Direct-fed microbials, commonly known as probiotics, are live beneficial microorganisms administered to animals with the aim of improving their gut flora. These include a variety of bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, as well as yeast strains like Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When introduced into the digestive system of ruminants, DFMs promote a healthy microbial balance, enhance nutrient absorption, and support the overall well-being of the animals.
Volac’s Bacillus based DFM solutions have been formulated to promote optimal rumen performance and maximise ruminant potential.
