RumeNext-Beef
Product No. 825400
Description
What is RumeNext-Beef?
RumeNext-Beef is a patent-pending combination of concentrated plant
extracts that are standardized and protected in a micro-encapsulated
shell. Standardized extracts of cinnamon, cloves, and pepper are the
active plant extracts. The encapsulated extracts are blended into a
carrier for convenient delivery to the cattle on farm or feedlot.
How was RumeNext-Beef developed?
RumeNext-Beef was developed by a team of scientists working in a
five-year, worldwide research program coordinated by ADM and
Pancosma. Pancosma is a leading European ingredient supplier.
RumeNext-Beef was developed using bench-top methods to screen more
than 50 plant extracts for their effect on rumen fermentation.
What is the purpose of RumeNext-Beef?
RumeNext-Beef is specially formulated for growing cattle. In
research trials with growing cattle, RumeNext-Beef has shown
increased growth and efficiency without altering feed intake. It may
also lower arrival cattle morbidity and mortality.
How does RumeNext-Beef work?
RumeNext-Beef affects feed digestion by acting on certain rumen
microbes. RumeNext-Beef changes the profile of rumen-volatile fatty
acids (VFA) and changes rumen-protein digestion. It lowers
rumen-acetate level and increases propionate and butyrate levels. It
reduces the breakdown of amino acids in the rumen and, thus, lowers
rumen ammonia-nitrogen levels. The product has no affect on rumen
pH.
How is RumeNext-Beef available?
RumeNext-Beef is available as an Alliance® Animal Health
product (number 82540014) and as an ingredient in ANI manufactured
feeds. 82540014 is a meal form packaged in 50 pounds bags.
Performance Benefits
What are the most common benefits when feeding RumeNext-Beef?
In two
35-day trials, RumeNext-Beef improved ADG (2-5%), feed efficiency
(1-3%), and health status of growing cattle. Response was magnified
(10-18%) during transition or high-stress periods (day 1-14).
When and how much RumeNext-Beef should be fed?
RumeNext-Beef can be fed to all growing ruminants. The recommended
feeding rate is 0.25 to 0.5 oz/head/day depending on the type of
diet and feed additives already present. Further investigation is
underway to validate these interactions.
Does RumeNext-Beef have any affect on health?
RumeNext-Beef is considered as a rumen modifier; however, cattle fed
extract were treated and retreated 50 to 84% less than controls.
What are the economics of feeding RumeNext-Beef?
In
receiving studies, RumeNext-Beef offers a 9:1 ROI based on improved
ADG.
Recommended Use
In what type of diets will RumeNext-Beef work best?
RumeNext-Dairy works best in diets that contain optimum amounts of
rumen-fermentable carbohydrate and degradable protein. Diet
interactions are likely similar with RumeNext-Beef. It may be
especially beneficial in diets that contain a high amount of soluble
true protein, such as when animals are grazing pasture or when being
fed high amounts of corn co-products
Can RumeNext-Beef be fed in combination with Rumensin®*?
Yes.
RumeNext-Beef has a different mode of action in the rumen compared
with Rumensin, and the two additives are complementary. However,
when Rumensin is present at the approved level, the feeding rate of
RumeNext-Beef should be limited to 0.25 oz/head/day to gain the full
benefit of both additives.
Can RumeNext-Beef be fed in combination with other feed additives or
medications?
Yes.
RumeNext-Beef complements other additives typically found in cattle
rations. RumeNext-Beef has no known restrictions with medications in
total mixed rations or range supplements.
Is RumeNext-Beef palatable?
Yes.
RumeNext-Beef can be used as a top-dress or it can be mixed into the
TMR or concentrate portion of the diet. It has a pleasant aroma,
which may be noticeable on the farm.
Can it be fed to meat goats?
Yes.
RumeNext-Beef can be used in meat goat diets at the rate of 0.165 oz
per 100 lb of body weight.
Manufacturing and Handling
Are there storage concerns?
No.
RumeNext-Beef is stable for up to 18 months when stored under normal
conditions.
Can RumeNext-Beef be used in pelleted feeds?
Yes.
RumeNext-Beef is suitable for adding to a wide variety of rations,
and it can be pelleted. Because of its high degree of stability, it
is ideal for supplements and complete feeds. It is equally
successful when added to rations at the farm or feedlot or as a
top-dress supplement.
