In 1993, scientists researching the unique properties of the rumen-native bacteria Megasphaera elsdenii identified a superior strain, NCIMB 41125. MS Biotec built on this research to pioneer the science of rumen health and anaerobic fermentation. We collaborate with leading universities, nutritionists and veterinarians to validate every product we bring to market. Our state-of-the-art labs are the only facilities in the world with the anaerobic processes required to produce viable Mega e on a commercial scale for use in cattle.

Testimonials
“We’ve been using Lactipro for the last five years. From our Lactipro research, what we saw was a significant reduction in the time it takes to get cattle back up on feed following terminal processing.”
Dr. Abram Babcock
President, Adams Land & Cattle
“If I can use Lactipro to take the nutrition stress out of changing that diet, that has been where I’ve seen Lactipro working on a feedyard with 10,000 head down to the guy who feeds 500 head.”
Dr. Brian Dorcey
DVM
“Lactipro allows us to get cattle on finish feed ten days sooner. Cattle on feed for 110 days show like 120‑day cattle, that’s why we identify them with a Lactipro ear tag. I always sell these cattle first.”
Danny Herrmann
Owner-Manager, Ford County Feedyard
