Solutrace Metaboliser Plus with Rumenox provides more than just the basics for all year round

Rumenox is a rumen modifier that provides more energy to dairy cows. This energy response is equivalent to feeding an extra 0.5kg to 1.0kg of dry matter. Its mode of action is clearly understood and there is a wealth of research on this technology both internationally and in New Zealand pasture systems.

FEATURES

Rumenox is an effective bloat control strategy.

Years of observational evidence strongly suggest that Rumenox outperforms bloat detergents when relying on water medication for controlling bloat. Over 90% of farmers use Rumenox for bloat challenges a combination of the two is recommended as they have unique modes of action.

Cow condition.

Introducing your cows to Rumenox allows them to digest their feed more efficiently. Individual cows then determine where this energy is partitioned depending on their requirements at the time. There is significant evidence in NZ pasture-based systems of this effect. New Zealand trials using this technology have shown a 20kg improvement in live weight, equivalent to half a body condition score, from calving through to mating.

BENEFITS

Ketosis Prevention

Subclinical ketosis is an energy-robbing disease that has been associated with increased endometritis and a decreased 6-week in-calf rate. The cost per cow across a whole herd when the average incidence is calculated is $24.

Rumenox significantly reduces the incidence of subclinical ketosis in dairy cows by making more energy available and reducing blood ketone levels, this effect has been shown in a number of NZ studies.

For optimum results, Rumenox should be introduced pre-calving, or if not practical it should be administered into the stock water as soon as the dairy herd return to the milking platform in early spring.

ADVANTAGES

  • Superior animal health
  • Maintains condition
  • Better conception
  • High in organic copper
  • Optimal immunity

What the research shows

  • A meta-analysis found that monensin improved energy metabolism in lactating dairy cows, reducing blood BHBA, acetoacetate and NEFA, while increasing glucose, with stronger BHBA responses reported in early lactation and pasture-based trials. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2007-0607)
  • A New Zealand pasture-fed dairy cow study found that pre-calving controlled-release monensin capsules reduced the cumulative incidence of subclinical ketosis in mainly pasture-fed spring-calving cows. (DOI: 10.1080/00480169.2014.999842)
  • A New Zealand pasture-fed dairy cow study found that a liquid monensin formulation reduced bloat score and reduced the number of cows needing therapeutic bloat treatment while grazing clover-based pasture. (DOI: 10.1080/00480169.2000.36163)
  • A meta-analysis found that monensin increased milk yield and improved milk production efficiency in lactating dairy cows, although responses varied across studies and diets. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2007-0608)
  • A meta-analysis found that chromium supplementation increased dry matter intake and milk production in lactating dairy cows, with responses influenced by supplementation timing, chromium form and parity. (DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1076777)
  • A New Zealand dairy cow study on the South Island found that supplementing complexed zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt improved lactation and reproductive performance, and lifted copper and vitamin B12 reserves in intensively grazed lactating cows. (DOI: 10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2006.10.006)
Limits

These studies test monensin, controlled-release monensin capsules, liquid monensin, chromium supplementation and complexed trace minerals, not this specific Agvance product.

Study details and links

What was tested

Research on monensin supplementation in lactating and pasture-fed dairy cows, monensin for subclinical ketosis and bloat control, chromium supplementation in lactating dairy cows, and complexed trace mineral supplementation in grazed New Zealand dairy cows.

Blood BHBA, acetoacetate, NEFA, glucose, subclinical ketosis incidence, bloat score, need for therapeutic bloat treatment, milk yield, milk components, milk production efficiency, dry matter intake, reproductive performance, copper reserves and vitamin B12 reserves.

  • Evidence supports the use of monensin for rumen fermentation, energy metabolism, subclinical ketosis risk reduction and bloat control, alongside chromium and complexed trace mineral strategies, not Solutrace Metabolizer Plus with Rumenox on its own.
  • Responses depend on stage of lactation, pre-calving timing, dose, delivery method, water intake consistency, pasture type, bloat risk, energy status, basal diet, trace mineral status, chromium form, cow parity, region and wider herd management.
