There are many buzz words in dairy nutrition today, let us help provide solutions to your herd with a nutrient dense product that is highly digestible and absorbable. NovaMeal provides many nutritional components all in one package providing a better value from your feedstuff, ultimately, saving money.


  • High nutrient value from bypass protein and digestible fiber
  • Predictable and consistent nutrient supply
  • Pelleted to reduce shrink and for easy handling on the farm

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY

The "D" of RUPD is important


In simple terms, the “D” stands for Digestibility. If protein isn’t absorbed in the small intestine, it is like throwing money out the back end. The higher the RUPD number, the more nutrient value it brings to the feedstuff.

How does RUPD affect on-farm nutrition?


Cows and nutritionists like consistency (ok- they love it!). Evaluating RUPD in feedstuffs helps ensure that a consistent source of protein is available for absorption, and thus, maintains consistency. If feeds are evaluated solely on an RUP basis, it is assumed that the protein is available for absorption. However, the quality or availability of the RUP is unknown. The feedstuff may have been affected during processing and a large portion of the RUP may be undigestible. The end result is cows consuming a diet that does not provide enough protein to meet their needs.

Bonus Benefits


NovaMeal also contains highly digestible fiber, with a greater dNDF than other commonly fed protein sources.

NovaMeal has a low fat level, and thus a low rumen unsaturated fatty acid load (RUFAL). A lower RUFAL in the diet helps maintain or increase milk fat.
