Maximal microbial protein synthesis requires well-synchronized rumen degradation of protein (nitrogen) and carbohydrates (energy). Thus, urea is regularly employed as a feed enhancer to amplify the nitrogen supply of rumen microbes. However, traditional unprotected urea feed additives are often released too quickly in the rumen, reducing their effectiveness.
RumiPro® Urea overcomes this challenge by encapsulating the urea for slow, continuous nitrogen release, ensuring optimal use by rumen microbes. RumiPro® Urea provides a continuous supply of nitrogen for the rumen microbes—it is an important part of a balanced, energy-rich diet for high-yielding dairy cows.
RumiPro® Urea maximizes microbial protein synthesis and improves fiber digestibility. This allows cows to produce more energy from their diet, increasing milk yield and milk components. Microbial protein has high amounts of essential amino acids such as lysine and methionine. Therefore, optimizing rumen fermentation increases the supply of amino acids, improving milk production.
In energy-deficient diets, the addition of RumiPro® Urea as a highly concentrated protein source allows more energy components to be fed, maximizing nutrient intake and improving rumen fermentation efficiency. Using RumiPro® Urea in high energy diets creates space to increase forage and reduces the risk of subacute acidosis.
The key to maximizing dairy profitability is to preserve nutrient levels while carefully managing feed costs. RumiPro® Urea provides a high-quality, slow-release urea supplement that not only improves rumen fermentation, microbial protein synthesis, and milk yield, but also provides your dairy herd with superior nutrition and increased productivity. RumiPro® Urea unlocks the full potential of your dairy herd.
