Optisync is Alltech’s safe and traceable non-protein nitrogen (NPN) source with controlled release technology designed to provide a concentrated source of rumen degradable protein. Due to the high concentration of nitrogen, a small amount of Optisync can provide the equivalent of a larger amount of vegetable protein, allowing for customisation of the diet, to support higher production or potentially reduce feed costs.
Benefits of Optisync:
- Supports efficient rumen function and fibre digestion.
- Slow release technology provides a safe and constant level of ammonia to the rumen environment
- Excellent rumen degradable protein source
- Increased daily weight gain
How does it differ from urea?
Urea releases a lot of NH₃ in a very short time. Rumen bacteria can’t use enough of it, before it gets absorbed, ending up in the blood. This can be dangerous as too much ammonia in the blood can lead to urea poisoning.
The technology used in manufacturing Optisync controls the release of nitrogen, in such a way for the rumen bacteria to utilise it effectively, reducing the risk of high blood ammonia levels and energy sparing effect from not having to remove excess NH₃ from the body.
