VistaPre-T…
A unique liquid pre-treatment
Creates a window of opportunity to unlock the energy potential in fibre
Delivers new value from home-grown forage and other fibrous feed
VistaPre-T can be applied via a number of commercially available application systems, directly into the TMR
It is also stable and efficacious when mixed with other liquids that are commonly used in ruminant nutrition, including:
• Molasses
• Betaine
• Vinasses
• Distillery syrups – corn gluten, pot ale syrup
• Whey For more information on how VistaPre-T can help you get the most from your forage and feed contact AB Vista on 028 9447 3478Application rate @ 750 mL/tonne of total dry matter

Fibre and feed digestion is not always optimal Greater feed utilisation with VistaPre-T VistaPre-T – expect exceptional results
<65% cell wall digestibility in the rumen, even when rumen function is optimised
Addition of cereal grains reduces digestibility to 35%
• Greater losses in natural energy from fibrous feed
Digestibility of fibre can markedly affect performance through its influence on the availability of energy and protein
Larger grain intake to increase energy increases risk of SARA ➤ negative impact on health and performance
VistaPre-T increases feed digestibility and reduces lag time to digestion allowing for greater feed utilisation
A trial found that feed pre-treated with VistaPre-T provided:VistaPre-T applied directly onto TMR

University trial: 36 heifers assigned to two groups (control and VistaPre-T [0.5 L/T DM] supplied in molasses), 6 weeks before calving. Effects on DMI, blood metabolites and production were measured pre- and post-partum for 8 weeks
Fibre is a key component of the ruminant diet and subsequently has a notable impact on performance
