Ag Logic research data on lucerne

Seedling Vigour / establishment: Replicated Trial Independently Conducted by Ag Logic (July 2016) Aim: Determine the effect of Great Land on lucerne seedling growth and vigour. Design: Randomised pot trial, 10 replicate (pots) for each treatment. Each pot contained 4 lucerne plants. Same potting mix and fertiliser regimes across treatments.Treatments: Control: No Great Land® applied Treatment: Great Land® applied at 4 leaf stage (during establishment), 20 L/ha* diluted 1 in 10. Assessments: Harvested plants at 50 days after sowing. Measurement of root weights and plant weights. Assessment and analysis conducted on 10 plants for each replicate, after thinning to achieve uniformity between treatments. Results: Statistically significant results were reported for Great Land® treated lucerne. Above ground portions weighed on average 1.47 g, 27% more than the control at 1.16 g/plant. Root weights averaged 0.75 g/plant, 44% better than control plant at 0.52 g/plant. Total plant weight (above ground [...]

MYLO® improves ADG in steers at commercial feedlot in NSW

The aim of this trial was to determine the effect of a commercially available DFM containing three strains of Lactobacillus bacteria (MYLO®, Terragen Biotech, Australia) on the liveweight gain, ADG and FCR of steers in a feedlot. Lot feeding plays an essential role in maintaining and growing the domestic and international consumer market for quality beef year-round. Challenges in lot feeding include maximising animal health and productivity results amidst pressures to reduce antibiotic and chemical usage and minimise environmental impact. Direct fed microbials (DFMs) have emerged as a potential solution offering enhanced performance and improved health outcomes, without the risk of residues. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of a DFM (MYLO®) on liveweight gain, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and health outcomes in feedlot cattle. ADG and FCR are key metrics representing the amount of daily weight gain and the amount [...]

+10.1% increase in milk yield postpartum, improved metabolic profile & changes to faecal microbiome, Harrisville QLD

Effect of Gestational Direct-Fed Microbials Supplementation on the Metabolic Profile in Periparturient Dairy Cows Orlando Ramirez-Garzon1, David Barber3, Loreto Meneses4, Martin Soust1, 5, 6 Simple Summary: This study at a commercial dairy farm in Queensland, Australia, evaluated the effects of a lactic acid bacteria-based direct-fed microbial (DFM) on periparturient dairy cows. A total of 150 Holstein cows were divided into control and DFM groups, with the latter receiving a basal diet supplemented with three strains of bacteria from the genus formerly known as Lactobacillus but recently assigned to the new Lentilactobacillus and Lacticaseibacillus genera. Blood samples were collected to assess metabolic profiles, revealing higher serum glucose, NEFA, and chloride levels in the DFM cows. The DFM cows showed higher pre- and post-calving glucose levels and greater body weight. While milk production was slightly higher in DFM cows, the milk protein percentage was higher in the control cows. Overall, DFM [...]

University of Queensland Research Data on Great Land Plus® Pastures

Independent Field Research Data Dec 2016 Pasture The effect of a commercial probiotic on milk quality of dairy cows Full paper is published in the Journal of Dairy Science, 2019. (Manuscript ID JDS-18-15411.R3) Controlled Study - Independently Conducted by University of Queensland Aim: This extensive and scientifically robust study aimed to determine the effect of Great Land® treated pastures on milk production, milk quality and animal health in a commercial dairy. Study Online: A controlled, randomised block design study was conducted on a commercial dairy farm at Harrisville, southeast Queensland. Eleven paddocks each of approximately 3 hectares with stablished ryegrass based pastures were each divided into two sub-paddocks. Half of the sub-paddocks were treated with Great Land® and the other half were untreated. All other practices, for example fertiliser, irrigation and grazing practices were applied consistently across the treated and control study areas. Paddocks selected for the study had [...]
