Rumenfibre.
Quality ruminant livestock fibre pellet - made locally in Queensland.
Rumenfibre is a fibre pellet specifically formulated for ruminant animals using a combination of fibre sources. As the primary fibre ingredient is peanut shell, the pelleting plant of Smarter Nutrition is conveniently located in Dalby, just over an hour south of Kingaroy, Qld, the peanut capital of Australia.
Rumenfibre enables producers to deliver an effective fibre source to ruminant animals. The 8 to 9 mm pellets are freshly made and palatable and do not need additional processing to be used as a very cost-effective product for stockfeed manufacture or at feedlots and grazing operations.
Rumenfibre has a high insoluble fibre content that can be used as an effective fibre component of rations for beef and dairy cattle, sheep and goats. These pellets are a complete or partial alternative for hay, straw or silage in complete rations.
Rumenfibre is a prime source of effective fibre for ruminants. It will promote rumen motility and regurgitation of feed for cud-chewing, thus increasing saliva production with its buffers’ sodium bicarbonate and disodium phosphate that help maintain a healthy rumen pH for microorganisms.
By including Rumenfibre in total mix ration at decreasing proportions, producers can gradually introduce grain to allow enough time for rumen microorganisms to adapt to high starch rations. The result will be less metabolic problems and improve livestock performance.
Rumenfibre is slowly fermented in the rumen and tends to float, forming a fibre mat. This is essential for grains to be mainly digested in the middle of the rumen, not close to villi on the rumen wall. This will result in less damage to the rumen surface, preventing a leaky gut where toxic compounds can pass through, improved nutrient absorption and reduced risk of acidosis. Hence, the addition of Rumenfibre can enhance overall feed digestibility, manure consistency and animal performance.
