in fiber transformation
A new gold standard
D A I R Y
Fiber and feed digestion is not always optimal
<65% cell wall digestibility in the rumen, even when rumen function is optimized
Additional starch can reduce digestibility down to 35%
• Greater losses in natural energy from fibrous feed
Digestibility of fiber can markedly affect performance through its influence on the availability of energy and protein
Fiber is a key component of the ruminant diet and subsequently has a notable impact on performance
Digestibility in the rumen*
*Van Soest, 1994
Greater feed utilization with VistaPre-T
VistaPre-T increases feed digestibility and reduces lag time to digestion allowing for greater feed utilization
VistaPre-T applied directly onto TMR
Greater feed utilization
Pre-digestion prior to consumption
Improved performance & feed efficiency
Pits quickly formed on fiber surfaceroughening up feed material
Feed consumption
Faster attachment & colonization of fiber degrading microbes in the rumen
Rumen effects
Reduced lag timeIncreased feed digestibility
VistaPre-T gets to work quickly to reduce % NDF in corn silage

University trial: 36 heifers assigned to two groups (control and VistaPre-T [450 ml/ton] supplied in molasses), 6 weeks before calving. Effects on DMI, blood metabolites and production were measured pre- and post-partum for 8 weeks
Commercial farm trial: 50 heifers split in two groups (control and Vista Pre-T at 680 ml/ton DM.) Effects of DMI, milk yield, fertility and insemination success were measured for 12 weeks.

VistaPre-T – striking an optimal balance
VistaPre-T…
A unique liquid pre-treatment
Creates an opportunity to unlock the energy potential in fiber
Delivers new value from home-grown forage and other fibrous feed
Unlock the potential
VistaPre-T – expect convenience
VistaPre-T can be applied via a number of commercially available application systems, directly into the TMR
It is also stable and efficacious when mixed with other liquids that are commonly used in ruminant nutrition, including:
• Molasses
• Distillery syrups – corn gluten
• Whey
• WaterFor more information on how VistaPre-T can help
