Biosolutions for Beef

Novonesis is a company that emerged from the 2023 merger of Chr. Hansen and Novozymes. Technical Services Manager Dr. Greg Eckerle said its probiotic and enzyme biosolutions improve cattle health, which in turn increases their performance. “By utilizing a direct-fed microbial probiotic, we’ll see improvement in average daily gain across the sector, which basically supports a normal lifestyle for the animal by focusing on gastrointestinal health.” Ultimately, the rate of gain will increase with a healthier animal. “The bacteria work to secrete enzymes in products that make efficiency numbers and get the digestability of the feed moving forward,” said Eckerle. “When we look at it from sustaining normal within the gastrointestinal tract, we work with good bacteria to help negate the effects of negative bacteria by keeping the animal in a more normal state.”
