Introducing BioBalance Next-Gen Postbitotic Liquid, featuring the powerful inclusion of Diamond V, a potent fermentation by-product brimming with beneficial metabolites that actively support livestock health and performance. Our innovative formula incorporates natural plant-derived Mono propylene glycol, sugars, and oligosaccharides, providing a unique base product that delivers energy and fosters optimal development of ruminal flora due to its intricate sugar composition.

For many years, the microbiome's significance has been overlooked due to its invisibility to the naked eye. Animals with an optimal microbiome tend to outperform their counterparts. A balanced microbiome leads to fewer health setbacks, faster rumen development, easier transitions off milk, increased weight gains, and the ability to fulfill genetic potential efficiently.

BioBalance Next Gen's mechanism of action is meticulously crafted to expedite the development of the rumen and gastrointestinal system. It focuses on enhancing the growth and functionality of rumen papillae, facilitating a smoother transition to solid feeds, and amplifying mucosal immunity. These breakthroughs in nutritional science provide an innovative avenue for farmers seeking to enhance herd health and performance, all while aligning with the growing emphasis on sustainable farming practices and responsible antibiotic use.

A symbiotic relationship exists between a healthy gut, a balanced microbiome, and improved animal well-being and performance. This has spurred a shift towards products capable of nourishing, colonizing, or positively influencing the gut environment.

For optimal benefits from this bioactive chain, careful considerations must be taken:

• Selective Prebiotics: Choose prebiotics that selectively feed beneficial bacteria without promoting harmful ones.
• Viable Probiotics: Ensure probiotics are viable and capable of establishing themselves within the gut environment to rebalance the microbiota and outcompete undesirable bacteria.
• Consistent Postbiotic Administration: Postbiotics require regular and consistent administration. They are products of controlled processes designed for specific targets, addressing health challenges, life stages, or species-specific issues.

​The Role of Postbiotics in Gut Health

Understanding the significance of postbiotics in gut health involves considering various theoretical perspectives:

• Biological Consistency through Controlled Production: Postbiotics are non-viable bacterial products obtained through controlled fermentation processes, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.​
• Influence on Host Physiology via Regular Delivery: Consistent administration is crucial for sustained health benefits, potentially offering cumulative effects.
• Immune Modulation: In young ruminants, postbiotics can enhance the developing immune system.
• Digestive Efficiency: Postbiotics contribute to the development of a healthy rumen, crucial for efficient digestion of fibrous plant material.
• Stress Alleviation: They may mitigate physiological responses to stressors like weaning or environmental changes.
• Target Specificity: Postbiotics can be tailored to address specific health challenges, life stages, or particular species, making them highly versatile.
• Growth Promotion: In young ruminants, certain postbiotics increase average daily weight gain, a vital metric for livestock productivity.
• Reduced Antibiotic Use: Amid concerns about antibiotic resistance, postbiotics offer an alternative strategy for disease prevention and treatment.

Postbiotics emerge as a potent class of additives, providing a range of benefits finely tuned to meet specific animal needs or address health concerns. While not a substitute for antibiotics or anthelmintics, postbiotics significantly contribute to digestive health, gut integrity, microbial diversity, and immune system support. They represent a valuable strategy in the pursuit of sustainable and responsible animal husbandry practices.

Usage Rates:

• Calves: 20ml/day for 28 days
• Lambs: 4ml/day for 28 days
• Up to 40ml/head/day for calves recovering from illness or veterinary treatment.

Unveiling the World of Postbiotics

In the realm of animal health and performance, attention often gravitates towards the trio of nutritional aids: prebiotics, probiotics, and the less acknowledged but equally vital, postbiotics. Prebiotics serve as the sustenance for beneficial gut bacteria, while probiotics consist of living micro-organisms that enhance or restore gut flora. Postbiotics, on the other hand, represent non-living substances derived from these probiotic organisms, offering health benefits such as fortified gut integrity and immune system enhancement.

Natural Stock Cares latest offering, BioBalance Next-Gen, harnesses the potent advantages of postbiotics to stimulate the development of the rumen and gastrointestinal tract. This results in amplified feed intake, improved weight gain, and a strengthened immune system. Focused on the gut – the dwelling place of 99% of the microbiome – this forward-thinking product is tailored to the unique needs and challenges of young ruminants.

The postbiotics in BioBalance Next-Gen undergo a meticulous production process, ensuring consistency and targeted administration for optimal effectiveness.

Unraveling BioBalance Next-Gen’s Efficacy

• Rumen Micro-organisms Modification: Alters the microbial population to favor beneficial bacteria, including fibrolytic and lactate-consuming varieties, while promoting an increase in rumen fungi.
• Rumen Environment Enhancement: Stabilizes rumen pH, boosts volatile fatty acid (VFA) and microbial protein (MP) production.
• Intestinal Efficiency: Amplifies feed digestibility within the intestine, facilitating superior nutrient uptake.
• Palatability and Energy Supply: Boasts a distinctive base product with Mono propylene glycol from natural plant origins, accompanied by a syrup of sugars and oligosaccharides. This combination fosters ruminal flora development and helps maintain optimal blood sugar levels.
• Nutrient and Metabolite Supply: Provides essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that nourish the rumen and its micro-organisms, enhancing overall metabolic activity.

BioBalance Next-Gen transcends traditional supplementation, offering an integrated approach that includes Diamond V, a product rich in various beneficial metabolites crucial for livestock health and performance. This product redefines animal nutrition by prioritizing nourishment and creating an optimal environment for growth and health, setting a new benchmark in the field
