Biomin^® P.E.P. products are natural growth promoter products (NGPs) used to maintain digestive health in young ruminants before the rumen is developed. Biomin^® P.E.P. products are formulated to meet different needs and production systems. Accordingly, while the essential oils from oregano, citrus and anise are consistent across the different formulation, other ingredients, such as momoglycerides or fructooligosaccharides may be incorporated to meet the needs of the feeding situation. Biomin^® P.E.P. sol powder is added to milk and milk replacers to reduce digestive upset and maintain performance and health of the preweaned calf. Biomin^® P.E.P. 125 is a dry product for adding to calf starters. When neither Biomin^® P.E.P. sol powder or Biomin^® P.E.P. 125 is administered, Biomin^® P.E.P. liquid can be given on an as-needed-basis should digestive upsets cause scours.

The beneficial effects of yeasts in dairy are known and utilized for more than one century. Levabon^® Rumen represents a yeast product (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) which contains a mixture of cell wall carbohydrates, peptides, essential amino acids and B-vitamins. Those bioactive ingredients have prebiotic capabilities and thus stimulate the growth of fiber digesting bacteria. The benefits are improved feed intake, improved nutrient availability and as a result an overall improved ruminant health.

…is designed using selected homo- and heterofermentative bacteria formulated for optimal anaerobic and aerobic stability of silages. As well as an improved fermentation process and excellent aerobic stability, it proved to have a preserving effect on the energy content in the silages in many laboratory and field trials conducted worldwide.

The Biomin^® BioStabil product line is suitable for the ensiling of very diverse substrates like grass, alfalfa, clover and whole plant maize and maize grains.

The Biomin^® BioStabil product line contains strains of Lactobacillus and Enterococcus spp. in optimal ratios of homo- to hetero-fermentative bacteria. Maize silages, commonly known as unstable under aerobic conditions, can also be ensiled with excellent results.

The Biomin^® BioStabil product line is also designed to preserve the nutrients, and to reduce the energy and ammonia losses in the ensiled material. The production of lactic and acetic acids is adequate, striking a balance between fermentation quality, aerobic stability and palatability. The Biomin^® BioStabil product line contains naturally occurring live microorganisms in silages, which are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS).

Advantages of Biomin^® BioStabil product line:

• Effective use in various forage crops and DM contents
• Accelerated acidification avoiding energy losses
• Excellent aerobic stability (for at least 7 days)
• Low DM and energy losses after opening of the silos
