Chelbonit 16

Chelbonit assists with the following:

Stabilization of rumen acids.
Increased metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates.
Enhanced supply of microbial proteins.
Increased level of bypass protein.
Increased level of metabolic protein.
Enhanced absorption of nutrients.
Enhanced performance (milk, ECM, physical growth, feed utilization, economic efficiency).
Improved milk quality (additional milk solids).
Improved status of the digestive system (less cases of diarrhea).
Reduced release of nitrogen in the environment.
Reduced release of fluids in the environment.

Trials and Observation Results for Chelbonit®-16 Dairy Cattle

Kibbutz Beit Kama Herd – Chelbonit®-16 , experimental and control groups (total of 80 cows), 60-day observation. Results: Increased daily milk production by two kg/cow.

Kibbutz Beit Alpha Herd – Chelbonit®-16 , experimental and control groups (five months total trial time, including cross-checking of groups), with 20 cows, individual computerized feeders, and robotic milking. Results: Average daily increase in milk production and milk solids of 1.5 kg, with a maximum of 2.5 kg.

Kibbutz Givat Haim Meuhad Herd – Chelbonit®-16 , observed in a commercial herd of 450 cows. Extended study over an 11-month period. Results: Increased daily ECM production, including in summer, by 2 kg.

Kibbutz Ein Hanatziv Herd – Trial with 170 cows over 7 months, including cross-checking of the groups. Results: Increased daily milk production by 2.4 kg, ECM by 1.1 kg (significance level: p<0.05). 5% reduction in feed intake (p<0.001), 6.6% increase in efficiency, as well as significant improvement in summer milk production. (Publicized in Mashov, Israeli farmers magazine).

Kibbutz Messilot Herd – Trial on 70 cattle. Half of the cows in first third of lactation, half of the cows in last third of lactation. Length of the trial – 2.5 months. Results: 1.8 kg daily increase in ECM production, 1.6 kg daily increase in milk production (p<0.03). 6% decrease in feed intake. (Article by Dr. Doron Bar, veterinarian of the Hachaklait veterinary service, publicized in the Israeli Cattle Breeders Association bi-monthly, Meshek Habakar Vehachalav (The Dairy and Beef Farm).

Kfar Vitkin Feed Center – Observation of 400 cattle over several months. Results: Improved daily ECM production by 1.9 kg, reduced feed intake by 6%.

Beef Stockers

Kibbutz Hatzor Herd – Chelbonit®-16 , experimental and control groups, 120 beef stockers, Israeli Holsteins and mixed breed (Polish imports). 70 grams more daily gain and feed efficiency achieved by the Chelbonit-fed group.

Kibbutz Ein Hanatziv Herd – Chelbonit®-16 , Israeli Holstein and mixed breed stockers in a commercial herd. 80 grams more daily gain and a 3% reduction in feed consumption by the Chelbonit-fed group.

Moshav Nahalal Herd – Chelbonit®- 16, 160 beef stockers. 76 grams more daily gain and a 0.75% reduction in feed consumption by the Chelbonit-fed group (p=0.09). (Research supervised by Dr. Meori Rosen of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Beef Cattle Extension Service).

Food additive for cattle and sheep.

Chelbonit is a feed additive integrated into the regular food intended for cattle and sheep.

It encourages improved digestion and increases absorption of carbohydrates and amino acids in the rumen and intestines.

Ingredients: Soluble carbohydrates, wheat and maize proteins, amino acids, minerals and oil.
