Evaluating a new feed ingredient on paper is one thing. Seeing how it’s used in practice often inspires much more confidence.
That’s why we visited dairy farmer René in Brabant. In this case study, he explains why he chose to include Ruval® in the diet of his dairy herd and how he’s using it to partially replace traditional protein sources such as brewer’s grains, soybean meal, and rapeseed meal.
First, watch the video, and then read about how Ruval® is used in practice.
Why are dairy farmers looking for alternatives to soy and brewer's grains?
The composition and availability of raw materials are constantly changing. Price trends also play an important role in the choice of a feed ration. Many dairy farmers are therefore taking a critical look at traditional protein sources such as spent grain, soy, and rapeseed meal.
It’s not just the cost that matters, but also practical applicability, preservation, and utilization in the rumen. That is why there is growing interest in liquid feed ingredients that can be easily incorporated into a TMR.
What is Ruval®?
Ruval® is a liquid feed supplement for dairy and beef cattle that supports rumen function while also serving as a practical addition to the diet.
Depending on the variant chosen, Ruval® can help:
- an efficient protein supply;
- supporting rumen function;
- a tasty meal;
- better preservation of the TMR;
- Easy integration into existing feeding systems.
Ruval® is available in various versions, including Ruval Plus, Ruval Max, and Ruval Boost, so that its use can be tailored to the farm’s needs.
René’s experience shows that Ruval® is not just a theoretical solution, but can also be applied in practice on a modern dairy farm. By replacing some of the spent grain, soy, and rapeseed meal, he creates a flexible feed ration that fits his farm management practices.
