The progression of ruminant nutrition along with new insights into the rumen microbiome has led to the advancement in targeted feed services and ingredients to optimise rumen function and overall animal health.
Consistent heifer growth and performance
The diet and its content, density, balance of nutrients and palatability factors, especially with younger animals are all significant factors in heifer development.
We also do not want cattle to develop bad habits because of how we raise them. That can include rations that encourage them to learn to sort feed, or delivery programs that encourage them to eat slugs of feed, or to become competitive at the feed bunk. Or if it is a less dominant animal, not to eat only what it needs.
Consistency is important not only in animal feed formulation, but how and when the ration is presented to minimise waste. We can help establish practices and habits which can be implemented to help reduce waste in animal feeds.
Ruminant products
Combining industry-leading products and optimal feed strategies to increase ROI
Axcelera C
Axcelera C is a highly digestible lactose pellet for faster growth of calves, faster rumen development and earlier weaning age.
OptiPartum-C+
From the critical postpartum period and beyond, improve cow performance and farm profitability by unlocking more energy from the ration with OptiPartum-C+.
Vistabet
Vistabet is a natural betaine source which helps preserve gut integrity; improve carcass quality, spares choline and reduces methionine inclusion.
Vistacell
Vistacell improves and stabilises the gut microflora; increases the presence of beneficial bacteria; and improves nutrient composition in sow milk.
VistaPass M
VistaPass M enhances milk yield and efficiency in high lactating dairy cows, reducing the need for other expensive feed sources and maximising potential.
VistaPre-T
VistaPre-T improves fibre use, resulting in greater energy release from roughages and fibrous co-products to improve efficiency and performance.
THE RIGHT FEED FOR YOUR HERD
As the industry’s understanding of the rumen environment improves, so too does our knowledge of how to overcome frequently seen challenges, in dairy and beef digestion. For example, the efficiency of the rumen to utilise feedstuffs can be impaired by the presence of oxygen, pH changes and changes to the microbiome. This knowledge provides producers with the opportunity to include rumen beneficial feed additives to increase rumen efficiency and overall herd profitability.

Online Feed Fibre Calculator
Calculate the percentage of dietary fibre in your feed
Our calculator is designed for nutritionists and uses averages of global raw materials to calculate the dietary fibre content (plus other more in-depth fibre parameters) of finished animal feed. These parameters are available within AB Vista’s Dietary Fibre analysis service (part of our NIR service).
