FAQs

Absolutely. Mycotoxins can remain active even after the mold is gone, and many are invisible and odorless.

Yes. Certain mycotoxins affect hormone function, especially in sows and breeding cows.

Binders trap toxins physically. Our Direct Fed Microbials (DFM), DTX, breaks them down biologically and helps the animal eliminate them naturally.

Yes. Probiotics can support immune health, reduce pathogen loads, improve feed efficiency, and aid in toxin defense—depending on the strain.

Look for signs like inconsistent growth, reduced intake, loose stools, poor reproductive performance, or unexplained immune issues. Testing feed is the most accurate approach.

Yes. Certain mycotoxins, like Zearalenone, mimic hormones and can reduce fertility or disrupt cycles.

At least quarterly, and more often during wet harvest years or if you notice performance issues.

It depends on the species and issue. Products with targeted strains, like Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria used in Agrarian Solutions, may outperform generic probiotics.

CWDB are rare, difficult to culture, and require specialized fermentation and stabilization methods—Agrarian Solutions is one of the few companies offering them.

Yes, when used strategically. Compounds like rosemary and curcumin can reduce oxidative stress and support detox pathways.

Loose stools, inconsistent weight gain, and increased susceptibility to disease can be early indicators.

They serve different purposes. Yeast improves digestion, enzymes break down feed, and probiotics promote gut health. The best programs often use all three.

When chosen wisely, feed additives can improve efficiency and pay for themselves in performance, health, or reduced treatment costs.

Probiotics can reduce the need for antibiotics by supporting gut and immune health, but they are not a direct replacement in cases of infection.

Use quality feed, test regularly, incorporate proven probiotics or digestors, and support liver function with botanicals like those in LivOx (our plant active technology that enhances liver function and performance under oxidative stress).

Use probiotics like Convert™ Day-One Calf Gel or Convert™ BIG Calf Powder to maintain gut health, improve feed intake, and reduce immune suppression.

Yes. Even low levels of mycotoxins can damage rumen function, reduce dry matter intake, and negatively affect milk yield and quality.

Reduced rumination, loose manure, inconsistent feed intake, poor reproduction, and lower milk yield.

Use microbial boluses like BioFresh® to quickly repopulate beneficial microbes and support digestive balance in fresh cows.

Yes. Probiotics help develop the gut microbiome, leading to better digestion, immune function, and daily gain.

Yes. Inflammation in the gut can increase systemic stress and immune load, contributing to elevated SCC.

Yes. They can suppress appetite, reduce feed conversion efficiency, and increase days to market.

Yes. Especially during backgrounding, feed transitions, or high-stress events. They help maintain rumen efficiency and immune function.

Along with ration management, microbial support from DFMs can help stabilize pH and microbial populations in the rumen.

Loose stools, poor coat condition, inconsistent gains, and reduced interest in feed.

Yes. They help restore beneficial bacteria that can be wiped out by antibiotics and reduce post-treatment setbacks.
