Ruminants

Q: Do your products help with heat or transport stress in cattle?

Antioxidant protection (e.g. EnzActive Protein Powder) supports animal resilience during stress periods, including heat and transport stress. A dedicated quantitative trial on heat stress in cattle specifically is not yet available in our materials.

Yeast-based solutions for dairy and beef cattle, calves and small ruminants — supporting rumen fermentation, calf rumen development and milk quality.

What We Solve for Ruminants

Rumen pH stabilisation
Less lactate accumulation — lower acidosis risk and a steadier rumen pH.
Residual oxygen uptake in the rumen
Maintaining an anaerobic environment — better conditions for beneficial rumen microbiota to stay active.
Lower methanogenesis
Modified microbial fermentation, with the potential to reduce methane (CH₄) formation.
Milk yield & quality
Milk yield and milk quality — fat, protein and somatic cell count.
Calf rumen development
Rumen development in calves, and lower diarrhoea incidence.
Heat & transport stress
Resilience to heat and transport stress, and recovery after antibiotic treatment.

How probiotics work in the rumen

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain is microencapsulated in a layer of inactivated yeast cells, which protects it during transport, storage and feed processing.

The probiotic gradually becomes active in the rumen — this is where its key point of impact lies in ruminants. The rumen is the main site of microbial feed fermentation, so supporting its microbial environment directly affects how nutrients are digested and used.

Live yeast consumes residual oxygen, supports the activity of beneficial microbiota and helps utilise lactate. That keeps rumen pH stable, improves fibre digestion and optimises feed fermentation.

The result is a stable rumen, more efficient feed utilisation and more available energy for the animal's performance.

Frequently asked questions

Are Enzym Feed Solutions' yeast-based feed additives compatible with different types of feed?

Yes. Our yeast-based feed additives are compatible with various types of compound feed, including pelleted and mash feeds, and are designed to be incorporated into standard feeding programs. Selected products are water-soluble, providing additional flexibility depending on feeding practices and production requirements.

Which yeast strains are used in your products?

Our solutions are based on scientifically researched yeast strains, including Saccharomyces boulardii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Kluyveromyces marxianus, as well as other functional yeast-derived components depending on the product and its intended application.

How do your products help stabilise the rumen?

EnzActive Protein Powder has been studied in calves and sheep: documented effects include higher protein nitrogen levels in the rumen and blood, and increased amylolytic/cellulolytic activity (p<0.05), supporting rumen fermentation.

Do your products help with heat or transport stress in cattle?

Antioxidant protection (e.g. EnzActive Protein Powder) supports animal resilience during stress periods, including heat and transport stress. A dedicated quantitative trial on heat stress in cattle specifically is not yet available in our materials.
