Ruminants

The need to guarantee ruminant absorption of a correct amount of nutrients in the intestine cannot disregard the degradation by the rumen microflora. For over 40 years our scientific research has set the goal to improve the rumen bypass so that a lower concentration of active ingredients in the diet leads to maximizing performance.

Microtinic®AD3E

Microtinic®AD3E is a balanced supplement of rumen-protected microencapsulated Vitamin A, D3, E for dairy cows and ruminants.

RUMEN BY-PASS

Liposoluble vitamins in Microtinic®AD3E are microencapsulated in a lipid matrix in order to by-pass the rumen and be highly available at the intestinal level.

Liposoluble vitamins can be destroyed by the activity of rumen microflora.

Once in the intestine, lipases start to digest the lipid matrix, releasing the liposoluble vitamins and making them available for the absorption. Vetagro’s technology assures that the nutrients are absorbed in the intestinal tract due to the tailored particle size.

    Rumen-protected methionine: a boost for primiparous dairy cows performance

    Methionine is considered the most limiting essential amino acid for ruminants (Schwab & Broderick, 2017). This element has a pivotal role in their productive performance and nitrogen efficiency.

    Organic acid and plant botanical supplementation in heat-stressed Holstein calves

    Our findings in Holstein calves are early evidence that dietary microencapsulated OA/PB feeding is a means to partially restore feed intake and average daily gain post-weaning when challenged by heat exposure.

    Effects of heat stress and dietary organic acids and botanicals on hepatic one-carbon metabolism

    Heat stress develops with methyl donor deficiency in parallel with an impaired N metabolism. The supplementation of OA/PB improves the remethylation capacity in the liver. On-going transcriptomic analyses will provide a better understanding of the hepatic metabolism of dairy cows exposed to heat stress.
