RYCaps
RYCaps
RYCaps® (Rumen Yeast Capsules) by TechMix are a highly concentrated probiotic bolus designed to support rumen function, restore feed intake, and stabilise metabolic health in dairy cows during periods of stress, illness, or transition. Each capsule delivers a carefully balanced combination of live yeast, niacin, fermentation extracts, and B-vitamins to help cows recover faster and return to production efficiently.
Fresh cows, sick animals, or those exposed to feed changes, heat stress, or antibiotic treatments often experience disrupted rumen function. This can lead to reduced appetite, compromised fibre digestion, lowered milk yield, and serious metabolic issues like ketosis. RYCaps are formulated to address these problems at the source—supporting a healthy rumen environment that boosts energy utilisation and nutrient absorption.
What’s Inside RYCaps and Why It Works:
-
30 Billion CFU of Live Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I‑1077):
This proven strain of yeast helps maintain stable rumen pH, supports the growth of fibre-digesting bacteria, and boosts microbial protein synthesis—improving both digestion and feed efficiency. -
6g of Niacin (Vitamin B3):
Niacin plays a critical role in energy metabolism and helps prevent ketosis, a common metabolic disorder in fresh cows. It also supports liver function, helping animals better process the surge in fatty acids post-calving. -
Fermentation Extracts (including Aspergillus oryzae):
These act as natural digestive enhancers that stimulate fibre-degrading bacteria and improve the rate of digestion, leading to better feed conversion and consistent milk output. -
B-Vitamin Complex:
Essential for stress resilience and appetite recovery, B-vitamins contribute to improved overall wellbeing and metabolic function.
Benefits of Using RYCaps®:
-
Supports rapid rumen recovery after calving, illness, or digestive disruption
-
Promotes faster return to feed, resulting in improved dry matter intake (DMI)
-
Boosts fibre digestion, enabling cows to better extract energy from roughage
-
Improves milk production through optimised nutrient uptake
-
Helps prevent ketosis and milk fat depression in fresh cows
-
Easy-to-administer capsule format – no mixing or measuring required
When to Use RYCaps®:
-
Immediately after calving to support fresh cows
-
During or after antibiotic treatments
-
During times of feed transitions or heat stress
-
In cows showing signs of low appetite, sluggish rumen, or metabolic strain
-
Following illness or transport stress
RYCaps are also suitable as part of a herd-wide recovery or transition plan to minimise production dips and maintain herd performance.
