Farm Lac
Live yeast in a lactose base — developed for daily mixing into liquid milk or milk replacer, for very young calves prior to and during weaning.
The benefits of feeding the live yeast can now be realised with very young calves prior to and during weaning. Agristock Farm Lac has been developed specifically for daily mixing into liquid milk or milk replacer. The live yeast is incorporated into a lactose base for palatability and easy mixing.
Agristock Farm Lac encourages early rumen development, allowing higher levels of concentrates to be introduced sooner. Trials show that intakes of calf coarse mix can increase by up to 25% in the weaning period.
The Science
How It Works
Agristock Farm Lac increases the number and activity of specific beneficial bacteria and competes with pathogenic organisms for adhesion sites on the intestinal wall. It is not degraded in the stomach of the pre-ruminant calf and not affected by antibiotics. Metabolism is enhanced, toxins are neutralised and nutrients better absorbed.
Agristock Farm Lac reduces digestive problems by preventing the growth of pathogenic agents:
- Certain pathogens fix to the yeast cell surface (over 200 E.coli per cell), the yeast/pathogen complex is rapidly excreted from the gut, and the ratio of Lactobacilli to colibacilli is increased.
- Specific metabolites produced by the live yeast neutralise the effects of toxins.
The Result
Earlier weaning, stronger gains
Intake of calf coarse mix increases during the weaning period, resulting in earlier weaning. Concentrates are introduced sooner and live-weight gains are greatly increased.
Key Benefits
- Dry matter intake is increased
- Liveweight gain is increased
- Effects of E.coli are reduced
- Mortality is reduced
- Feed efficiency is improved
- Weaning weight is increased
