FINAL REPORT – DECEMBER 2001: The effects of Biosaf Sc47 on the dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) disappearance from four different forages using equine faecal inoculum in an in vitro system
  The beneficial effects of feeding Biosaf Sc47 are well established in both ruminant and non-ruminant farm animals. In beef and dairy cattle, the addition of Biosaf Sc47 to the diet results in greater live weight gains and milk production. It is postulated that these benefits accrue through increased numbers of beneficial rumen micro organisms, stabilisation of rumen pH and a greater production of volatile fatty acids. Addition of Biosaf Sc47 to the diet of lactating sows and newly weaned piglets improves piglet growth rates and reduces post-weaning mortality, probably as a result of improved hindgut health.
