Inform Nutrition’s KERVA is an innovative cost-effective alkaline grain treatment system for storing and preserving home-grown grain, either at harvest or dormant grain post-harvest. Adding KERVA to a grain treatment system nutritionally enhances the grain for feeding to ruminant animals and reduces your input costs by increasing the amount of protein typically by 4 units. The high associated costs involved in maintaining stable rumen health in beef and dairy herds whilst they are consuming large amounts of rapidly fermentable grain starch is a huge problem for farmers, particularly in high performance indoor systems.
The high pH level associated with KERVA grain allows for the inclusion of higher levels of cereals in the diet. With improved feed and fibre digestion this results in an increase in animal productivity and performance. KERVA provides a buffer which allows the rumen to combat excess acidity from rapidly fermentable starches and sugars in the diet which has been proven to result in better finishing performance and milk production and reduces digestive upsets and lameness. Due to this alkaline pH, grain can be safely fed at much higher levels than conventionally treated grain and dietary fibre constraints can therefore be reduced.
KERVA has been formulated with the following key benefits:
Preserving grain & reducing storage losses due to moulds and heating issues
Proving a nutritionally enhanced concentrate that is safer to feed
Reduced ration costs
Improved animal health & wellbeing
KERVA treated grain is the most cost-effective solution for feeding your winter milk stock and finishing beef diets this winter.
