ICC Brazil provides tips on improving cattle performance

The results of agricultural activities and animal performance rely on nutrition and appropriate management techniques. Whether for dairy or beef cattle, anenergetic supplementation, protein, or minerals is needed.

Genetic predisposition directly influences nutritional planning when developing a balanced diet, which increases the productivity and reproductive performance of farm animals. ICC Brazil, a company pioneering the production of innovative solutions for yeast-based animal nutrition, has defined four factors to help improve animal performance: 1) Providing aspecific feed for each phase; 2) Observing nutritional deficiencies and needs; 3) Taking care of food availability; 4) Paying attention to climate change, room temperature, ventilation, and hydration.

Also, farmers have been looking for protein value in alternative and natural sources to form a balanced diet. RumenYeast®, an ICC Brazil product, is a natural additive that can be included in the animal's diet, as well as adding nutritional value and significantly improving the health of ruminants. The product is composed of fermentation metabolites, providing ideal nutrition for rumen microbiota, intestinal health, and strength for the immune system. It maintains rumen pH and stimulates cellulolytic bacteria, thus improving rumenconditions.
