BlogMicrobiota modulation for better feed utilization in gestating sowsThe benefits of the live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii CNCM I-1079 to sow and litter performance are well established. It is now proven that the probiotic, thanks to its interaction with fiber degradation and energy utilization, can significantly improve feed efficiency in sows. Live yeast effect on fiber degradation Part of the mode of […]

BlogExpert’s view: Rick GRANT about the link between fiber quality and farm profitabilityRick GRANT, William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute, Chazy, NY USA How do you define fiber quality and what affects it? First of all, let’s define fiber quality: it relates to fiber’s intrinsic digestibility, or indigestibility, which is commonly defined by uNDF240, the undegraded neutral detergent fiber at 240 hours of in vitro fermentation. This […]

BlogFrom feed to shell: The role of BACTOCELL in the Ca metabolism in mature laying hensEggshell formation: a demanding mineralization process Calcium (Ca) requirements grow with the age but should be carefully managed from the pullet stage, a critical moment for the medullary bone Ca reservoir constitution. During egg production, this reserve is mobilized into the uterine gland for shell mineralization. When blood Ca levels become critical, a Ca resorption […]

BlogOptimize dairy production through forage preservationWhen focusing on the feed value of fiber in ruminant diets, feed efficiency starts with forage management, from the field to the bunker. For sure, optimal forage and fiber development starts with harvesting at the correct maturity and dry matter (DM) levels and is maintained with good storage management practices. Here is where forage inoculants are […]
