Optimising ruminal health for high-performance animal production

Optimising ruminal health for high-performance animal production

Rumen health is key to ensuring the performance and well-being of ruminants. A healthy rumen enables optimal fibre digestion, better nutrient assimilation and fewer digestive disorders. At TIMAC AGRO, we are committed to supporting farmers in managing rumen health in order to improve the productivity and comfort of their animals.

The importance of a balanced rumen

The rumen is a complex ecosystem where numerous microorganisms interact. Its proper functioning depends on several factors:

  • A stable pH : Too low a pH can lead to ruminal acidosis, while too high a pH can slow down fibre digestion.
  • A diverse microbial flora : Bacteria, protozoa and fungi must be in balance to ensure efficient feed fermentation.
  • An appropriate diet : A diet that is too rich in starch or low in fibre can disrupt this balance.

TIMAC AGRO solutions for optimal ruminal health

At TIMAC AGRO, we base our support on three pillars: targeted additives, tailored nutritional correctors and local technical support. To act more precisely on ruminal physiology, we rely on four exclusive technologies developed by the Groupe Roullier World Innovation Centre :

Boost
Ruminal booster intensifying fermentation, accelerating feed digestion and improving protein utilisation efficiency.
Digest
Specific substrate derived from fermentation, recognised for increasing fibre degradation and enhancing the value of forage.
Flora
A synergy of selected plants and live yeasts that supports the microbial flora and strengthens the digestive immune system.
Fix’N
A blend of saponin-rich plants designed to regulate soluble nitrogen in the rumen, thereby securing protein metabolism and reducing ammonia losses.

These solutions are easy to integrate into existing feeding practices and, combined with our field expertise, ensure optimal ruminal health, guaranteeing high-performance and sustainable animal production.

By ensuring optimal ruminal health, farmers can not only improve the productivity of their livestock, but also ensure better animal welfare. TIMAC AGRO is committed to supporting livestock farmers with sustainable and innovative solutions for efficient and environmentally friendly animal production.
