Australian-made and manufactured, the Dynavyte range of naturally brewed and fermented live probi- otic products was developed to improve the welfare and performance of horses and stock in general. Research and development is supporting the growth of this exciting range. “It all started for me when a friend of mine came back from Australia with some Dynavyte and recommended trying it out on the horses. I followed his advice and saw an improvement in my horses within three weeks. I was really impressed. I looked into it further and realised Dynavyte could be beneficial not just for horses but also farm livestock like calves and sheep. There was really no question in my mind: I had to bring these products to New Zealand.” Today, Dynavyte New Zealand imports and distributes an ever-growing collection of products that contain Bacillus subtilis natto, a widely studied probiotic, delivering sustainable wellness to animals across the rural sector from livestock, equine and poultry to cats and dogs. Dynavyte Livestock Micro- biome Support (MBS) is the flagship of the range. Competitively priced, Dynavyte MBS is available through PGG, Farmlands and saddleries nationwide and can also be purchased online at www.dynavyte. nz “One of the big advantages pf Dynavyte MBS is that it’s a prebiotic and probiotic, with an anti-in- flammatory and an immune booster effect. There’s nothing else like it on the market. It’s not a dead yeast-based powder like some products you see out there; this is a live spore-based product in a liquid “One of the big advantages pf Dynavyte MBS is that it’s a prebiotic and probiotic, with an anti-inflammatory and an immune booster effect.

Testing has shown the products retain – in fact, grow - this spore count for two years or more with no contamination. “It actu- ally gets better with age!” he says. Jeremy started out spreading the word on Dynavyte MBS initially to the equine industry. Many clients have since come on board, with no shortage of praise in the company’s online feedback on how the health and wellbeing of their horses has improved. New Zealand’s calf rearing community is also fast catching on to the advantages of using Dynavyte MBS. “It goes into their feed – their milk, for calves – and produces enzymes to promote absorption in the stomach. It means they can better utilise their feed, and conversion rates are better.” As he says, improved animal health is a saving to the farmer in the long-time with less money having to be spent on antibiotics and other interventions. Dynavyte MBS is proving helpful across the farming sector. Jeremy observes that early results from a trial involving a Suffolk stud at Warkworth are look- ing very positive. A growing number of Dynavyte MBS products are also coming on stream for pets, such as Danc- ing Dog for cartilage and joint health. Products for working farm dogs are already proving very popular. “Shepherds and pig hunters love it for their dogs – they can really see the difference it makes.”
