VistaPre-T in Dairy cows

Trials demonstrate that pre-treatment of forage with VistaPre-T:

• Increases the number of fiber degrading microbes in the rumen
• Increases predicted ME
• Reduces lag time to digestion
• Increases milk yield by >2 litres

Feed efficiency in early lactation increases after using VistaPre-T treated feed:

• 20 cows/group
• 49 DIM, early lactation
• Trial duration = 10 weeks
• Diet = barley and alfalfa silage based

Results:

• Significant decrease in DMI (-2.3 kg/d, P<0.02)
• Significant increase in feed efficiency (+11.3%, P<0.01)

VistaPre-T in Beef cattle

VistaPre-T is suited to diets that contain fiber from forage and fibrous co- products, typically used in the growing of beef cattle.

Recent studies have demonstrated:

• Increased bodyweight
• Increase in average daily gain
• Improved feed efficiency
