Diamond V is different from
other yeast products and numerous probiotic products on the market. What
Diamond V Yeast Culture does is provide a food source for the natural
hindgut bacteria, resulting in improved feed digestibility. It also adds
palatability to the feed.
Diamond V Yeast Culture
delivers nutritional value. Unlike many products with "yeast"
in their names, Diamond V Yeast Culture is a true, fully fermented yeast
culture developed specifically for maximizing animal nutrition. The
exclusive Diamond V Process™ carefully ferments selected yeast on the
proper media to produce nutritional metabolites that serve as a rich
food source for digestive bacteria. The result is improved feed
digestibility, allowing the animal to reach a higher nutritional
plane.
Diamond V Yeast Culture is
food for these microbes. By feeding the microbes of the digestive tract,
we help maintain a strong and healthy population of fiber digesting
bacteria. As these microbes flourish, they are more able to digest the
feedstuffs that enter the large intestine. Thus, the horse has a better
opportunity to receive full utilization of the feedstuffs that are
ingested. As we demand more out of our horses, we must be sure that
their digestive tract is in optimum condition. To grow, perform, and
win, a horse must be healthy and good nutrition is a key to proper
health.
Delivering Performance in our
Equine Athletes
As we improve feed
digestibility, many positive benefits are possible. With our performance
horses, an adequate supply of oxygen and metabolic fuels are necessary
to maximize their working ability. Whether its racing or trail riding,
we must provide these components to the muscles in an efficient manner.
Optimum nutrition enhances the fitness level of our equine athletes by
helping their bodies respond to a training program.
With all the research
conducted with Diamond V Yeast Culture, the most significant benefit of
the product is improved fiber digestibility. With forage being the
largest component of the diet and quality always a concern, it is vital
for a healthy equine athlete to have proper fiber digestion. Studies
have shown that yeast culture supplemented horses exhibited improved
digestibility of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber
(ADF), as well as hemicellulose. It is important to maximize the
nutrients available in the forages being fed. Whether your hay is a high
quality alfalfa or a low quality grass variety, maximizing its
contribution is important to your horse's performance.
Through our exercise
physiology research, we have seen that through maximizing nutrition,
yeast culture optimizes the overall fitness level of the horse. A study
conducted by Glade and Campbell-Taylor (1990) showed that Diamond V
Yeast Culture supplemented horses had heart rates of 99 beats per minute
versus 120 beats per minute for control horses after 35 minutes of
exercise. In addition to heart rate, when looking at the equine athlete,
one of the other key factors is lactic acid build-up in the muscles.
This build-up causes our horses the pain and soreness that sometimes
require a long recovery period, depending on the exercise levels. In any
event, it is beneficial to reduce this lactic acid build-up and improve
recovery time. Diamond V Yeast Culture was shown in a study by Glade and
Campbell-Taylor (1990) to effect lactic acid accumulation in the
blood.
Diamond V Yeast Culture
enhances your feeding program through improved digestibility and by
delivering nutritional value. Our yeast cultures are unique, being the
only fully fermented yeast product on the market.
