Can Bovacillus™ probiotic support a balanced gut microbiota?

A balanced gut microbiota plays an important role in supporting animal health and performance.

In this Feed Smarter Spot, Dr. Oscar Queiroz shares research demonstrating how Bovacillus™ probiotic helped promote a more balanced gut microbiota in feedlot cattle. In a South African study, cattle fed Bovacillus™ probiotic over extended periods showed a greater prevalence of beneficial bacteria associated with improved fiber and carbohydrate utilization, the production of beneficial compounds such as CLA, and overall gut health.

These findings highlight how supporting the gut microbiota can contribute to healthier, more resilient cattle.

🐾 Unlocking potential: the emerging role of enzymes in pet food

A must-attend webinar for pet food innovators shaping the next generation of products.

Date: 26 May 2026

Time: 4:00 p.m. CEST (Copenhagen) | 9:00 a.m. CDT (Chicago)

The future of pet food is being redefined. Are you ready to lead it?

Pet food innovation is entering a new era, where performance, palatability, and sustainability must coexist. Enzymes are rapidly emerging as a powerful, science-backed solution to unlock new value across your product portfolio.

From enhancing flavor profiles to improving digestibility and reducing environmental impact, enzymes are no longer just processing aids — they are strategic enablers of differentiation.

Join us to explore how this evolving technology can transform your formulations, processes, and product positioning.

What you will gain

In this webinar, you will:

1. Understand the opportunity

Gain a clear overview of enzymes and their growing relevance in pet food innovation.

1. Elevate product performance and quality

Discover how enzymes can improve palatability, texture, and nutrient availability—key drivers of product success in a competitive market.

1. Drive sustainability and efficiency

Learn how enzymatic solutions can reduce waste, optimize raw materials, and improve processing efficiency.

1. Advance pet health and well-being

Explore how enzymes can support digestibility and overall pet health, meeting the rising expectations of pet owners.

Heat stress remains one of the biggest seasonal challenges impacting dairy productivity, feed efficiency, herd health, and farm profitability. As temperatures rise, dairy cows experience reduced feed intake, impaired rumen function, lower milk yield, and increased physiological stress — all of which can compromise health, performance and profitability. A true biological challenge.

Join this webinar to explore practical nutritional and management strategies that help dairy producers support cow resilience and maintain productivity during periods of heat stress. We will discuss the importance of gut health, nutrient utilization, feed efficiency, and microbial balance in supporting dairy cows under challenging environmental conditions.

The session will also highlight emerging research on Bacillus probiotics, and their role in supporting digestive function, feed efficiency, and dairy cow performance. Research has demonstrated improvements in milk production efficiency, nutrient digestibility, and overall herd productivity when Bacillus probiotics are included in dairy feeding programs.  

Key topics include:

• The impact of heat stress on dairy cow physiology and productivity

Designed for nutritionists, veterinarians, dairy consultants, and progressive dairy producers, this webinar provides science-backed insights and practical tools to help optimize herd performance during heat stress periods.

Across the seasons, every detail matters. Every decision counts. Nature provides a strong foundation. Biology helps unlock its full potential. Healthy calves grow. Healthy cows produce more milk. In fact, with Bovacillus™ probiotic, they could produce up to 1 kg more milk per cow per day. SiloSolve™ FC inoculant helps reduce silage dry matter waste by up to 30%, while allowing you to flexibly open your bunker in as little as 7 days and keep silage fresh for 1 extra month.

Dairy farming is more than work. It is dedication. For thriving herds. For stronger farms. For generations to come.

This #DairyMonth, we want to celebrate the people behind every healthy herd, every early morning, every feeding decision, and every liter of milk.

To the dairy farmers, veterinarians, nutritionists, and farm teams — thank you.

We invite our community to share a short thank-you letter to the people driving dairy forward every day. These messages will become part of a special Dairy Month Thank You Booklet celebrating the dedication behind the industry.

Because dairy is more than production.
It is care, commitment, dedication and generations of hard work.

Most people never see dairy at 4:32 in the morning. They don’t hear the boots on concrete, or the first gate opening in the dark. They don’t see the lights already on hours before sunrise. But someone does. Every day. Not because it’s easy, but because it matters. Because cows don’t wait for weekends. Feed doesn’t care if it’s Christmas. And biology never clocks out. So while the world is still sleeping, someone is already checking silage, watching the herd, reading the weather, listening for the sound that says something’s not right. Dairy is a thousand decisions that no one notices — a balance between performance and care, between today’s pressure and tomorrow’s farm. And the people who do it? They don’t ask for applause. Just partners who understand what’s really behind every drop. The long days. The hard seasons. The responsibility of getting it right again and again and again. Because milk doesn’t start in a carton. It starts before daylight. In soil. In feed. In herd health. In the decision to show up every single day, even when nobody sees it. Together in every drop.

Every June, we celebrate the people behind it all. Join us for World Milk Day on June 1 and throughout the entire year as we recognize the dedication, resilience, and innovation that keep dairy moving forward every single day. From the farm to the future of sustainable production, every drop tells a bigger story. Visit our landing page to explore the science, the solutions, and the shared commitment helping support the next era of dairy performance and care.
