At stages through the year, ruminants need supplementation to be productive. The way the supplement is provided has a big impact on the animal because most supplements are high in starch and adding starch into the rumen can lower the pH, kill off microflora and lead to a decrease in productivity. It can be important to productivity that the supplement is provided in little and often amounts, so the amount of starch digested at any stage is not enough to change the pH much and affect productivity. Our research has shown that supplementing with 45% less feed through Advantage Feeders, compared to trail feeding, can have the same production.
