Cin-Plus is combination of several medicinal plants such as processed Yucca and Cinnamon. Cin-Plus supplement is specially formulated to improve bioavailability of amino acids and peptides in rumen and then provides more source of energy and protein for rumen bacteria. Cin-Plus by controlling the production of ammonium and increasing bacterial protein synthesis can reduce the level of BUN and MUN.

The synergy effect of plant extracts used in the production of Cin-Plus. Cin-Plus product is the influence on higher energy availability from a feed ration and better amino acids production in a rumen. A cow’s rumen produces 70% of nitrogen and 80% of the necessary energy to fulfil requirements of an animal. Volatile fatty acids – acetic, propionic, butyric – are developed in the result of the fermentation of carbohydrates (starch, grain) with microorganisms involved.  

Mode of action

- Less energy losses in rumen: less methane production.

With 2 carbon atoms, acetic acid is the smallest volatile fatty acid. Its formation leads to the development of methane, which is not used by an animal. It is estimated that 10% of all energy released is wasted as a result of methane production. Cin-Plus reduce methane production significantly, what results in better energy consumption in milk production and daily weight gains.

- Increase of propionic acid production

Propionic acid is an important volatile fatty acid, which is directly used in lactose production, hence in milk production. Cin-Plus components are responsible for significant increase of propionic volatile fatty acid in rumen. The products do not reduce protein and fat level in milk and do not have a negative influence on milk organoleptic properties.  

- Increase of protein availability and lower ammonia losses in rumen

The inclusion of cinnamaldehyde stimulate the creation of smaller fractions (peptides) and amino acids. In consequence they speed up the process of proteolysis and peptidolysis. Cinnamaldehyde also has a positive influence on deamination process (protein catabolism), what prevents from the excessive ammonia production.  

- The reduction of ketosis risks

There is a negative energy balance starting from calving to the peak of lactation. The amount of feed components intake is not sufficient to cover demands for milk production. A cow is forced to release its own body reserves, so it also loses its weight. Fat released from the body leads to dangerous consequences:  overloading of liver functions and increase of ketones in an animal’s blood. In this critical period it is important, so that a cow converts an energy from a ration to the maximum degree, while releasing its tissue reserves as little as possible.  Phyto-ingredients existing in Cin-Plus reduce ketosis risks and the occurrence of fatty liver problem, they decrease the amount of released reserves in dry period. Cows are heavier and in better condition in the beginning of lactation. It is recommended to use Cin-Plus additives 3-4 weeks before calving (and to the end of lactation), so the ketosis problem would not appear.

- The reduction of acidosis risks.

The inclusion of Cin-Plus for dairy cows enables higher intake of roughage. Animals eat feeds more frequently, what reduces the acidosis risks, as major decreases of the pH of daily rumen content are not observed like it happens with less frequent feeds intake.  Higher feed intake by animals is kept during strong heat (summer- heat stress), what results in maintaining the production at a stable level. Cin-Plus have the ability of limiting the heat stress impact by reduction of oxidative stress in an animal. It improves immune functions and the health of intestines.
