A global event like World Dairy Expo is a natural fit for a global company like Novus International. “It really fits with the vision of Novus,” says Stephanie Gable, Novus Global Marketing Manager. “One of the things we concentrate on at Novus is actually feeding the world. We want to make sure that we can provide the ingredients to help our customers do a better job of feeding protein to the world. So, we’re here talking about a variety of products that help to increase milk protein, milk fat, milk volume, can help with immunity issues – all for the dairy producers.”
Northeast U.S. sales manager Suzy Demeester says they have a “three legged stool” of products for dairy producers. “ALIMET is the foundation of our products, it is a methionine analog that increases milk production, improves components and also has some health effects,” Demeester says. “We’ve got AGRADO Plus, which is a blend of dietary antioxidants that really helps keep the cows in balance with their oxidative stress, and then MINTREX, a chelated brand of minerals that has a special methionine component to it that also helps contribute to the improvement in component production.”
Demeester says they recently conducted a trial with all three products that resulted in an increase of 10 pounds of milk per cow, plus improvement of components, decrease in somatic cell count and overall profitability improvement for the producer.
