At EuroTier 2024, the leading international trade fair for professional animal farming and livestock management, Zinpro® showcased its latest innovations, tools, and solutions in animal nutrition. As the leading innovation platform of the global animal production industry, EuroTier provided answers and solutions for current and future challenges.
Visitors found Zinpro experts at booth #C31 in Hall 22, where they discussed how to transform animal health, increase profitability, and drive operational sustainability in dairy, swine, poultry, and aqua businesses. Zinpro also presented a breakthrough in dairy nutrition: Zinpro® IsoFerm®, the essential nutrient herds need.
Zinpro IsoFerm Wins a Silver Medal at the EuroTier Innovation Awards
Zinpro IsoFerm won a Silver Medal at the EuroTier Innovation Awards, recognizing its significant improvements in functionality, efficiency, and sustainability. This award highlights the most innovative products in the animal livestock and management industry.
Zinpro IsoFerm is a proprietary blend of isoacids or branched-chain volatile fatty acids (BCVFAs) that are naturally used by rumen microbes to make microbial protein and energy. This process enhances fibre digestion and microbial protein production, improving rumen function. Isoacids have been recognized as required nutrients for decades, but supplementation in deficient diets was difficult – until now.
Benefits of Zinpro Isoferm
- Superior Transition Cow Performance: Enhanced liver function in early lactation reduces body weight loss, lowers ketosis, and increases glucose production.
- Increased Milk Production: Improves fermentation, achieving 10-12% higher peak milk production.
- Improved Feed Efficiency: Enhances rumen function, improving fiber digestion and protein utilization with less dry matter intake.
- Enhanced Farm Efficiency: Increases income over feed costs and improves the bottom line.
- Environmental Sustainability: Drives operational and environmental sustainability.
Customers and dairy producers implementing Zinpro IsoFerm are seeing productivity and financial benefits in their operations.
“It’s just nice to come in the parlor in the morning and see our cows full of milk. I love it because it means I’m breeding my cows to the potential that they have now. And by using Zinpro IsoFerm it’s really released that potential in them,” says Pippa Tudor, Hallon Farm, UK.
Fuel the Rumen First™ with Zinpro® IsoFerm®
At EuroTier on Tuesday, 12 November 2024, Wim Hessels presented a talk titled “Fuel the Rumen First™ with Zinpro® IsoFerm®.” This session delved into the numerous benefits of Zinpro IsoFerm supplementation for dairy cattle.
Zinpro IsoFerm is not just a new nutrient focusing on rumen function, but a catalyst for improving lactating and transition cow performance. Unlike products that target specific metabolic challenges, Zinpro IsoFerm fuels the rumen to perform more naturally while enabling the cow to be more metabolically efficient.
Research in lactating cows has shown:
- +10-15% in fiber digestion.
- +6% in bacterial nitrogen production.
During the transition period, it helps reduce body weight loss and improves liver function, lowering beta-hydroxybutyrate and yielding up to 6% greater glucose. This results in consistent achievement of 10-12% higher peak milk in controlled research.
Maximizing Broiler Nutrition for Performance
At EuroTier on Wednesday, 13 November 2024, Dr. Cibele Torres presented a talk titled “Maximizing Broiler Nutrition for Performance.” This session explored the numerous benefits of Zinpro® Availa® Zn supplementation for poultry.
Zinpro® Availa® Zn supplementation offers a wide range of benefits, especially when introduced early in life:
- Feed Efficiency: Birds showed a 3.3 to 4.4 improvement in FCR, resulting in better overall growth and productivity.
- Yield Increase: A 1 to 2% relative improvement in yield contributed to better carcass quality.
Skeletal Structure: Zinc helps build a robust skeletal structure to support heavier birds.- Environmental Impact: Birds exhibited an 11% reduction in phosphorus excretion, reducing environmental impact.
Sow Longevity – What’s the Potential?
At EuroTier on Tuesday, 12 November 2024, Dr. Christof Rapp presented a talk titled “Langlebige Sauen – wie viel Potenzial steckt da drin?” highlighting the importance of Zinpro® Availa® Sow supplementation for swine.
Sows with healthy feet stay in the herd longer, are more productive, and use feed more efficiently. Increasing sow longevity is an effective means to improve productivity, profitability, and sustainability of piglet production.
For more than 53 years, Zinpro has improved the health and wellbeing of both animals and people as a pioneer in the research and development of performance trace minerals and innovative nutritional solutions.
With products marketed in more than 70 countries worldwide, Zinpro is the global leader in advancing animal performance through greater nutrition and is dedicated to creating smarter practices for a better, more sustainable world.
