Our Solutions for Ruminants Nutrition:
• The Phosphorus Challenge:
Increased environmental concerns have stimulated renewed interest in phosphorus (P) in dairy cow rations. The challenge is to formulate rations with adequate P level to meet the balanced dairy cattle diets while minimizing P excretion to the environment.
Phosphorus supply has significant effects on the dairy cow metabolism. Phosphorus is a central macro-mineral for numerous bodily functions, metabolic processes and bone formation, so poor rumen fermentation can be expected if there is a lack of phosphorus in rations. This causes a dramatic decrease in micro-organisms activity in the rumen, a decline in ration digestion and a reduction in microbial protein (Biomass) production.
It is indicated that phosphorus accounts for about 50% of the cost of typical vitamin and mineral mixes used on dairy farms. Thus, there is rationale from both economic and environmental considerations to minimize feeding P in excess of requirements.
The availability of P in mineral sources has been examined in some of trials and experimental designs. Monoammonium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate had similar biological availabilities when used in rations for growing bull calves.
Research studies indicated that the biological availability of monosodium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate and diammonium phosphate were all 95-100%. Similar values for monocalcium phosphate (MCP), dicalcium phosphate, defluorinated phosphate, steamed bone meal, fish meal, and soft rock phosphate were 95-98, 93-95, 88-91, 80-82, 90-95 and 25-35%.
GREENPHOS (BAFFEED Company’s Brand) as excellent phosphate products is a feed grade monocalcium phosphate (22.7 %) recommended for use in concentrates, TMRs and mineral supplements and especially for transition period, high producing cows and young calves.

• Meeting the Valuable Protein and Energy:
Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), generated after the fermentation and distillation in a grain-based ethanol production, are an excellent and economical source of protein and energy for livestock, especially dairy and beef cattle. Although similar to the original grain, DDGS is usually richer in protein, fat, and fiber concentrations. Relative to soybean meal (SBM), DDGS co-products are generally recognized to have a proportionately higher rumen undegraded intake protein (UIP) content. This is because most of the readily degradable protein in the grain is degraded during the fermentation process. For example, the National Research Council (NRC) estimates that in general, corn DDGS contains approximately 30 % crude protein, where UIP constitutes about 73 % of crude protein (CP).
Grains are the main resources for ethanol production using either a wet milling or dry-grind process. During the dry-grind process, about 90% of starch in grains can be fermented into carbon dioxide and ethanol, and the reminder of the grain constituents such as protein, lipids, fiber, minerals, and vitamins are concentrated into DDGS. In the United States, corn is used predominately for producing DDGS. Conventional ethanol production consists of 6 sequential steps, which include dry milling, liquefaction, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, and co-product recovery. During the last step of co-product recovery, condensed solubles are mixed with distillers wet grains to become wet distillers grains with solubles (WDGS) and then dried into DDGS.
Rice distillers' grain is a by-product of the processing of rice wine which is produced from the distillation of fermented grain, steam cooked at 131.8ºC and 2.6 kg/m²pressure. It is an important by-product of the distillers industries in Asian countries.
Prorich Agro Private Limited is a prominent rice DDGS manufacturer in India. Prorich’s DDGS is the best alternative protein (Partial replacement with soybean meal) in beef and dairy cattles.

• Premixes; The Best Solution for Valuable Micro-nutrients and Feed Additives Mixing Management :
A premix is a complex mix of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutritional feed additives (average of 5 to 30 raw materials) to incorporate at levels between 0.2 to 2 % in compound feed.
Although premixes make up a small percentage of the formulation, but have the huge potential to make a big difference in the efficacy of a feed. Micro premixes are mixed into the feed between 0.2 and 2% of the total ruminant concentrate mix, while macro premixes make up between 2% to 8% of the mix (including also macro-elements, salts, buffer and amino acids).
Designed and formulated premix in any animal feed delivers a variety of things depending on the type of animal being fed and end goals for the producer. Based on these factors, ingredients in this kind of product can differ greatly from one product to another. No matter what species or specifics the feed is designed for, a premix offers a vehicle to bring added value to the entire ration in an effective and efficient way.
The inclusion of chelated minerals, the addition of mycotoxins binders and antioxidants, or the use of specific flavorings, phytogenics and essential oils are just a few examples of ways premixes can add value to the feed and create a better overall product. This kind of products offers nutrition that is delivered in a precise and correct way to better serve the animals and help them get the most out of their feed.
