Schaumann now provides an innovative way to actively support the digestive system of calves during the drinking phase with the probiotic effervescent tablet KALBI PRO TAB. KALBI PRO TAB contains a high dosage of the special Provita LE lactic acid bacteria, which actively colonise the calf's intestine.
Fundamental scientific research within ISF Schaumann Research is carried out by a team of about 16 agricultural scientists, microbiologists and technicians working at the company’s head office in Pinneberg.
The new product KALBI SAN LIQUID from Schaumann supports healthy intestinal flora in calves and inhibits unwanted germs. The result is more vigorous calves right from day one.
In the innovative NATUPIG mineral feeds, along with meeting the animals' nutritional needs, environmentally friendly nutrient management is also a key focus.
The innovative active ingredient MIZI from SCHAUMANN improves the growth of calves during the milk-feeding period and strengthens the immune system.
Scientists from the University of Applied Science (HAW) - Faculty of Life Sciences - and ISF GmbH - the R & D depatment at Schaumann BioEnergy GmbH - are working together in the coming years on the very important research projects.
RUMIVITAL® i enables more economical and sustainable work and is thus another milestone of ISF Schaumann research on the way to future-oriented dairy cattle feeding.

The 29th Hülsenberg Talks focused on the theme 'Ecosystem Services of Agricultural Livestock Farming'.
ISF Schaumann Research was founded in 1984. It celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2014. It has already received its biggest gift with the new building at Gut Hülsenberg in 2013. Over the course of its existence, there have been many developments in which ISF Schaumann Forschung has been heavily involved and which can be described as milestones in its history.
The use of amino acid chelates in animal feeds has increased in recent years. In this context, ISF Schaumann Research has developed its new AMINOTRACE.
The Biogas Division of ISF Schaumann Research has gained a number of ground-breaking insights regarding biogas production processes and their improvement within only a few years.
The biogas plant on Hülsenberg Estate comprises two lines, allowing practical trials of biogas products to be conducted on a commercial scale in direct comparison. The insights gained are then used to support the production of numerous biogas products that can be customised for any biogas operation.
The innovative active ingredient CERAVITAL XP from SCHAUMANN leads to improved digestibility of proteins in calf feed and enhances daily weight gain.
The innovative product RINDAVITAL VARIO PROTECT ensures milk production even under suboptimal conditions and in stressful situations.
Kalbi Milk Top S from Schaumann combines the advantages of a high-quality milk replacer with 50% skimmed milk powder proportion with an efficient acid combination in one product.
SCHAUMANN exclusively uses new Aminotrace-Copper and Zinc-Bis-Lysinates in milk replacers and enhancers. The intelligent and modern combination of additives supports the rearing of powerful and healthy calves.
By adjusting the SCHAUMASIL acid range for cattle, SCHAUMANN is combining proven concepts with innovations and findings from ISF Schaumann Research.
The tasks of ISF Schaumann Research are distributed across two sites:
Hülsenberg Estate in Wahlstedt is home to ISF Schaumann Research’s laboratories, which employ a team of 27 chemists, specialist engineers and highly qualified specialists in the fields of chemistry, microbiology and technology.
SILOSTAR TMR PROTECT reliably inhibits mold and yeast in the TMR. This helps prevent reheating and loss of performance.
The particularly tasty TIRSANA AMS ensures that the cows' activity increases. This has a positive effect on the number of milkings per day at the AMS and thus also on milk production.
The new SCHAUMANN ENERGY PRO is the consistent development of the successful feed fat product line SCHAUMANN ENERGY and demonstrates impressive effects on milk yield and milk fat content in practical tests.
The 1st cut for 2017, which had been treated with Bonsilage Speed G, was opened again after a short ensiling period, as planned. The good appearance and pleasant smell evident as soon as the silo was opened were already indicative of impeccably high silage quality.
ISF Schaumann Research conducts analyses and a broad range of tests for trialling new feed additives and obtaining relevant approvals. Analyses focus on feedstuffs, silages, organically bound trace elements, minerals, biogas fermenters and acids for preservation.
Investigations, which are conducted with sophisticated analytical instruments and devices, range from chemical and microbiological analyses through to physical and technical tests under conditions simulating practical use.
