Unlock the potential
in fiber transformation
A new gold standard
B E E F
VistaPre-T is the revolutionary fiber pre-treatment suited to modern beef production looking to improve performance during the grower phase
Fiber is a key component of the ruminant diet and subsequently has a notable impact on performance. Fiber utilization is a key factor in influencing available energy and protein which has a direct impact on Feed Efficiency and ADG.
However, plant cell wall digestibility is typically less than 65%, meaning valuable energy is unavailable under normal conditions. When cereal grains are added to the ration plant cell wall digestibility can be reduced further to 35%1, resulting in greater losses of the natural energy content found in fibrous feeds, negatively impacting performance and economic return.
VistaPre-T’s unique mode of action enables improved fiber utilization, resulting in greater energy release from roughages and fibrous co-products, that can deliver improved efficiency and performance through:
1. Improved animal performance
2. Best cost formulation – Production efficiency is improved while minimizing the use of concentrates potentially reducing the cost of the ration
Using less concentrate elevates rumen pH allowing more balanced fermentation reducing the risk of acidosis
The role of fiber in the ruminant diet VistaPre-T liquid pre-treatment creates new value from fiber

VistaPre-T applied directly onto TMR
Greater nutrient utilization
Pre-digestion prior to consumption
Improved body weight gain & feed efficiency
Pits quickly formed on fiber surfaceroughening up feed material
Feed consumption
Faster attachment & colonization by fiber degrading microbes in the rumen
Rumen effects
Digestion starts earlierIncreased feed digestibility
Performance benefits
Application rate @ 680 ml/ton of total dry matter
VistaPre-T causes pitting & roughening of fiber surface across different forage types increasing sites for microbial degradation.
VistaPre-T works to ensure digestion can start earlier
