Volac - Model RumiBEO - Encapsulated Phytogenic Feed

Ruminal acidosis is a metabolic disease affecting both beef and dairy cattle. It is typically associated with intakes of large amounts of fermentable, carbohydrate rich diets. An animal with mild clinical acidosis will be off their feed and may scour. More severe clinical signs of acidosis include decreased milk production and poor body condition score in dairy cows, and depressed growth rates in affected beef cattle despite adequate nutrition.

Nutritionists are now finding novel ways to mitigate acidosis based on new, in depth understanding of rumen fermentation kinetics. A low rumen pH is simply the product of an acidotic rumen environment. But the biological and chemical steps before the pH drop include alterations in microbial populations and the partitioning of hydrogen resulting from the breakdown of carbohydrates.

RumiBEO is a novel, encapsulated phytogenic feed additive developed to alter rumen fermentation kinetics. It contains a synergistic blend of essential oils, offering anti-microbial properties and prebiotic yeast products, to support the rumen microbial population.

RumiBEO is matrix encapsulated for precision release in the rumen. In vitro trial work has shown RumiBEO redirects hydrogen to the volatile fatty acid (VFA) pool by reducing lactate production and increasing propionic acid production.

RumiBEO has been shown to support animal performance and production.
