Natural Yucca and Biocell yeast combine to control urea in milk and blood. Ammonia is reduced and rumen function improved. Liver health is increased and fertility is enhanced. The risk of embryonic death is reduced.

• Reduces pasture scorch
• Improves fertility

Consequences of excess dietary protein

Lost milk production – Cows use energy in excreting excess ammonia (as urea), reducing energy available for milk production. It is estimated that a 25 litre cow on a diet of 30% crude protein, instead of 18%, will only yield 17 litres of milk.

Lost of body weight – These cows, especially spring calving cows, use body fat reserves to make up the energy deficit so that yields stay high. However, the cow can lose excess body condition in an attempt to meet energy demands, which results in infertility and poor milk protein.

Pasture scorch – Excess dietary protein is frequently associated with a yellow discoloration (scorch) of the pasture in the area where cows urinate. On some farms, especially those with sandy soil, it can destroy large areas of a paddock.

Poor rumen function – Cows frequently scour profusely when they first go to grass. Partly due to the low fibre content of spring grass. Excess ammonia is also toxic to rumen micro-organisms, resulting in poor rumen function and scouring.

Infertility, poor conception rates and embryonic death – 'Turnout infertility' is now one of the major problems facing dairy farmers. On examination of fertility records, it is quite common to find very acceptable conception rates in cows served during the winter months. However, these decrease dramatically to levels as low as 15-20% when cows move to grass.
