.jpg) Modern feeding programs with emphasis on rapidly fermentable carbohydrates can have negative effects on a cow’s digestive tract. Rapidly fermentable carbohydrates cause an increase in lactic acid and other compounds that can lead to subacute and acute rumen acidosis. Carbohydrates can also affect the intestinal tract leading to infection by opportunistic pathogens. Research has shown seeding with the unique strains of bacteria in Priority DCP™ is an important first step in maintaining proper pH through everyday stresses, feed changes, sorting, slugging and the dozens of risk events that occur every day.
Features
Propionibacterium has shown;
- Unique strain designated DCP/P63 is a naturally occurring rumen bacteria selected for the ability to utilize lactic acid produced from the fermentation of highly fermentable feedstuffs such as corn or wheat
- Able to utilize lactic acid under acidotic conditions
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- Live yeast shown to stimulate rumen bacteria and improve dry matter intake, improve fiber digestion and increase milk production
Enzymes
- Amylase which breaks down starch
- Protease which breaks down proteins
- ß-Glucanase which breaks down beta glucans a type of non-starch polysaccharide found in typical dairy feedstuffs
- Hemicellulase which can break down hemicellulose
Benefits
Research has shown:
Stabilizes the rumen by preventing the buildup of lactic acid which leads to acidosis
Ability to convert lactic acid to acetic and propionic acid which are absorbed more efficiently through rumen walls and used to produce fat, protein and energy
Test studies show that feeding Priority DCP™/P63 for 14-21 days (seeding) protects the cow through the entire lactation
Follow seeding of DCP™ with P-One™ fed daily through lactation. These products combine to form the P-One Program™ which helps process rapidly fermentable carbohydrates and helps prevent subacute/acute acidosis
Scientific strain selection using “cutting edge” DNA technology
New molecular-based methods are used to identify (select) unique strains of bacteria (found in the rumen and/or intestinal tract) that correlate to specific (digestive) functions in the animal
- RAPD, Multiplex PCR, DGGE, SSH, Real Time PCR, T-RFLP, FISH, Microarray, Multivariate Statistics/Ordination, Bioinformatics
Includes special moisture scavenger agents for moisture control
Micro-encapsulation methods to ensure stability
BQS (Quality) certified
- Just-in-time manufacturing
- Genetic fingerprinted
- Purity, count, and genotype tested
- High temperature stability tested
- Special barrier packaging for protection and stability of microorganisms
