Optigen from Alltech

Offers a steady and sustained release of soluable non-protein nitrogen (NPN) important for fibre-digesting bacteria and 30% of starch-digesting bacteria.

• When formulated correctly, NPN helps improve rumen function as well as the output of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), meaning more energy will be available to the cow. We must also consider appropriately balancing the cows’ diets in terms of their amino acid supply. Rumen-protected forms of amino acids are the best choice; rumen-protected methionine, for example, has been shown to increase dry matter intakes, milk yields and milk proteins.
