Have you considered feeding Levucell?

1. Early growth gains

Feeding Levucell live yeast promotes the growth of rumen papillae, enabling the rumen to work more effectively and increasing feed utilisation. 

2. Rumen stabilisation

Levucell has also been shown to reduce rumen oxygen content, which helps stimulates the growth of rumen organisms that digest fibre and starch; contributing to more efficient rumen performance.

3. Reduced risk of acidosis

Finishing cattle are often fed high energy, high starch diets. When fermented in the rumen these diets create acidic conditions and lower rumen pH. If left unchecked, this decrease in rumen pH can result in acidosis and subsequent drop in rumen performance.

Levucell live yeast regulates rumen pH by encouraging the growth of bacteria within the rumen that counteract lactic acid; helping to maintain optimum rumen pH of 6.2 pH or above. 

4. Ease transition

Sudden changes to diet can result in cattle suffering from stomach upsets and subsequent growth checks. During periods of transition, Levucell can be used to help ease the rumen ‘shock’ created by changes to diet by quickly stabilising rumen pH and ensuring that the rumen maintains anaerobic conditions.
