Commercial Swine  
  
Over the past several months, we've been busy with the introduction of our new MaxLean and Parity Plus product lines which have been very well received. The ADM Alliance Nutrition Swine Team appreciates everyone's support as we transition to these new technologies.
  
MotivAte logo 
Although our MotivAte nursery platform is a little over a year old, our nursery data base continues to grow. I wanted to take the opportunity to share a recent close out I received. With a weaning age of about 19 days and pigs on feed for less than 42 days, these pigs weighed sixty pounds at an average age of about sixty days --OUTSTANDING!

Similar to our MotivAte database, we're in  the process of building a database to support our Parity Plus products and programs. By the end of February, we'll have nearly 13,000 sows in a database to document hoof health and lesions in a number of sow herds we currently work with. These herds will be tracked quarterly and we'll look forward to sharing with you the impact Parity Plus products have on hoof health, retention rates and reproductive performance.
  
Easyzyme logo 
Finally, a reminder to review our newest Bottom Line Report on the economic benefits of Easyzyme as we continue to look at opportunities to enhance our customers profitability. Some quick take home messages:
  • Performance of Easyzyme fed pigs without dietary fat was similar or better than those pigs fed diets containing 2% fat.
  • Pig performance suggests that Easyzyme may add as much as 56 Kcal/lb to diets with no added fat.

LEGENDAIRYTM FEEDS FOR LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE

  

INTRODUCING THE NEW LEGENDARY CALF & HEIFER PROGRAM 

 

The financial foundation of the dairy herd is reliant upon adequately preparing heifer replacements to productively enter the lactation string in the most efficient means possible. This requires a nutritional platform that optimizes calf health and performance.

  
To help meet these critical objectives, we are proud to introduce the LegenDairy Calf & Heifer Development Program; a comprehensive line of pelleted calf starters, grower, concentrates and growing heifer products.  Some of the benefits within the calf line include ADM products such as CitriStim®, Prosponse® Yeast, natural-source vitamin E and ADM Sugar Blend.  We are also excited to introduce IntelliBond®* hydroxy forms of copper, zinc, and manganese within the entire LegenDairy line to provide higher mineral potency, stability and less degradation of vitamin E and potentially other biologically-active compounds.

REMINDER:

Prepay orders for silage and hay preservatives are due into the Credit Department by January 31 to receive discounts on our great line-up of ISF, Ecosyl and Lallemand products. 

 

Powersurge banner  

You asked and we have listened.  PowerSurge® Concentrate is now available in 20 lb, re-sealable, heavy-duty, plastic pails out of Quincy.  With no minimum order and a more user-friendly way to handle PowerSurge, you now have a better way to deliver this proven technology.

 

Dairy Solutions PowerSurge Concentrate is a dairy calf supplement designed to be mixed with on-farm milk or pasteurized milk to enhance calf health and performance. It provides a multi-faceted approach to enhance feed digestion, calf health and growth efficiency by combining synergistic technologies, including ADM proprietary ingredients.  

 

Key Points

  • CitriStim - An ADM exclusive, proprietary yeast mannan product which has been shown to be more
  • effective in lowering the E. coli (pathogenic bacteria) population compared to a leading competitive product.* Fewer pathogens mean better health. This yeast mannan provides greater support to intestinal tissues. Calves responded to this yeast mannan with a 12% ADG advantage over controls.*
  • PremiDex™ - This modified starch is an ADM proprietary feed ingredient that provides nutrients needed
  • to establish favorable bacterial populations in the calf's gut, which may lead to better calf performance.
  • Natural-source vitamin E and selenium yeast - Highly bio-available antioxidant sources support immune
  • Function; protects body tissue from oxidative damage; and enhances immune system function, which is
  • especially critical under stress conditions. Research studies show natural-source vitamin E has more potent antioxidant activity compared with synthetic vitamin E.
  • Direct fed microbials - Provide beneficial bacteria recognized for pathogen exclusion properties and ability to produce enzymes that promote feed utilization.
  • Complexed (organic) trace minerals - Complexed (organic) forms of zinc, manganese, copper and iron
  • provide highly bio-available minerals proven to enhance immune function and calf performance.
  • Select mix of plant extracts - Specific mixture of plant extracts used to enhance feed digestion and may be potentially beneficial to the calf's immune system.
Marketing Support:  Bulletin 1703A-1214 is available on the portal.

