YEA-SACC® is validated by the Carbon Trust to reduce cattle methane emissions and nitrogen excretion rates. Yea-Sacc is the only yeast culture designed for use in ruminant diets that has been awarded this certificate. It is the most widely-researched yeast culture on the market, with over 38 years of consistent performance responses of driving productivity in ruminants. Yea-Sacc is unique in its ability to stimulate both fibre-digesting and lactic acid-utilising bacteria, creating a more stable rumen environment. This allows for more nutrients to be converted into milk or meat and less potential energy being lost to the environment.
OPTIGEN® is Alltech’s non-protein nitrogen source for ruminants. The Carbon Trust has certified that the inclusion of Optigen in a cow’s diet can decrease the global warming potential of that diet and improve nitrogen utilization. The Carbon Trust has validated that the replacement of high-carbon ingredients (such as soya) with Optigen significantly reduces the risk of a high carbon footprint. Optigen is a technology that provides a sustained release of ammonia to rumen microbes at an ideal rate, which helps to avoid periods of excess rumen ammonia, thereby reducing nitrogen excretion.
