From start to finish, ACTIGEN® is a key part of a strategic feeding program

ACTIGEN® provides a natural, cost-effective means of maintaining gut health and integrity to support overall performance. ACTIGEN® is a safe and traceable technology derived from a selected strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast using a proprietary process developed by Alltech. ACTIGEN® is incorporated into animal diets to support gut integrity, optimize animal performance and help your animals reach their genetic potential.

Invest in your feed and intestinal health

Intestinal bacteria have important effects on the dairy cow, including regulation of cell turnover in the gut wall, competition for nutrients, modification of digestion, competitive exclusion of pathogens, metabolism of mucus secretions, and modulation of mucosal immunity. It is crucial that these elements function to their fullest capability in order to maintain gut health and maximize growth. Closing the gap between ideal and actual performance is essential to maximize profitability.

An undernourished or unstable intestinal tract can lead to the following:

• Poor digestion
• Decreased nutrient absorption
• Increased exposure to toxins and pathogens
• Depressed immunity
• Increased morbidity rates

Failure to adequately address these issues can dramatically impact your operation and profitability.
