Improving feed efficiency using innovative methods

Specific programmes by species 

>> ProActiv’® range: Respectful and inspired by the physiology of poultry, ProActiv’® nutritional solutions contribute to a beneficial intestinal microbiota. They thus support the improvement of production performance and animal comfort.

>> FeedStim Poultry is a nutritional additive incorporated in premix or poultry feed, composed of various sources of antioxidants. Used in different farming contexts, this natural solution significantly improves the consumption index (-5%) and ADG (+10%), as well as egg production (+2%).

>> VivActiv'® range, a combination of plant extracts and specific essential oils, is a nutritional solution that improves the value of protein and energy in the rations of dairy cows, fattening cattle, sheep, and goats. A truly natural alternative to protein and starch protection techniques such as formaldehyde or xylose tanning, VivActiv'® allows significant savings in protein in feed formulation. The range includes various nutritional additives adapted to diets high in fibre and fat or starch and allows a better feed efficiency of the ration. 

>> ONE, for Objective Nitrogen Efficiency, is a new approach to the formulation of ruminant feed rations that better characterize the protein to nourish the ruminal flora better. Indeed, improving the protein yield of feed rations is a major technical and economic issue in ruminant farming. To do this, it is necessary to specify the protein better, particularly its speed of break-down in the rumen.

Understanding the kinetics of ruminal break-down of the proteins from different raw materials in the feed ration determines:

• The accuracy of the energy and protein inputs;
• The compliance with the synergy between protein and energy of the diet;
• The prediction and control of the risk of acidosis from feed rations.
