Rumitech

Give your cows an A rating with our Climate range Now including Rumitech®

On the 1st May we launched three new Climate compounds with the inclusion of Rumitech®, a methane reducing additive.

What is Rumitech®?

Assured by the Carbon Trust, correct use of Rumitech will reduce methane emissions in dairy cows. Rumitech has been reducing methane and improving livestock efficiency on farm for more than 10 years, and was the first feed validated by the Carbon Trust in 2017.

Less Methane - How Is This Achieved?

Rumitech is a natural feed additive made from a blend of natural essential oils, which can easily be added to the dairy cow’s diet. It works by altering which rumen bugs thrive, resulting in less bugs which produce methane and more bugs which digest fibre, giving the animal more energy out of the feed. Introducing Rumitech to dry cows and throughout transition, has shown improvements in fertility and a reduction in metabolic disease.

IMPROVE PERFORMANCE - The benefits of feeding Rumitech Many published trial results consistently show: -

1. Improved FCR and average feed efficiency improvements of 5.5% 2. Increased fat and protein corrected milk yield +4.5% (p<0.001) 3. Reduced enteric methane emissions in dairy by 17.7% per litre of milk. 4. Rumitech can improve feed conversion efficiency and margin over feed costs, and typical ROI in dairy is between 5 and 10:1

How To Feed

Rumitech will be available as a mineral and incorporated in our new Climate compounds range and blends.

Climate Feeds

Introducing three new compounds to our range featuring Rumitech®

CLIMATE CREAM MAKER

High digestible fibre compound designed to be fed alongside grazed grass, high lactic silage or high starch PMR to optimize performance and yield of milk constituents. Available as 16% or 18% crude protein. Free from soya derivatives and palm kernel meal, and with the inclusion of Rumitech.

CLIMATE REARER

Designed for medium to high genetic merit calves – suited for both beef and dairy systems. Introduce gradually from 10 weeks of age and feed with silage/hay. Can be fed ad lib to younger animals on straw for elevated performance or used as a creep feed for sucking calves. Free from soya derivatives and palm kernel meal, and with the inclusion of Rumitech.

CLIMATE MEGA MILK

High energy, high starch compound feed formulated to optimise performance on a grass silage-based diet. Available as 16% or 18% crude protein. Free from soya derivatives and palm kernel meal, and with the inclusion of Rumitech.
