BETTER RUMEN STABILITY
Higher ruminal pH, increased ruminal papillae surface area (Bethancourt et al., 2024), enhanced nutrient uptake and increased microbial crude protein production (Nascimento et al., 2024).
IMPROVED PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE
Increased dry matter intake (Bethancourt et al., 2024; Nascimento et al., 2024) and greater body weight gain (Bethancourt et al., 2024).
ENHANCED ANIMAL WELFARE
Decreased hair cortisol levels (Colombo et al., 2022), helping animals better handle with feedlot-related stress.
GREATER CARCASS QUALITY & ECONOMIC VALUE
Increased hot carcass weight, longissimus muscle area and subcutaneous fat deposition (Bethancourt et al., 2024), enhancing economic returns.

The challenge of intensive systems for cattle beef
Beef cattle face multiple challenges in achieving heavy carcass weights rapidly, when fed high-energy, low-forage diets, including:
Low and unstable
ruminal pH
Increased risk of abscess and
inflammatory conditions
Feed intake variability
and digestive disorders
