Digextra® BB
A 100% natural high-performance feed additive for calfs derived from upcycled lignin
Digextra® BB is a preventive nutritional supplement supporting the calf’s development at its most vulnerable stages of life by improving its intestinal integrity and immunity. The resulting positive effects on the animal’s health and productivity help farms’ economic performance by enhancing calves’ growth, reducing the need for medical treatments, and saving farmers’ time.
Benefits
Better animal health management
Digextra® BB’s favourable effect on the calf’s intestinal integrity and immune system increases its strength and growth. A healthy intestinal function is a necessary condition for an optimal nutrition conversion and an efficient immune system which in turn reduces the incidence of many common diseases.
Reduced need for medical treatments
In independent tests Digextra® BB reduced the need for Antibiotics by up to -70%.
Improved intestinal integrity enhances the immune system and reduces
the need for treatments.
Improved weight gain
Digextra® BB supplementation for 91 days produced +7.3 kg weight gain over the control group. 91 days after product supplementation ended increased weight gain advantage grew to +11.5 kgs.
