Ruminants: Feed additives for optimizing nutrition
Discover Navigator Nutrition’s feed additives for ruminants
Feed additives in ruminants for better health and performance
Ruminants, such as dairy cows, beef cattle, and sheep, have digestive systems that require carefully balanced nutrition. Their multi-chambered stomachs rely on microbial fermentation to break down their fiber-rich diets efficiently. To optimize their productivity, maintain the animals’ gut health, and enhance sustainability, targeted feed additives can play an important role.
Key nutritional requirements for ruminants
- Efficient protein utilization: Ruminants require a steady supply of nitrogen to support microbial protein synthesis in the rumen. However, excessive dietary protein can be wasteful and environmentally harmful.
- Energy balance: Proper energy levels are essential for milk production, growth, and reproductive performance. Rumen-friendly energy sources improve feed efficiency.
- Gut Health and immunity: Maintaining a stable microbial population in the rumen supports digestion and overall health. Gut health is especially critical in stressful periods, such as transition periods like the dry period for dairy cows.
- Sustainability and efficiency: Reducing reliance on soybean meal, as well as minimizing nitrogen excretion, enhances environmental sustainability.
Navigator Nutrition’s solutions for ruminants
At Navigator Nutrition, we offer high-quality feed additives designed to meet the specific needs of ruminants, enhancing both performance and sustainability.
Butyrate for Dry Cows
A unique combination of high bioavailable magnesium and butyrate.
Feeding Rumen Reset® in the last 3 weeks of the dry phase will energize the cow to counter transition stress of partus and lactation start.
Stimulating rumen-wall papillae
Prevents hypocalcemia
Improves nutrient absorption
Immune System Boost
Slow Release Urea
A consistent protein supply contributes to the health of the cow.
Euphurea® is a highly effective feed additive designed to optimize protein intake in dairy cows, significantly reducing the need for traditional protein sources like soy.
Reduced Soy Consumption
Potential protein content 253,5%. 100 gram replaces 600 gram soy with a protein content of 42%.
Create space in your ration
Sustainable Feeding
Aromas & flavors
Trigger appetite, boost intake
NaviRoma® Aromas naturally draw animals to the feed, and it’s the flavor that keeps them eating. NaviRoma® helps animals maintain good feed intake, especially during stressful periods like weaning.
Long lasting taste
Improved feed intake
Process-stable
Locally produced
Sweetner
More sweetness, less bitterness
NaviSweet® adds sweetness to the feed, because animals naturally prefer sweet flavors. NaviSweet helps to mask unpleasant or bitter tastes from ingredients like minerals or vitamins. This makes the feed more palatable.
Sweet taste
Masking bitterness
Improved feed intake
Process-stable
Coated amino acids
Delivers amino acids where they are needed
NaviMino® Coated amino acids are essential for ruminants to ensure key nutrients bypass rumen degradation and are absorbed efficiently in the intestine. This reduces the need for excess dietary protein, making it asmart choice for both performance and sustainability.
Rumen bypass
Improves protein efficiency
