L-MET® 100® is a feed grade L-Methionine. Methionine is known as an essential amino acid in animal nutrition. Traditionally, methionine has been available in the form of DL-Methionine or Methionine Hydroxy Analog. Recently L-Methionine, the natural form of methionine, made an entrance into the animal feed market. The latest research highlights that L-Methionine can successfully substitute DL-Methionine, as results show a higher average daily gain and feed efficiency in both broilers and pigs. L-Met 100® has consistently shown a higher relative bioavailability than DL-Methionine.

MacroGard is a wholly natural feed ingredient, derived from the cell wall of baker’s yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) and contains the highest quality beta-1,3/1,6-glucans. MacroGard® is used for companion animals as a feed ingredient for premium, superpremium and veterinarian pet food. An extensive dossier with trial results and literature data is available to substantiate the application of MacroGard® in several functional diets for cats and dogs.

Selenium 4000 is an Organic selenium is all about L-Selenomethionine. Supplemented selenium can be categorized as organic or inorganic. Organic selenium has an important benefit compared to inorganic selenium due to the fact that L-Selenomethionine is utilized by the body as an amino acid (in the same way as methionine) and is built into animal protein tissue. Via this L-Selenomethionine is able to build up selenium reserves in the body, which ensures a good selenium and anti-oxidant status at all times and secures efficient transfer of selenium to offspring via placenta, milk and eggs.

ActiveMOS is a prebiotic rich in mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) extracted from specially selected strain of the yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. ActiveMOS is a feed ingredient with a positive effect on gut health. ActiveMOS can be used in petfood and in diets for poultry and piglets.

Smart Hydroxy Trace Minerals are the third generation trace minerals. After long term use of sulfates and oxides, the second generation of organic trace minerals (e.g. chelates, glycinates), the hydroxy trace minerals entered the market successfully as a high bioavailable and economically beneficial trace mineral source. The hydroxy trace minerals are approved by EU as nutritional additive for all animal species including the use in organic feeds. Smart Hydroxy Trace Minerals have a crystalized structure with smart, covalent bonds. These smart bonds explain the high stability in premix and complete feed.

Betaine is the trimethyl derivate of the amino acid glycine and a widely used additive for animal diets. Due to its chemical structure various functions have been described for the betaine molecule like methyl donor and Osmoregulator.

Butyrate is known to be an important energy source for intestinal epithelial cells and has multiple beneficial effects on vital intestinal function. Butyrate is naturally produced in digestive tract of animals. For optimal support, additionally butyrate can be added to the diet. However, unprotected butyrate will be directly absorbed in the first part of the digestive tract before reaching the large intestine. Excential Butycoat is Micro-encapsulation of butyrate, which results in the targeted release of butyrate over the whole digestive tract thereby increasing the mode of action to scope of activities at various gut levels as well as effectiveness per unit active ingredient. Just as importantly, correct coating reduces the typical unpleasant smell of butyrate.

Excential Alliin Plus is a formulation based on garlic and cinnamon obtained via a specific production process. These two plant extracts are known to have a very positive effect on gut health. Excential Alliin Plus can be used for all animal species like piglets, fattening pigs, broilers, rabbits, veal calves, turkeys, layers and pets.

Calsporin® is a sporeforming probiotic which contains Bacillus subtilis C-3102. The inclusion of Bacillus subtilis C-3102 in diets for broiler chickens and piglets has shown to improve growth and feed conversion. Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (Calsporin®) has several pathways in which it improves gut health. In the gut there is a great amount of bacteria (microflora), both good ones (beneficial bacteria) and negative ones (pathogens like Clostridia, E. Coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter). Bacillus subtilis creates an environment which is positive for the beneficial bacteria in the gut (lactobacilli) by consumption of oxygen, production of enzymes and competitive exclusion. In this way Calsporin promotes the proliferation of positive gut flora and reduces the pathogenic bacteria. The result is a healthier gut and a healthier gut means a better utilization of nutrients, less digestive disorders, healthier animals and better performance.

Excential Beta-Key has passed the technical review by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and is OMRI listed. This OMRI listing assures the suitability of Excential Beta-Key for certified organic production in the US and Canada.

Within the group of clay minerals (silicates) there are several different types of clays, each with their own specific properties. AmmoMIN is the brand name of a clay mineral distributed by Orffa. AmmoMIN is a clinoptilolite, belonging to the zeolites one of the specific groups within the silicates. Clinoptilolites are specially selected clay minerals known for their typical molecular structure which enables the clay mineral to bind ammonia. The binding of ammonia in the gut results in better gut health since ammonia is toxic to the gut wall. Besides the binding of ammomia also moisture can be bound. The product is also used as a pelletbinder and inert carrier for premixes and concentrates.
