Citura Feed Additives/ecencia

esencia cg
esencia cg™ is a unique blend of plant extracts designed to provide lasting benefits when fed to ruminant animals.

esencia cg™ is a unique blend of plant extracts designed to provide lasting benefits when fed to ruminant animals. esencia cg™ is manufactured in a patented process where the plant extract is encapsulated within a fat matrix. This protects the extract from evaporation during the feed manufacturing process. In addition it allows for a slow release of the extract into the rumen providing for effects that last throughout the feeding period.

Benefits of Garlic Oil

In laboratory studies, garlic oil, as used in esencia cg, changed the microbial community in the rumen. This led to lower acetate production and higher propionate and butyrate production in the VFA profile which is energetically favorable to the cow. (Table 1). This is also favorable to both milk yield and protein synthesis.

Benefits of Cinnamaldehyde

Cinnamaldehyde slows down the breakdown of peptides and amino acids through its interaction with certain bacterial species, notably Prevotella. This results in an increased availability of peptides and amino acids, which stimulate the growth of many important rumen bacteria. The production of ammonia, a waste product and pollutant, is reduced. The net result is an increase in the synthesis of microbial protein (Table 2) and a reduction in the concentrartion of urea nitrogen in blood and milk.
