What if you could ensure your feed would perform in any situation, under a wide variety of largely uncontrollable circumstances? Maybe you can. Insurance is a form of risk management, primarily used to hedge against the risk of damage or loss. For feed, this could present itself in various ways: loss of gain/body condition, loss […]
Aspergillus oryzae is a multi-cellular, filamentous fungi that has deep roots in Chinese and Japanese culture, where it has been used for centuries to make sake, soy sauce and other fermented foods. Now, A. oryzae is making its mark on animal agriculture, too. It all started back in the 1940s when H.E. Kistner discovered, and […]
“Gut health” is a term that is being used increasingly in scientific literature, health magazines and blogs, and is even making its way into everyday conversation. But what really is gut health? It’s a term that does not really have an agreed upon definition. Perhaps the simplest definition is the absence of gastrointestinal (GI) illness […]
You probably have heard of probiotics before, but did you know there is another class of gut health promoters called prebiotics? While probiotics add living microbes into the gut, prebiotics work as fuel for the microbes that are already inside the gut. Amaferm® is BioZyme®’s proprietary prebiotic, manufactured from the precise fermentation of an organism called Aspergillus […]
You’ve probably heard a lot about digestion and its importance to animal health. But what about absorption? If digestibility is good, do you need to worry about absorption? The answer is yes! While good digestion is required to break the nutrients from feed into molecules small enough for the animal to absorb, consuming and digesting […]
What if there was something to help your horse gain weight, while also lowering your feed bills? Seems too good to be true, right? Wrong! Here is a common scenario: you buy a skinny, unthrifty horse. You feed, feed, feed the horse, but you just don’t see any improvement in his or her weight or muscling despite proper […]
Man’s best friend, the dog, has become a more integral part of most of our everyday lives. As veterinary care and technology evolves, dogs are living longer, healthier lives. As dog owners and lovers, we can help support this healthy lifestyle by providing adequate nutritional and digestive support. Dogs are monogastrics, but unlike pigs and […]
It’s no secret, efficient gain in the feedlot means more pounds with less feed; and more efficient pounds equal more profit. However, when big, grass-fed yearlings come in to the feedlot and have to transition to a high-concentrate diet in a short period of time, it is well known that a great start will lead […]
Spending less on a product doesn’t always mean you’re saving money. That is true when selecting the best creep feed for your calves. Supplementing calves with creep feed is important to their growth, as it provides a source of energy that most calves won’t get while transitioning from nursing to grazing forages. And since there […]
In animal health and nutrition, we often talk about improving or enhancing digestibility. Digestibility refers to the ability of the animal to break down large, insoluble feed into smaller, soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the blood. Good digestion is paramount to overall animal health, but, no matter how excellent the digestion process is, […]
