the problem
By feeding usual sources of Omega-3 fatty acids (oil seeds, algae, lin seed oil, fish oil, etc.) to ruminants the following may happen:
The Omega-3 fatty acids are saturated by biohydrogenation in the rumen and are therefore not available for the metabolism of the animal.
High dosages of Omega-3 rich ingredients in the feeding ration may harm the rumen fermention processes and may therefore decrease the total digestibility of feed
the solution
ALIFET V OMEGA-3 is processed by a new kind of technology to encapsulate
Omega-3 fatty acids in the microcrystalline ALIFET V particles.
ALIFET V OMEGA-3 the well-known properties of ALIFET V as rumen by-pass energy concentrate are used to pass Omega-3 fatty acids unchanged through the rumen and have them fully available in the metabolism of the animal
advantages
ALIVET V OMEGA3…
…is made from naturally occurring vegetable fat in form of triglycerides and contains highly effective omega-3 fatty acids.
…is rumen-stable and thus, has no negative influence on the digestive processes in rumen. The omega-3 fatty acids in ALIFET V OMEGA-3 by-pass the rumen unchanged
…is highly digestible, so that the omega-3 fatty acids administered in feed are made available to the metabolism of animals in unchanged form
…has a neutral taste and thus animals like to eat it
…supplies highly usable energy and essential omega-3 fatty acids in synergic form
…can be easily mixed and pelletized
(the effects)
…improves the general health of animals
…may increase fertility of animals
…may improve development of fetus
…leads to softer butter fat by increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in the milk
…makes it possible to produce milk with a high percent of omega-3 fatty acids (“ Omega-3 milk”)
