Reactive oxygen species are increased during metabolic processes or due to lipid peroxidative substances. Antioxidants scavenge these highly damaging molecules, protecting vital cells and tissues.
Functions to help regulate osmotic pressure and maintain cellular homeostasis, particularly in response to environmental stressors. In the intestine, this function helps maintain intestinal integrity.
Strengthening of mucosal linings by supporting tight junction formation, immune response, epithelial regeneration, and mucous secretion. This mechanism prevents harmful substances from entering the blood system.
Microbial molecules stimulate immune function resulting in better immune regulation, response, and defense. Overall, this enhances the resistance to harmful bacteria and related infections.

When environmental or metabolic stressors exceed a cow's natural adaptive capacity, the herd’s health and productivity are at risk. RumiPro® Adapt is a multidimensional solution designed to reinforce natural resilience during the transition period and environmental heat stress. This innovative formulation features a synergistic blend of five key components: a long-lasting rumen buffer, betaine, chili extract (Capsicum), rumen-protected grape extract, and BetaTrace® Zinc.
Central to this formula is the "2-in-1" benefit of BetaTrace® Zinc, which combines the nutritional value of betaine with highly bioavailable zinc to support animal well-being and performance.
The scientific mode of action focuses on stabilizing the internal environment. The rumen buffer provides a highly efficient, long-acting support that is twice as effective as sodium bicarbonate, optimizing rumen pH and reducing the risk of acidosis. Betaine acts as a powerful osmolyte to stabilize cell membranes and promote the synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs), which protect against thermal damage and enhance epithelial barrier function. Meanwhile, Capsicum and rumen-protected grape extract deliver potent antioxidant protection to counteract oxidative stress and exert anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, Capsicum is known for its’ vasodilatory effects facilitating heat dissipation.
These targeted actions lead to measurable results in animal performance. In practical trials, RumiPro® Adapt helped cows maintain stable milk production during high-stress periods. Early-lactation cows even showed a significant increase in milk production of up to +2.2 kg/day under moderate heat stress conditions. In addition, a markedly positive effect on robotic efficiency was observed due to higher milk production per robot visit. Another benefit worth mentioning is a positive effect on udder health, which is reflected by a noticeable reduction in somatic cell count.
RumiPro® Adapt offers great flexibility for farm management. It can be easily mixed into Total Mixed Rations (TMR) or used as a top-dressing. As it replaces bicarbonate, it requires no extra space in the ration, making it a sustainable and efficient addition to feeding concepts.