  The Bottom Line header
  
Background
Easyzyme logo 
The nutrient composition of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a corn by-product sourced from ethanol dry mills, continues to vary depending on the processing changes established by the supplier. These processing variations affect the nutrient profile and product value, creating a need for evaluation of nutritional impact for livestock. The agricultural industry recognizes varying sources of DDGS contain fat differences ranging form 4% to 10.5% and protein levels that vary from 26% to 31.5% which impacts animal performance and the potential of dietary improvement from additives such as Easyzyme®+ (EZ). Table 1 in the report lists cost of dietary fat based on inclusion rates and Easyzyme ROI.
  
Previous research has shown the performance benefits of Easyzyme when appropriate dietary lysine to metabolizable energy (ME) ratios are met. Easyzyme was evaluated in relation to pig performance using diets with defatted DDGS and three inclusions levels (0%, 2% and 4%) of added fat (refer to Figure 1 in the report).
  
Primary Conclusions*
  • EZ improved average daily gain (ADG) and feed to gain ratio (F:G) in pigs fed diets with added fat and performance was similar or better than diets containing 2% added fat.
  • Increasing the level of dietary fat resulted in a linear decrease in average daily feed intake (ADFI) only in the absence of EZ.
  • Efficacy of EZ may be influenced by the amount of added fat and/or resulting level of energy in the diet.
  • The performance of the EZ-fed pigs without added dietary fat was similar or better than those pigs fed diets with 2% fat addition.
  • Pig performance suggests that Easyzyme may add as much as 56 Kcal/lb to diets with no added fat. (Dietary ME increased about 45 Kcal/lb for each 2% of added fat to diets.)

For additional research information and procedure details about this study please refer to the Specialty Ingredients (SI) Easyzyme Research Review available on the SI Portal Page >> Efficacy of Easyzyme Across Three Added Fat Levels, Research Review 08-14. If you have additional questions feel free to contact Joel Wenninghoff, Easyzyme Product Manager.

CitriStim logo 
The peer reviewed article, "CitriStim Improved Performance and Modulated Immune Response Differently in Unstressed vs Challenged Turkeys" was just published in Poultry Science Journal (PSJ). This peer reviewed article was a new study conducted at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, The Ohio State University, Wooster, OH to explore the impact of CitriStim on intestinal immunity in turkey tom poults.

Newly hatched turkey tom poults were fed 0 (Control), 0.1 or 0.2% CitriStim.  At 6 and 15 weeks of age, half the turkeys were injected with 0.25 mg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) per kg of body weight.  The effects of CitriStim on performance, gut morphology, and immune health were measured both during normal conditions and as a response to the LPS immune challenge.
 
The research findings showed...
  • At the end of the feeding period turkeys fed CitriStim exhibited improved turkey growth rate. Compared to Control, addition of 0.1% or 0.2% CitriStim improved feed conversion by 8% and 14%, respectively, from week 12 to 15 of the trial. The feed conversion was improved by 6% and 4.75%, respectively, for the whole cycle (hatch to 15 weeks of age).
  • When the turkey poults were not exposed to immune stress, regulatory T cells and Interleukin 10, both anti-inflammatory immune markers, were increased in the cecal tonsil cells at both 6 and 15 weeks.  This is consistent with observations on broilers.
  • When the poults were exposed to the immune stress of an LPS challenge, CitriStim dramatically increased the birds' inflammatory response at both 6 and 15 weeks-as evidenced by increased macrophage activity in the spleen, greater production of inflammatory immune markers (Interleukin-1), and suppression of anti-inflammatory immune markers (Interleukin -10).
In conclusion, as previously observed in broilers, turkeys fed CitriStim had higher Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria populations in the ceca. Again, these responses are consistent with previous observations on broilers. A summary of the article focusing on key take-home messages from the publication is available at the following link, for your reference.
Please contact us at ani.specialtyingredients@adm.com if you would like to receive reprints of the published article, copies of the new Interpretive Summary/Research Review, or if you have any questions. Feel free to share this information with your customers.

Introducing ADM's New Flight ReadyTM Game Bird Feeds
 
Next week at the North American Gamebird Association (NAGA) annual meeting, ADM will be introducing our new Flight Ready game bird feed line.
 
We are in the process of changing the Pen Pals® Game Bird feeds to the Flight Ready name, and you may have already noticed this change.
 
Also, over the next few weeks we will be working to upgrade game bird feed formulas to provide even better performance and value.  When this is completed, we will have available product manual pages and an updated quick reference guide which will reflect modifications to the products. 
 
In the meantime - if you need a Flight Ready quick reference guide - we can send you copies of an interim guide.  Also - if you are planning on having a booth or table top display at an upcoming game bird meeting - we have new Flight Ready laminated graphics we can provide.
 
This is an exciting time to take advantage of this new line to grow your game bird sales.  Please let us know if we can provide you with assistance.
