Product Benefits.

Modes of Action.

Our effective range of feed additives and dietary feed supplements are specifically selected and developed to support animal health and productivity.

Pathogen Binding

The binding of Mannan-Oligosaccharides to cell surface structures of gram-negative pathogens reduces their ability of epithelial attachment and increases their elimination.

Passive Immunity 

Before gut closure in newborns, immunoglobulins are absorbed through the intestinal wall to provide immunity for the first weeks of life. Drives the maturation of systemic active and passive immunity.

Provides Energy

Animals require high quality energy in times of reduced feed intake, or during resource-heavy processes like growth, production, recovery, or high stress to remain in a positive energy balance.

Targeted Support

A targeted combination of vitamins and/or minerals can support various metabolic, hormonal, and immunological processes in times of increased demand and compensate possible deficiencies.

Bioactive Substances

Colostrum contains a high proportion of bioactive substances such as growth factors, immune and antimicrobial factors that promote physical development and overall performance.

Application Method.

Product Description.

Most young animals are born without a previous transfer of maternal immunoglobulins and rely on receiving these vital antibodies from colostrum within the first few hours of life to build their passive immunity. Successful passive immunity depends on the timing and amount of immunoglobulin intake. First Protector is specially formulated with high-quality colostrum powder, yeast cell walls, trace elements, and essential vitamins.

First Protector’s unique blend of proven ingredients supports immune development, provides essential energy, and ensures the healthiest start possible for your newborns. First Protector is formulated with B.I.O.Ig—a quality bovine colostrum rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors, and bioactive compounds to provide comprehensive developmental support. The bovine colostrum used in First Protector is sourced from controlled BHV-1 free herds, ensuring a continuous BHV-1 free status.

First Protector also contains TechnoMos®—a yeast cell wall prebiotic that promotes the development of a healthy immune system and reduces the activity of certain pathogenic bacteria. First Protector’s advanced formula includes medium-chain triglycerides to provide easily digestible and highly available energy to newborn ruminants, resulting in more vital and energetic animals.

First Protector also contains a carefully selected blend of vitamins and trace minerals essential for an optimal start in life. The addition of B.I.O.Key® provides highly bioavailable organic trace minerals for proper growth and development of the immune system, bones, and central nervous system. First Protector also provides newborn ruminants with essential vitamins that may be missing if colostrum intake is low or absent.

With First Protector, you can give your newborns the support they need to prevent digestive disorders and ensure a strong passive immunity. Give your young animals the best possible start with First Protector—the ultimate support for young ruminants in the crucial first hours of life.

Feed Intake First – The Top Priority.

The weaning transition is a critical window for piglet development. When feed intake drops, gut integrity follows, creating a cycle of poor performance. Our latest research explores how the umami-rich profile of Kluyveromyces fragilis provides a stable, natural foundation to maintain appetite and support immunity during this high-stress period.

BetaTrace®: Securing the Future of Dairy Performance with Rumen Bypass Betaine.

Standard betaine is often lost to rumen degradation, limiting its ability to support transition cows when they need it most. BetaTrace® overcomes this challenge by complexing betaine with organic trace minerals, allowing it to bypass the rumen and effectively support liver health and metabolism. Discover how this dual-action additive increases methionine availability and boosts lactation performance while delivering essential minerals.
