XLR8® RUMEN

XLR8® Rumen is a patented biological rumen catalyst formulated to stimulate the natural rumen microbiome. Rather than introducing large populations of microbes, it supports the activity of the existing rumen microbial community responsible for fibre digestion and nutrient utilisation. This next-generation biological approach helps optimise rumen function and feed utilisation, making XLR8® Rumen a practical solution for livestock producers seeking to support digestive efficiency and productive performance.

Yes. XLR8® Rumen is suitable for use in lactating dairy cows at a recommended application rate of 2 mL of concentrate per head per day. This low-dose application makes it simple to incorporate into existing feeding or milking routines while supporting normal rumen microbial activity. Always follow label directions and integrate XLR8® Rumen into a balanced nutrition and herd management program for best results.

XLR8® Rumen is designed for simple, practical on-farm use. The recommended application rate is 2 mL of concentrate per animal per day. For dairy operations, the concentrate can be diluted with water and delivered through a Dosatron® or similar dosing system during milking, ensuring each animal consistently receives the correct daily dose. Its liquid formulation integrates easily into existing management systems with minimal additional labour.

No. Unlike some biological products, XLR8® Rumen does not require refrigeration, making storage, transport and on-farm handling simple and convenient. Its stable formulation allows producers to store and use the product under normal conditions without specialised refrigeration, improving flexibility and reducing the logistical challenges often associated with biological feed additives.

XLR8® Rumen has a shelf life of more than five years when stored according to label recommendations. Combined with its no-refrigeration requirement, this provides excellent storage flexibility and reduces the risk of product wastage. Producers can confidently keep stock on hand and use it as required throughout the season without concerns about short storage windows or maintaining cold storage.
