Basically these are the scenarios underwhich the products would be applied to achieve an effecient fattening for export livestock.

The diet should consist of 30–40% forage and 60–70% concentrate, emphasizing high-energy ingredients to support rapid finishing. All additives should be maintained during this phase to sustain performance.

The combined effect of Diamond V and Actifor Boost is an increased voluntary intake and more efficient utilization of nutrients for growth.

Actifor Boost should also be included at around 1 g per head per day to enhance palatability and stimulate feed intake while improving nutrient absorption and rumen fermentation.

Diamond V is a yeast based postbiotic that supports microbial balance, stabilizes rumen pH, and improves digestion of both fiber and starch, resulting in better nutrient availability and improved feed conversion.

Diamond V XPC should be introduced in the groth phase at approximately 5 kg per ton of feed (or 5–10 g per head per day) to enhance rumen efficiency.

2. During the growth phase, and once the animals are adapted, the feeding strategy shifts toward maximizing lean tissue growth. The diet should be adjusted to 50–60% forage and 40–50% concentrate.

Additionally, BioTox mycotoxin binder should be incorporated at 1–2 kg per ton of feed to protect animals from the negative effects of mycotoxins, which can suppress intake and growth.

In the adaptation phase to the new diet, usually the first two weeks, the animals should be gradually introduced to concentrate feeding. This allows for rumen adaptation and also prevents issues such as acidosis from popping up.

These challenges are usually associated with poor rumen function, underlying mineral deficiencies, as well as mycotoxin contamination, all of which reduce feed intake and inhibit weight gain.

Right, so, assuming you are aiming to fatten sheep and goats from 20 kg to 35–45 kg, the main nutritional challenges to solve would be those arising from growth rates, feed costs, and inconsistent performance due to hidden nutritional gaps and feed inefficiencies.
