Focus on ruminants

Feed additives for ruminants
A consistent feed intake is essential for performance and health, in both dairy and beef cattle farming. Discover phytogenic and conventional feed additives for ruminants from Phytobiotics to ensure your livestock is ready to perform.
Challenges in ruminant husbandry
There are many challenges in modern livestock farming, particularly regarding the nutritional management and health of ruminants. It is important to ensure efficient feed intake and nutrient utilisation to maximise both protein and energy efficiency.
High milk yields and quality, as well as good growth, are key requirements in dairy and beef operations. The use of effective feed additives meets all the animals' needs and increases yields.

- reduces the number of secondary diseases
OTHER FEED ADDITIVES

Plexomin®
Plexomin® is a mineral supplement for a balanced supply and increase in feed efficiency.
- promotes growth and development
- supports metabolic health
- improves feed efficiency and mineral absorption

Flavours (Miracol® & Bigarol)
Our flavourings increase feed intake in ruminants.
- increases feed intake when appetite is low
- improves feed acceptance
- supports consistent growth performance

Sweeteners (PiggySweet, Appitello Naturale, Appitello 3x Green Line, Appitello PX, Phytosweet, PhytoSense 2.5)
Natural sweeteners make feed tastier, thus improving feed intake.
- ensures constant feed intake
- optimises flavour and acceptance
- reduces fluctuations in feed intake

Immune Milk
Immune Milk is a high-quality colostrum powder made from 100% pure bovine colostrum. This additive supports the development of a strong immune system, particularly in calves and young animals.
- supports the immune system of young animals
- reduces susceptibility to disease
- supports healthy development

Increased milk production in dairy cows
Dairy cows require a nutrient supply tailored to their specific needs in order to optimise their milk production and quality. Effective energy metabolism and optimal feed conversion ensure stable and high-performance milk production.
The use of specialised additives promotes milk production and helps to stabilise animal health. An optimal supply leads to lower susceptibility to mastitis and other diseases that affect milk quality and quantity.
Healthy development of beef cattle
For beef cattle, optimal nutrient utilisation is a key factor for high growth performance and meat quality. Phytobiotics' innovative feed additives for ruminants ensure that your animals have the best conditions to reach their full potential. Our products are designed to maximise nutrient efficiency, promoting healthy and productive animal development – and increasing the profitability of your business.

Supporting calves in their development
Calves are particularly susceptible to disease during the first months of life, which is why targeted feeding is crucial to develop a stable immune function. Phytobiotics feed additives, such as Immune Milk, can be used to strengthen the immune health of calves and support their development. This reduces mortality among young animals and ensures faster, healthy growth.
