Excell™ is an all-natural lactobacillus fermentation product containing prebiotic components and bioactive metabolytes produced during the fermentation process.

The unique profile of bioactive compounds in Excell™ supports microbial populations in the digestive system of the rumen and intestine and helping the digestive system become more efficient in nutrient digestion and adsorption.

When the rumen microflora population is optimum, cattle are more efficient in their digestion and adsorption of essential nutrients for gain and performance. Excell™ can help maintain desired feed intakes by optimizing rumen function on high grain diets. Research has shown that higher propionate and lower lactate VFA levels improves energy utilization and reduces incidence of bloat and acidosis.

The organic components of Excell™ help optimize the rumen by supporting high populations of rumen microflora and most importantly the fiber digestors. This benefit creates maximum roughage digestibility and dry matter intake which help maintain a more ideal rumen pH.

Excell™ has prebiotic activity in that it can induce the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms. However, it is not a non-digestible fiber that passes undigested through the upper part of the intestine as in the traditional prebiotic definition….…the newer term for Excell™ type products is eubiotic, a product that induces a healthy balance of the micro-flora in the gastrointestinal tract.

A proprietary Lactobacillus strain is grown in stainless steel fermenters to a high cell mass and allowed to ferment producing organic bioactive compounds which benefit animals’ digestive systems.

Excell™ provides additional benefits over yeast products:Provides greater support of optimal microbial populations in both the rumen and intestineRumen VFA profile supports rumen development and efficiencyAn all-natural product providing performance benefits similar to Rumensin and Bovatec.

Excell™ is very safe. Feeding very high levels of Excell™ (over 5 times recommend levels may result in minor looseness of the manure).

Beef-weaning, backgrounding and receiver cattle: 5 grams per head per day.

Excell™ is mostly soluble. The lactobacillus cells are dispersible in water.

Excell™ has a pH of 3-3.3 which maintains stability.

Shelf life is listed at two years.

No, the low pH keeps eliminates all microbial activity.

Yes. The ingredients in Excell™ are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), and are manufactured using current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs).

Lactobacillus acidophilus has been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration, Center for Veterinary Medicine, and found to present no safety concerns when used in direct-fed microbial products.

Success in your operation begins with a foundation of good nutrition and digestive health. When Excell™ is fed to your animals using our Complete Calf Care Program, performance and prevention can be enhanced.
