AMAFERM

The feed additive Amaferm has been developed specifically to improve fibre digestion. In fact, Amaferm is the only feed additive registered in the EU as a digestion enhancer for dairy cows! Amaferm has been proven to increase fibre digestion by around 30% and milk production by an average of 4.8% across 18 peer reviewed scientific experiments.

During the past two winters, many tens of thousands of cows within the UK and Ireland have been converting energy from forage into milk more efficiently thanks to the effects of Amaferm.

AMAFERM on Farm success

160 cow herd in North West England

Feeding: Grass silage, Whole crop wheat, Blend

High Energy Concentrate fed to yield in parlour

Amaferm introduced into diet and results after 21 days show a herd increase of 1.9 litres per cow per day

0.3 litres/ cow/ day needed to pay for product

At 1.9 litres response across herd:

=1.6 litre extra
(after paying for Amaferm)

On 160 cows@ 28ppl milk price=
Over £2000 extra revenue per month

This is just one of many trials we have conducted, everyone on average has gained over 1 litre per cow!

How does it work

Amaferm works by providing rumen fungi with the nutrients they need to accelerate fibre digestion. The rumen cannot function without fungi as they are responsible for breaking down cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. Rumen fungi are first to invade the plant wall, usually within 30 seconds of feeding.

Widespread trials have proved the benefits of Amaferm. Laboratory tests show a 27% increase in rumen fungal growth and an 87% increase in cellulase activity compared with the control - both of these components play a vital part in fibre digestion in the rumen.

GP Feeds recommends including Amaferm in blends or as part of a farm pack for TMR diets and including it in milking cow rations at a rate of between 3g and 5g per cow per day.
