Bovine Boost

A product from Probiotic Revolution https://www.probioticrevolution.co.nz that contain five selected strains of micro-encapsulated probiotic bacteria, a specialised strain of live yeast and five digestive enzymes.

Because the probiotic bacteria are micro-encapsulated, they can pass through calves’ stomachs undigested to get to the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract where 75 – 80% of all mammals’ immune function arises. Here they proliferate, aided by the prebiotic strain of live yeast which provides a source of food for the bacteria.

By seeding the calf’s GI tract with these beneficial bacteria at times of disease challenges, the calf’s own immune system is helped by excluding harmful pathogens and boosting the immune system. This is called active immunity.

The digestive enzymes aid in speeding up the digestive process breaking down proteins and cellulose into single amino acids, and assisting the formation of new protein products, controlling sugar blood levels, and helping in the digestion of fats.

Guar gum
Guar gum is a galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from guar beans that has thickening and stabilizing properties useful in the food, feed and industrial applications.

Guar gum used in oral nutritional compounds;

1. increases the viscosity of the solution, resulting in a decreased rate of stomach emptying,

2. slows the passage and distribution of the solution to the small intestine, thus increasing the potential for absorption of nutrients,

3. increases the time that nutrients contact the absorptive surface of the intestine and provides a more constant influx of nutrients into the body, and

4. provides a "coating" effect on inflamed intestinal mucosa.
