PROBIOTIC
Lambs
Feeding Actisaf® to finishing lambs has been repeatedly proven to support the bugs that stabilise rumen pH, reduce the build-up of lactic acid and increase fibre digestion.
In turn, this prevents digestive upset, eases the transitions between diets, minimises the risk of acidosis and associated loss of performance, and increases VFA (energy) release from feed, the key driver of live weight gain. Good rumen function supported by Actisaf® promotes efficient digestion, unlocking more from your forages and feed to support high levels of performance.
Actisaf® has been found in several trials to improve feed efficiency in ruminants by stimulating the growth and activity of rumen microbes, with no increase in feed intakes.
Over a typical lamb finishing period, trial results have shown Actisaf® to improve:
- average daily weight gain by 10%
- Feed conversion rate by 11%
- Carcass weight by up to 1.2 kg per lamb
