“We need quality fibers that don’t deteriorate”

We need quality forage that doesn’t deteriorate.One year we used rapeseed straw. It was complicated to produce and we had mycotoxins ‘ problems.

Securing production by securing the ration is a necessity for us.

picto expert2 Expert’s recommendations

Michel Vagneur 
Veterinary Doctor – Animal Nutrition Consultant

“Performance rations for dairy cows have a dry matter content that needs to be optimized.”

To optimize ingestion, rations for dairy cows with a high level of production must have a dry matter content of well over 40%.

Forages and co-products that are low in dry matter must be limited, otherwise the ration becomes more cumbersome, less ingested and therefore penalizes production and rates. Alterations in forage quality and the presence of toxic substances can have dramatic consequences in terms of production and health.

The economic impact of altered foods, nutrient losses and health consequences is very significant.

The use of dry dehydrated type of food is the guarantor of a better safety of the ration, and facilitates the ingestion of dairy cows by increasing the total dry matter of the ration.

picto rumiplus2 The Rumiplus answer

“The 90% DM of the Rumiplus raises the rate of dry matter of the ration.”

THE FIBROSITY ASSET OF RUMIPLUS :

The passage through dehydration stabilizes the Rumiplus to 90% dry matter, a pledge of absence of losses and alterations.
The use of Rumiplus as a substitute for moist foods increases the dry matter of the ration which facilitates the ingestion of high production dairy cows.

Substituting 6 kg of grass silage with 2 kg of Rumiplus allows the dry matter to be fed from a dairy cow ration of 39% to 43% DM.

Dehydration process Concentrated Alfalfa Extract (CAE)

Dehydration process Concentrated Alfalfa Extract (CAE)Schema Luzerne ECL eng

From plant to concentrated alfalfa extracts

Alfalfa naturally rich in proteins, cultivated in North-Eastern France, is used to supply our extraction tools.

The process consists of a sequence of physical stages, which preserve the plant’s intrinsic qualities as far as possible. Results: a healthy, natural product, which meets the new health quality requirements.

During the process, the product is not, at any time, in contact with synthetic solvent to facilitate extraction or increase pigment concentration.

1- Harvest

Respecting the harvest timetable is a fundamental part of quality.

It is drawn up to optimise transformation of the plant according to its vegetative stage. For better quality dehydrated products, we undertake to respect the cutting timetable for each raw material. To obtain the most suitable plant for manufacture of our various commercial qualities.

Example of alfalfa cutting timetable:

calendrier v2 eng

Alfalfa wilting

A process which consists of natural drying to lower the average humidity level of the alfalfa before dehydration, without altering its nutritional qualities.

2- Cold pressing

The alfalfa is harvested in several successive cuts, from May to October. It is immediately transported to the factory, where the plant material is fragmented to release its constituents. It is then pressed to produce a green juice, rich in protein and pigments.

3- Heating

The juice is heated to coagulate the protein. Preheating followed by an injection of steam flocculates most of the protein present, which forms a proteinaceous coagulum.

4- Centrifugation

This is all centrifuged to separate the coagulum from the liquid part.

The pigments (lipidic) in the juice are carried along with the paste obtained from the protein coagulum.

5- Drying and granulation

This paste is dried on a fluidised bed and granulated at sufficiently low temperatures to preserve the CAE composition.

Cooling takes place on leaving the dryer to stabilise the product.

6- Storage

Since the CAE is produced within six months of the alfalfa harvest, it can be stored for one year at specialist storage sites. This stage is subject to more attentive treatment to guarantee perfect preservation of the CAE properties, thus meeting customers’ requirements.

Carotenes and xanthophylls are sensitive to oxidation

Rich in double carbon-carbon bonds, carotenes and xanthophylls are particularly sensitive to oxidation.

This oxidation reaction is initiated and maintained by light, heat and oxygen in the air. During the initiation phase, the reaction is slow, then it intensifies exponentially: this is an autocatalytic reaction.

