- Product Highlights
- Result of OPTICON® process is higher level of rumen undegradable protein (DUP), and at the same time, higher degree of his ileal digestibility. There is also positive impact on fibers, where higher rumen degradability of NDF fraction is shown.
- It allows better and simpler optimization of daily feed ratio for ruminants in area of proteins, amino-acids and energy with intention to higher milk output, beneficial impact on health and reproduction.
- Nutritional and feeding demands of high-yielding cows are very high. At the same time, high production level and demand for keeping good health and reproductive performance need closer and more accurate approach to feeding strategy. It’s very important to keep a close look on quality of basic ratio, to optimize feed intake and, by most, to balance intake of energy and protein taking into account all new findings in ruminant nutrition and feeding. By all this, quantity of microbial protein has to be supplemented with certain degree of rumen undegradable protein which has an excellent ileal digestibility. deukalac products are made from a mixture of feed materials which has been treated through patented (DE19913514C1) and protected OPTICON® process, with the end result:
- Change in feed material structure, mainly in protein and fiber segment.
- Reaching the level of rumen undegradable protein of 65-75%; optimal ratio of amino acids.
- Improvement of ileal digestibility of rumen undegradable protein - that represent very important characteristic of our product – highly digestible protein due to hydrothermal treatment without any addition of materials or additives that are usually used in similar products (xylose, formaldehyde, tannins or elements as Zn) and avoiding Mailard reaction between amino acids and free sugars, by strict process control.
- Higher fiber degradability in rumen (more energy for rumen microbes).
- Crumble structure and pleasant taste, which is very important for consumption in high yielding cows.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Use
Deukalac UDP 33 is intended for feeding milking dairy cows and other ruminant species. It can be used in the preparation of complementary compound feed or directly on the farm as a part of TMR, mixed with other feed materials.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNPS)
This system was developed to predict nutritional requirements, feed utilization, animal performance and excretion of nutrients in dairy cows. In CNCPS proteins are divided in 5 major groups by their ruminal degradability and ileal digestibility.
- A fraction - All NPN compounds, rumen degraded instantly.
- B1 fraction - (Globulins and some albumins), degraded in rumen very fast (in 10 minutes).
- B2 fraction - Most albumins and all glutelins, degraded in rumen very slowly (5 - 15 hours), ileal digestibility excellent.
- B3 fraction - Prolamins, extensin proteins and denatured proteins; degradability in rumen almost 0 and lower ileal digestibility.
- C fraction - Maillard products and N bound to lignin; totally un-degradable and indigestible.
During the OPTICON® treatment, transfer from B1 and B2 fractions into B2 and B3 fractions, happens.
