Less Methane and More Milk at a working Australian Dairy Farm
A published university-supervised trial was conducted on a commercial dairy farm in Gippsland, Australia. Tracked 31 cows before and after supplementation with Polygain. Results included: Methane reduced by 35%; Milk production increased by 2L (+8%) ; Somatic Cell Count halved
Polygain™ Boosts Lamb Growth and Slashes Methane Emissions
Lambs fed a diet supplemented with Australian-grown sugarcane-derived polyphenols (Polygain™) grew up to an extra 130 grams per day and produced half the methane of lambs fed a standard diet. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne. It was presented at the 2022 Nutrition Society Of Australia Conference, with the abstract published in Proceedings of the Nutrition Society.
Potential to support shrimp against EHP parasite
An exciting recent in vitro trial demonstrated the ability of Polygain to inhibit the extrusion of EHP spores.
Methane Reduction Demonstrated in Ruminal Batch Culture Trial
Methane reduction potential verified in standard laboratory technique. The proportion of methane gas reduced for both feedlot and Rhode grass diets
On-farm interventions with Polygain assists dairy cows to recover from milk production drops
As part of regular monitoring on working Australian dairy farms, Polygain was included as an intervention option when milk production rapidly reduced. In many examples, after adding Polygain to the diet, milk production returned to prior levels.
Up to 3x growth at a commercial dairy-beef operation
A commercial trial on a dairy farm using 160 male dairy calves assessed calf health and growth benefits. Those fed an initial and daily ration of Polygain achieved 3x average daily gain versus control calves.
Extra growth and better feed conversion in Australian Abalone
All abalone on a Polygain diet were larger than the control. The optimal inclusion rate was 0.8%, with Abalone also improving feed conversion.
Additional Calf Growth On Working Dairy Farm
Calves with 1% Polygain included in their diet were over 6% larger at the end of a 38-day trial.
Natural sugarcane feed material (Polygain™) matches antibiotics in a coccidiosis challenge trial
Polygain has the potential to reduce antibiotics in poultry production; as demonstrated by a recent trial involving over 500 broiler chickens, the feed conversion salinomycin and Polygain doses over 0.25% were similar.
Lower Methane Emissions From Pregnant Dairy Cows
On-farm trial in pregnant dairy cows nearing calving showing both a reduction in methane emissions and a lower relative abundance in methane-producing bacteria.
Chickens perform better in heat stress conditions when fed Polygain
Polygain reduced the respiration rate (panting) and increased birds' average daily gain under heat stress conditions.
Polygain supports horse to gain condition
A horse in the NSW Hunter Valley area was struggling to maintain a healthy weight. The owner has tried a variety of diet changes. After one day on Polygain, the Poo firmed up and over a month-long period, the horse gained significant condition.
Better meat quality and shelf life in broiler chickens fed Polygain
Meat quality and shelf-life are increasingly crucial for the poultry meat supply chain. Polygain demonstrated an ability to extend breast meat's lipid stability, a determinate of shelf-life. More broadly, meat quality indicators improved, including tenderness and drip loss metrics.
Natural product (Polygain™) inhibits parasite responsible for Coccidiosis, a disease ravaging the poultry industry
Polygain significantly reduced the number of viable parasites across the most common six coccidia species. For each species, Polygain performed in line with the antibiotic salinomycin
Additional Growth In Atlantic Salmon
An Atlantic salmon trial was conducted at Deakin University. Additional weight gain and improved FCR was indicated in both salt and freshwater.
Polygain reduces methane-producing microbes in spelling horses
The relative abundance of methane-producing bacteria was over 60% lower after adding Polygain to the diet. The methane-producing bacteria abundance returned to prior levels after Polygain supplementation stopped. Species of gut bacteria included those associated with increased production of short-chain fatty acids.
Larger prawns and improved efficiency in an Australian research trial
A Black Tiger prawn trial was conducted at James Cook University in Australia. The trial demonstrated additional weight gain in a dose-dependant manner with improvements in feed conversion and less feed waste. Polygain also improved the survival rate in shrimp for the final five-week period.
