Rumitech Rumitech is a unique feed additive that encourages a more efficient rumen environment, making more energy available by reducing methane emissions and improving rumen function. Since the launch of Rumitech in 2012, a number of farmers, including one of Scotland's leading beef finishers have been trialling the product and have seen some excellent results; in particular it is making significant improvements to feed efficiency and killing out percentages: 10% improvement on feed efficiency 25% less methane – more energy absorbed from each kg of feed Improved grading and killing out percentages 5% reduced cost/kg gain Click here to find out about Carbon Trust assurance for Rumitech On Farm Mobile Milling and Mixing For farmers utilising home grown cereals we offer a complete on-farm mobile milling and mixing including Maxammon processing, ammonia straw treatment and straw processing.

Rumitech is a unique additive that has been assured by The Carbon Trust to reduce methane emissions. By producing less methane, more energy is available to the animal, increasing feed efficiency which results in reduced feed intakes, increased feed conversion ratio and increased performance. At the end of last year, Murray Smith from Harbro helped the McDougals set up an on-farm comparison to compare their current growing diet against the same diet with the addition of Harbro’s feed additive Rumitech. The diets were fed to the weaned spring born calves throughout the winter. The diet included home grown grass silage and bruised barley. The following results were recorded: DLWG 10% increase Feed conversion ratio 9% increase Cost/kg liveweight gain 5% decrease This improvement in performance meant the McDougal’s margin over feed cost has been increased by 5p/kilo liveweight gained. Over the course of the winter this is worth an additional £10/animal. The McDougals commented: “We are delighted with the results we saw when adding Rumitech minerals to our growing cattle diet and we’ll certainly be feeding them from now on. Small gains have a big impact when we add them up across all our animals. We’re continually looking for ways to improve our cattle and to fine tune our diet. Working with Harbro allows us to do this.” The Carbon Trust states in its opinion that correct use of Rumitech can reduce methane emissions in dairy, beef cattle and sheep.
