NiaShure™ Precision Release Niacin
NiaShure Precision Release Niacin is rumen-protected to shield the niacin from microbial degradation in the rumen while allowing release further down the digestive tract.
Research shows that as much as 95% of raw niacin is broken down in the rumen. Balchem’s proprietary encapsulation process ensures that NiaShure reliably delivers significantly more niacin to the intestinal tract than raw niacin.
Key Advantages of NiaShure
NiaShure can help keep your cows cooler this summer – from the inside! Proven as an effective vasodilator in human nutrition, niacin directs blood to the skin and extremities, leading to greater heat transfer and increased sweating. More sweating allows for greater evaporative cooling, which lowers internal body temperature and reduces heat stress.
NiaShure Precision Release Niacin is approximately 85% rumen stable. Delivering eight times more bioavailable niacin to the small intestine than raw niacin, NiaShure overcomes rumen degradation for a more efficient delivery.
NiaShure goes to work quickly with no adaptation period. When you see a heat event coming, add NiaShure. Once the weather cools, you can simply pull it out. That’s precision feeding at its finest.
Benefits
Niacin is a highly bio-active compound and often referred to as vitamin B3. It is primarily involved in energy metabolism, helping convert feed into energy.
Niacin is important for the development and function of cells throughout the body. As a water-soluble vitamin, niacin cannot be stored in the body, so it must be provided on a daily basis. In humans, niacin is supplemented to help lower cholesterol, ease arthritis and boost brain function. In dairy cattle, niacin is included in rations to help reduce the impact of heat stress and may mitigate ketosis in severely overweight or problem cows.
