem is an innovative approach.
Lallemand Animal Nutrition, a global leader in the science of fermentation and a primary producer of yeast and bacteria, is providing such innovations. Our passion is harnessing microorganisms to improve performance and maintain animal health, optimize forage management and the microbial environment.
INTEGRATED FARM SYSTEM WITH MICROBIAL SOLUTIONS ENHANCES MILK PRODUCTION
This microbial ecosystem starts with the cow’s environment. Using microbial solutions, like MANURE PRO, a water-dispersible powder with live bacteria and enzymes, can promote the development of these beneficial microorganisms in the bedding. Other applications involve direct application on the hooves of animals, helping to maintain an optimal hoof microbial environment which can help to subsequently reduce overall lameness scores in cows.
Forage is also a complex microbial ecosystem. Inoculating the forage with specific bacteria and enzymes can help producers manage silage quality and feed costs. Some inoculant strains, such as those found in the MAGNIVA range, are proven to help reduce losses and preserve key nutrients in the forage.
A specific microbial ecosystem exists in the rumen, supporting fermentation and nutrient extraction. Here, microbial solutions such as LEVUCELL SC, a rumen-specific live yeast, can balance microbiota, reduce lactic-acid producing bacteria and increase the fibrolytic population. With the rumen-specific live yeast LEVUCELL SC, dairy cows can produce up to 6% more milk with the same amount of feed, even under challenging conditions such as heat stress or during the transition period.
In the feed, prebiotics and postbiotics’ microbial solutions can also be used for their toxin-binding activities, as seen with the Mannans Oligo Sacharrides (MOS) contained in AGRIMOS, or to activate specific immunity patterns at lower gut levels in young ruminants or adults. For example, YANG, an innovative combination of synergistic inactivated yeast fractions, when included in the milk replacer can maintain animal health, reduce morbidity leading to a global increase in average daily gain.
A LONG LEGACY OF YEAST AND BACTERIA APPLICATIONS
