Can plant extracts improve feed efficiency in ruminants? Current knowledge and outlooks

Theoretically seems very beneficial for rumen health but what is the tangible percent achievement in terms of milk production due to the use of these plant extracts?

Dear Dr. Muhammad, Thank you for oyur interest. Pancosma always check the zootechnical performance of its products. We do not make only theory and we do publish ALL our works in full transparency. We are this week at the JAM ADSA meeting in US and we will release to the scientific community the outcomes of our research. In term of concrete results, we do observe: - increase in daily milk production, even in heat stress situation (Pancosma patent) - No dilution of the milk quality (no chaNge in proteins content) - Improvement of milk quality (reduction of urea content) - Improvement of FCM % (when capsicum in the formula) - Rumen stabilization by fractionnating feeding behaviour (less acidosis lesions) - Increase of water consumption If you are interested by more information, we can continue sharing information at my private email: Jennifer.maurin@pancosma.ch See you, my bets regards

DEAR JENNIFER, YOU HAVE SKIPPED MY TRUE QUESTION? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT %AGE ADDITION PANCOSMA EXTRACT CAN BRING ABOUT IN MILK PRODUCTION? 10% OR 20%?

Dear Dr. Muhammad I did not Skyped your question. To talk about % improvement is not clear and correct because it depends on the average milk production, environmental conditions, diet composition of your control groups. The potential increase of feed intake should be also considered. Then the real efficacy of an additive is evaluated thanks to the MILK to FEED ratio, this is the correct way to measure benefits. To give you an answer to your question : We have 2 formulas: - A first product (XTRACT Dairy) made of 2 actives which increases milk production by : + 3,5%, based on a Meta analysis of 15 trials with a total of 575 cows in mid lactation (mean DIM:135 days) - A 2nd product /XTRACT Ruminants) made of 3 actives which increases milk production by : 7% on high productive cows with average production of 40kg/day Is this answer better for you? My best regards
