Think about the car you drive – combustion and digestion are basically chemical reactions and these parallels are valuable in understanding how Mech-fiber™ works.

In recent years, car manufacturers have invested £millions in increasing the efficiency of engines so they are able to release more energy from fuel and produce less emissions in the process.

In the same way modern fuel delivery systems create the optimum mix of fuel and air in the combustion chamber to increase the efficiency of the burn, Mech-fiber™ increases the efficiency of digestion by creating a more consistent distribution of feed materials, specific fibre types, enzymes and microflora throughout the rumen.

In your car, this extra energy release means that less fuel is required to drive a certain number of miles. In the cow, it means you can get more production from a given amount of feed – and at the same time with fewer ’emissions’ of methane and manure. Its not about changing the chemical formulation – the octane rating - of our fuel: its about manipulating the physical form of it in the rumen so it is accessed more efficiently by enzymes and fermentative bacteria so they can get more of the chemical nutrients from the ration.
