BioCell®: Helping Ruminants Get More from Grass

BioCell®: Helping Ruminants Get More from Grass

Grass is the foundation of profitable ruminant production, but its nutritional value depends on how efficiently animals can utilise it. Supporting rumen health, optimising fibre digestion and improving feed efficiency are essential to maximise the value of grazed and conserved forage throughout the grazing season. As grass maturity, weather conditions and pasture management continuously influence forage quality, maintaining an efficient rumen becomes the key to achieving consistent animal performance.

The challenge is not simply producing more grass—it is extracting more value from every kilogram consumed. Achieving this starts with one critical factor: an efficient, healthy rumen.

Dairy and Grass

Supporting Rumen Function

BioCell® is Mazzoleni’s specially developed live yeast for ruminants, containing the authorised strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae DBVPG 48 SF.

Designed to support the natural microbial population of the rumen, BioCell® helps maintain efficient fermentation and fibre digestion, allowing ruminants to adapt more effectively to changing forage quality throughout the grazing season.

BioCell® supports rumen function by:

  • Removing oxygen from the rumen.
  • Supporting anaerobic fermentation.
  • Stimulating fibrolytic (fibre-digesting) bacteria.
  • Enhancing L-lactate utilisation.
  • Helping maintain rumen pH stability.

Together, these actions promote a healthier, more efficient rumen capable of extracting greater value from every kilogram of forage.

 

Making Grass Work Harder

Grass is one of the greatest assets on any livestock farm, but its true value depends on how efficiently it is utilised.

By improving fibre digestion and supporting a stable rumen environment, BioCell® helps livestock producers maximise the nutritional value of grazed grass and conserved forage, supporting:

  • Improved fibre utilisation.
  • Better feed efficiency.
  • Enhanced feed conversion.
  • Increased average daily gain (ADG).
  • Improved milk production where applicable.
  • More consistent animal performance throughout the grazing season.

Supporting rumen function means more of the nutrients already present in the diet are converted into productive energy, allowing animals to achieve more from the same forage base.

 

Consistent Performance Throughout the Season

From lush spring grass to more mature summer and autumn swards, forage quality is constantly changing. Maintaining a stable and efficient rumen helps minimise the impact of these seasonal fluctuations, supporting more consistent performance throughout the grazing season.

Suitable for dairy, beef, sheep and goat enterprises, BioCell® provides practical nutritional support for producers looking to improve forage utilisation, enhance feed efficiency and maximise the return from home-grown forage.
