Improving Ruminants Performance
In the realm of ruminant farming, our attention is primarily dedicated to enhancing milk quality and maintaining optimal gut health for the animals.

T-cell Control Milk somatic cell count is one of the important indicators regularly monitored on farms and is also an important measure of the physiological health status of cows. When the somatic cell count in milk exceeds 300,000 cells/ml, milk production begins to decline and is accompanied by a decrease in cheese protein content. High somatic cell counts directly reflect that cows have inflammatory diseases in their mammary glands.
As mastitis causes a decrease in milk production, feeding becomes uneconomical and it becomes necessary to cull some high-yielding cows (as cows with higher milk production are more susceptible to mastitis). This also leads to other losses such as discarded milk, medication costs, and additional labor. This indirectly increases the cost of farming. Therefore, a high somatic cell count in milk can cause significant losses in a dairy farm. Since somatic cells have a significant impact on cows, and there are many factors that can increase somatic cell count in milk, such as bacterial infections, environmental hygiene, stress, genetics, lactation number, etc., the main factor is bacterial infection. Improving high somatic cell counts requires a comprehensive approach, including scientific feeding management, good environmental hygiene, and herd vaccination, all of which help to maintain somatic cell counts within normal levels. Regarding the main bacterial infections and herd vaccination, Rota has unique solutions: Exogenous signal factors and repair factors were added to help: ✦ Kill bacteria and control somatic cell count. ✦ Enhance the immune function of the mammary mucosa. ✦ Improve the immune system of the herd. ✦ Reduce fecal contamination and improve the environment. |
Guarding the Intestinal Health of Young Animal There are 113 types of proteins in colostrum and 118 types of proteins in regular milk, distributed in 42 functional gene clusters, including substances involved in metabolism, growth and development, antimicrobial properties, promotion of lymphocyte development, and cell immune signaling.
After weaning, calves,lambs etc. face changes in their diet structure and a lack of bioactive substances obtained from breast milk, which hinders intestinal development, damages the intestines, reduces digestion and absorption capabilities, and leads to diarrhea, ultimately affecting the growth.
The active substances in colostrum and regular milk can repair damaged intestinal epithelial cells, making the intestinal structure more complete, reducing the risk of complications, promoting the growth of intestinal villi, and improving nutrient absorption. These are functions that are not present in exogenous feed!
The addition of exogenous bioactive substances can: ✦ Prevent and treat calf diarrhea, improve fecal morphology, mental state, and dehydration state ✦ Reduce the rate of diarrhea ✦ Increase weight gain ✦ Assist in the recovery of diarrhea and dehydrated young animal ✦ Accelerate rehabilitation ✦ Improve resistance to diseases |
Improvement of performance With the increasing demands of consumers for a healthy lifestyle and food quality, particularly in Asian countries where poultry and pork are commonly consumed, the demand for beef is rapidly rising. However, the level of beef cattle farming in Asian countries lags far behind that of developed countries.
In beef cattle farming, we focus on improving the growth performance of cattle. By adding bioactive substances, we can achieve the following benefits:
✦ Increase daily weight gain ✦ Increase feed intake and reduce FCR ✦ Improve body shape and reduce abdominal fat ✦ Enhance fur quality ✦ Boost immunity and reduce rumen fermentation ✦ Reduce the occurrence of diarrhea and constipation ✦ Maintain gastrointestinal health and balance the internal micro-ecology. |
