Measuring the nutrient value of a dairy diet to increase farm profitability

Selko IntelliBond’s increased bioavailability and the positive impact on fibre digestion and gut barrier function support well-being and optimizes animal productivity of dairy cows.

Adding Selko LactiBute to the ration increases milk production while increasing fat and protein levels at the same time. This results in an increase of Energy Corrected Milk of 0.85-1 kg per head per day.

Adding Selko Fytera Balance to the ration of dairy cattle increases milk production while reducing emission of enteric methane at the same time. This reduces the dairy carbon footprint per kg of milk produced by dairy cows.

Selko TMR® is a blend of organic acids that reduces the growth of yeasts, moulds and bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae like Salmonella. As a result of the reduction in growth of micro-organisms, increases in temperature of the TMR are delayed by at least 6 hours in silages treated with Selko-TMR, resulting in a higher dry matter intake.

Selko Renergy® is a blend of organic acids that modifies rumen fermentation by increasing propionate production. Propionate is a key source of energy for ruminants and is also the most efficient volatile fatty acid (VFA) produced in the rumen. More energy from propionate in the rumen increases production efficiency.

Even the best heat stress control programme cannot always fully prevent problems with heat stress in dairy cows. Supplementation with Selko NutriCool can help to avoid a drop in dry matter intake and loss of milk production as a result of heat stress.

Selko Toxo® is a mycotoxin mitigation product for dairy cows that contains a mycotoxin binder, bentonite with at least 50% smectite, which has strong binding capacity for aflatoxins, ergot toxines and LPS. It also contains glucose biopolymers which improve gut wall protection by maintaining tight junctions. This reduces the uptake of mycotoxins into the blood stream of dairy cows.

Selko Toxo-XL® is a mycotoxin mitigation product for dairy cattle. It contains bentonite with at least 50% smectite, which has strong binding capacity for aflatoxins, ergot toxines and LPS, glucose biopolymers which improve gut barrier function of dairy cows, reducing the uptake of mycotoxins in combination with purified β-glucans that improve the immune function of dairy cows.

Discover the power of Selko Toxo XXL, a mycotoxin mitigation product. Packed with a potent blend of bentonite, β-glucans, and antioxidants, this solution strengthens gut barrier function, boosts immunity, and reduces the impact of immune activation. Our trials prove it: Selko Toxo XXL not only increases milk production but also enhances fertility in dairy cows exposed to high Fusarium mycotoxin levels.

Selko TOXO-MX is part of our Selko Mycotoxin Risk Management Programme and consists of smectite clays, which have shown to have a high binding capacity for aflatoxin B1. With the bioavailability of aflatoxin B1 reduced, the production of aflatoxin M1 is diminished, meaning lower levels are excreted into the milk.
