BlogDo you know how fiber is affecting rumen health?Ruminant digestive systems have the ability to degrade and ferment fiber through microbial activity. The fiber components, and the subsequent production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), provide the majority of the energy for the ruminant. But energy (and milk) production is not the only role of fiber: it is the fiber that ensures the proper […]

BlogMaintaining bedding quality can benefit udder healthDid you know that a cow spends at least 12 hours per day lying down, either resting or ruminating? It is easy to understand how the microbial quality of the bedding and manure — that are in close contact with the udder for so long — is an important factor to help maintain a healthy […]

BlogBactocell supports calcium metabolism in mature laying lensAs the laying cycle progresses, eggs get bigger while the hens’ calcium (Ca) metabolism becomes disrupted. The capacity to keep hens well beyond 90 weeks emphasizes the necessity to manage eggshell quality all along the cycle to avoid some end-of-lay disorders. All the Ca deposited on the eggshell comes from the feed. Therefore, its assimilation […]

BlogExpert’s view: Caroline Achard about the impact of heat stress on pig microbiotaCaroline Achard, Ph.D., Research Scientist at the Lallemand Monogastric Center of Excellence Is there a clear relationship between the microbiota profile and the animal’s response to heat stress? How can this be interpreted? In our study, we demonstrated that heat stress modulated the gut microbiota composition in pigs. Heat stressed pigs notably showed increased […]

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 […]
