Fermenten - Rev Up The Rumen

Fermenten provides the building blocks needed for rapid and optimal bacterial protein production. In developing heifers this boosts feed conversion, helping animals realize volumetric growth potential faster, reach puberty and breeding size earlier, and join the milking herd younger.

What is Fermenten?

A Unique source of degradable protein
Contains High levels of peptides and nucleotides
Increases bacterial protein yield
Increases Metabolisable protein production
Enhances the efficiency of rumen fermentation
Allows faster and more efficient growth

The unique nature of Fermenten’s protein fractions, in the form of peptides and nucleotides that are 70% acid soluble, unlike most traditional protein sources which are only water soluble, allowing a much greater time exposure for the rumen bacteria to utilise these readily accessible protein fractions.

The result is a total increase in rumen bacterial yield and leads to:

Increase rumen protein digestion by 37%
Boost bacterial protein by 15.7%
Increase organic matter digestion by 10%
Increase microbial efficiency by 24.3%
Increase in microbial nitrogen of 28.8%
All without increasing VFA production

Fermenten increases the metabolisable protein (MP) yield from the rumen through improved bacterial protein synthesis. MP is the protein that heifers use for growth.

MP is supplied either through the fermentation process in the rumen creating bacterial protein or the feeding of RUP (rumen un-degradable protein). The benefit of bacterial protein is that it has the ideal amino acid profile for the heifer to use to maximum efficiency.

As Fermenten improves microbial function in the rumen increasing the bacterial yield this results in improve energy utilisation in the rumen as well so that there is an increased level of MP leaving the rumen but a reduced level of ME leaving which results in lean frame growth.

Fermenten will give you

Optimal skeletal & muscular development in heifers without over fattening
Larger heifers at a younger age results in the potential for earlier breeding
Heifers will devote more energy to productivity and profitability
Heifers that are a greater percentage of their mature size at calving will express a greater percentage of their mature lactation or
Smaller heifers will catch up through compensatory growth and continue to grow to genetic potential
Improved release of desirable nutrients for optimum utilisation by rumen bacteria
Improves feed efficiency thereby improving conversion rate to lean growth
Impoved rumen microbial efficiency and enhances rumen function
Increased dry matter intake for age and weight further enhancing grow

Heifers fed Fermenten for the first 10months of life exceeded the Holstein standard growth curve from Hoffman, Wisconsin.

Heifers fed Fermenten

Breed 2 months earlier
Calve earlier
Milk earlier
Exhibited Improved Lifetime performance Peak faster
Lose less weight in lactation
Persist better
Breed back faster
Are less expensive to grow due to 2 months less of rearing costs and earlier revenue generation
Are larger at calving and can devote more energy to milk production rather than growth during first lactation
Contribute to herd profitability earlier in life
Reach Volumetric capacity faster without over conditioning
Reach puberty and breeding size earlier
