How it works - Herbal Fermentation
Symbiotic fermentation is the process where multiple organisms (yeasts, acetic acid bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and others) interact to allow the active compounds from herbs to express their true biological nature. Symbiotic fermentation unlocks the active compounds from each botanical, while seeking to express, create and expand. Because fermented botanicals offer a broad spectrum of nutrients, they create a favourable environment in the gut that contributes to the overall health, which is reflected by improved gastrointestinal functions, an efficient immune system and better resistance to everyday stress.

Product Testing and Results
A Feedlot Case Study was conducted at Cattle Creek Feedlot located in Dalby are using Multikraft’s Fermented Herbal Extract (FHE) as a standard inclusion within their rations. Extreme weather conditions including heat cause detrimental effects on cattle, especially when temperatures reach over 40°C. Those effects can include reduced feed intake, panting (panting score) & lethargy. FHE was included from the 23rd October 2020 to aid with the stressful conditions caused from high temperatures and rainfall.

A Beef Cattle Grazing Case Study has also been conducted. A summary is shown below.
0-21 Days Weight Gain
● FHE treated = 1.29kg/hd/day average
● Control = 0.85kg/hd/day average
● 52% increase in daily performance
0-48 Days Weight Gain
● FHE treated = 1.27kg/hd/day average
● Control = 1.08kg/hd/day average
● 17% increase in daily performance
Other observations
● FHE treated cattle were easier to handle than the Control.
● FHE treated cattle displayed a much lesser degree of looseness than the Control.
● Overall performance by owner is above initial expectations.

Environmental Benefits of Fermented Herbal Extract
Odour
Odour created in an intensive animal environment mostly relates to rotting or decomposing material. This process creates further issues including:
- Greenhouse gas emissions
- Local, regional environmental concerns
- Respiratory and other health issues for both livestock and staff
- Increase in fly larvae and other parasites
Methane
Methane capture and utilisation is commonplace in many intensive livestock facilities. Although the study suggests that there is a reduction in methane gas in the shed, it does not affect methane availability when captured. While this study uses pigs, similar results are observed with cattle.
The use of Multikraft Probiotics reduced CH4 emissions by 33%, NH3 emissions by 22%, and N2O emissions by 40%. The spraying of Multikraft beneficial micro- organisms in the shed reduced the gases responsible for the shed climate by 35%, and reduced the potential for odour emissions by 78%.
Fermented Herbal Extract is an extremely versatile product. It can be used for the treatment of sheds and environs prior to repopulating with chickens, read the Broiler Chicken Grower Shed Program for more information on how it works.
It can also be used in water dosing for chickens to improve their gut health. See the Broiler Chicken Water Dosing Program for dosage rates and how to apply.
