Good afternoon dr Manella, I would like to know if there is someone in South Africa who can sell your product as mentioned in the paper about the tannins (Sylvafeed bypro). I would love to test it in our environment as I am working at farmers who feed about 3 000 calves per year from 180 kg live weight up to 300 kg on a background system. We would love to get results as published. Kind regards Hennie du Toit

How do you relate your product with an improvement in milk quality and quantity? Have you checked the effect of your product for improving reproductive health of dairy animals as less PUN means less services per conception?

Can you please send me some data on the effect of your product for improved homeostasis in tropical conditions? I'd be interested to see any effect on haematology and T3 T4 synthesis.

Lovely article which is rich in information. I especially like the positive attributes in regards to possible reduction of GHGs. Just like it has been asked earlier, who are the suppliers in Africa and in Kenya for that matter?

I am wondering if this product has been tested on other ruminants, like sheep. We have a large number of lambs in feedlots as well as cattle.
