Performance & Production

Research driven Oxyntra delivers performance and production for top herds. Fed at 1% of DMI Oxyntra modifies rumen microflora, significantly increasing denovo butter fat production, increasing feed efficiency and supporting overall cow health, resulting in increased Milk Yield. Oxyntra puts money in your pocket with production, health and longevity.

Oxyntra – The 1% Game-Changer for Modern Dairy Rations

Milk Fat/Yeild

Decrease

Methane

Increase

Feed Efficiency

2-4 Points Increased milk fat → providing additional profit per cow
Greater NDF and ADF digestibility → more captured carbon converted to energy instead of methane or manure
Shifted biohydrogenation pathways → reduced milk-fat-depressing trans-10 isomers; Opportunity to feed more vegetable fat sources: Distillers, High Fat Soybeans
2–4 kg/d more energy-corrected milk → lower SCC, and superior feed efficiency
Synergistic magnesium protection → sustains antioxidant defenses and cellular energy metabolism under high-K conditions = more milk

Oxyntra re-engineers carbon flow for maximum milk fat and margin

Improved Fiber Digestibility & Carbon Efficiency

Increases NDF digestibility by 8–15% and ADF by 4–10% when fed at 1% of DMI
Delivers 3–8% higher total-tract NDF digestibility in lactating cows (confirmed in vivo)
Shifts VFA profile toward more acetate and 15–30% higher butyrate
Captures more dietary carbon as microbial biomass and energy-yielding VFAs instead of methane or undigested residue
Bypass chelated magnesium sustains higher ATP production and enzyme efficiency even under high-potassium conditions

Healthier Rumen Biohydrogenation & Higher Milk Fat

Elevates rumen C4FA → blocks milk fat-depressing trans-10,cis-12 CLA pathway
Favors the healthy trans-11 (vaccenic acid) route → more rumenic acid in milk
Consistently raises milk fat by 0.2–0.4 percentage points in lactation trials
C4FA directly up-regulates key lipogenic genes (FASN, ACACA, SCD) in the mammary gland
Optimal magnesium status enhances acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase activity

Higher Milk Yield & Lower Somatic Cell Count Through Better Health

Powerful anti-inflammatory effects of butyrate reduce acute-phase proteins and cytokines
Less inflammatory energy drain → improved energy balance and dry matter intake in early lactation
Meta-analyses of high-DCAD diets show +1.5–2.5 kg milk/day, part of which is driven by lower systemic inflammation
Healthier cows with reduced oxidative stress produce more milk and maintain lower SCC naturally
