The truth for all producers – profitable production begins with healthy animals. Gut health is a concern that is common across all species of animal production from cattle, to swine to poultry to aquaculture. A healthy digestive system leads to better nutrient absorption, optimal feed utilization and improved animal performance. The NEXT ENHANCE® family of products are specially formulated to promote a healthy gut environment producing healthier animals. They also are protected by NaturCoat™, a microencapsulation system that assures controlled release in the digestive tract for optimal impact. The active ingredients in the NEXT ENHANCE 300 include garlic oil and cinnamaldehyde. Garlic oil can help enhance propionate production while reducing methane production. It has also been shown to inhibit the production of methane, saving energy that can be utilized for growth and production and simultaneously limiting the emission of greenhouse gas. Cinnamaldehyde slows down the breakdown of peptides and amino acids which results in increased availability of peptides and amino acids with lower ammonia production. As a result, a waste product and pollutant is reduced and protein utilization is increased. The net result is more metabolizable protein delivered to the small intestine. Together, these two plant ingredients affect rumen fermentation to improve the efficiency of energy and nitrogen utilization. The overall nutritional situation and health of the animal improves due to more efficient utilization of feedstuffs. The active ingredients in NEXT ENHANCE 150 include thymol and carvacrol. NEXT ENHANCE 150 has the optimum ratio of thymol and carvacrol to stimulate the beneficial gut microbes, stimulate the creation of lactic acid leading to a reduction of pathogen load, improving performance while increasing animal health. NEXT ENHANCE 150 optimizes feed conversion, maximizes average daily gain and reduces unspecific diarrhea.
