By Alltech
Last reviewed: February 2026
Proprietary S. cerevisiae strain 1026 yeast culture that improves fiber digestion and stabilizes rumen fermentation.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture from Alltech that stabilizes rumen pH, improves fiber digestion, and increases milk yield, backed by 35+ years of research.
Key Features
- Rumen Stabilization: Reduces pH fluctuations by stimulating lactic acid-utilizing bacteria
- Fiber Digestion: Promotes cellulolytic bacteria for better forage breakdown and nutrient utilization
- Milk Yield Increase: Research-backed increase in milk production and improved components (fat, protein)
- Carbon Trust Certified: Only yeast culture validated to reduce cattle methane emissions and nitrogen excretion
- Low Inclusion Rate: 10 g/head/day (2 lbs/ton of TMR) keeps cost per cow manageable
Advanced Features
- Optigen: Controlled-release non-protein nitrogen source for improved rumen ammonia utilization
- Mycosorb A+: Broad-spectrum mycotoxin binder using yeast cell wall technology
- Bioplex Minerals: Organic trace minerals for improved bioavailability
Ideal For
Farm Types: Commercial dairies, Organic operations, Herds with rumen health challenges, Sustainability-focused operations