Three action levers

To slow these degradation reactions as much as possible, the storage techniques use three effective levers:

Darkness: once produced, CAE pigments are no longer exposed to UV from light, from the storage cell to final packaging.

Aerobic micro: CAE is stored in cells with a modified atmosphere. Continuous nitrogen inerting controls and minimises the quantity of oxygen in contact with the pigments.

Cold: lowering the temperatures slows oxidation reactions. The CAE is cooled, then stored under positive cold conditions.

Désialis has developed two storage systems

Storage in inert gas (nitrogen), has been used for many years and is specially designed to preserve all the nutritional values in CAE. This system leads to 70% retention of xanthophylls. Depending on the factory production rate, the product is placed under nitrogen after manufacture.

Storage in positive cold significantly slows xanthophyll oxidation reactions. It also reduces the risk of mould development.

These processes guarantee the level of Total Xanthophylls (or Lutein-Zeaxanthin).

Dehydration process of alfalfa

Schema Luzerne eng

 

A natural source of protein, alfalfa has been used as animal feed for more than 9000 years.

Dehydration, a unique drying process, is used for conservation and preservation of the fresh plant’s nutritional qualities.

The constant improvement in dehydration, storage and homogenisation techniques has led to the diversification of qualities offered, expanding alfalfa consumption to all animal species.

The transformation of alfalfa is a natural, additive-free process.

1- Harvest

Respecting the harvest timetable is a fundamental part of quality.

It is drawn up to optimise transformation of the plant according to its vegetative stage. For better quality dehydrated products, we undertake to respect the cutting timetable for each raw material. To obtain the most suitable plant for manufacture of our various commercial qualities.

Alfalfa wilting

A process which consists of natural drying to lower the average humidity level of the alfalfa before dehydration, without altering its nutritional qualities.

2- Dehydration

Reduced by 75% to 50% moisture, the alfalfa wilted are transported to the dewatering, where they are dried in a rotary drum dryer.

With a current of hot air (between 250° and 600°C in dryer entrance), these are brought alfalfa to 10% moisture and then crushed.

3- Manufacture of commercial qualities

Dehydrated alfalfa in pellets

Crushing : On leaving the rotary drum dryer the alfalfa is crushed. The flour obtained is put into granulation presses to be agglomerated into pellets of different diameters 6 mm.

Fibre in bales: long-strand alfalfa in bales

At the exit of the drum dryer, the dried alfalfa uncrushed are oriented presses trunk to be packed in bales of 370 kg.

To produce RUMIPLUS, delicate (alfalfa leaves rich in protein), are retrieved, sorted, granulated (pellet of 6 mm) and reintroduced into bales of 420 kg.

4- Elevation

The dehydrated alfalfa is sent to our silos where it is homogenised, stored and formulated to obtain our commercial specialities.

Used to manage the variability of the qualities received (cuts and factory productions).

Homogenisation:

Consists of mixing the different qualities of alfalfa received to obtain homogeneous batches.

Storage:

The homogenised batches are checked, analysed and identified, then stored in dedicated cells.

Formulation:

Formulation, by mixing different homogenised batches (of identified, listed qualities), leads to the manufacture of our different commercial specialities, which will be guaranteed by contract.

Profile

Founded in 2004, Désialis was born out of a collective approach by alfalfa  to develop sales of their French dehydrated products intended for animal nutrition.

Modern and efficient production facilities, all part of a sustainable development approach, control the technologies and processes, and allow Désialis to offer safe products that comply with standards, suited to the increasing requirements of animal nutrition.

From the agronomic pathway of the plants through to factory processing and sale of the products, each stage is defined and strictly controlled.

Storage, formulation and blending silos ensure the availability of our products, safety of supply and a perfect match between production and the needs of our customers.

Désialis has developed a strong product segmentation policy in order to be able to anticipate and meet the requirements of various animal sectors. A strategy that is consistent with our market approach: constantly adapting our products to the demands of our markets.

 Part of our sales are now exported, the result of a globalised geographical positioning of our markets that we will pursue and develop to meet these new needs.
