Products in Production Aids and Processing Additives: Free-Flowing

Exal H is a feed additive with high water retention capacity, which facilitates the free flow of premixtures and allows the addition of fat, molasses, and liquid additives. EXAL H prevents caking and promotes the uniformity of the premixtures. Recommended for all ages and animals.

Eurocob Eu-Grits is a support or excipient for active ingredients in health and animal nutrition and used as abrasive media in surface treatment.

Astaplus® consists of free flowing beadlets and contains 10% astaxanthin in a protective matrix. Astaxanthin plays an important role in enhancing flesh coloration of farmed salmonids which is desired by consumers. Since salmonids lack the ability to synthesize astaxanthin de novo, the pigment must be incorporated into their diets. In some countries Astaplus® is also used for shrimp pigmentation. Astaxanthin being the most valuable microalgal compounds. Haematococcus pluvialis strain is the richest source of astaxanthin (Mezzomo and Ferreira, 2016; Zaheer, 2017). This substance gives the pinkish-red hue to the salmonids (salmons and trout), shrimps, lobsters and crabs and has an important role in their immune-system and fertility. Nutritionally, astaxanthin is the most powerful antioxidant in the nature, with role to scavenge efficiently free radicals from the human body (Koller et al., 2014).

Dinazyme® B/W Dry is a powder acid-neutral xylanase/b-glucanase/pectinase/cellulase product from an advanced non-GMO non-pathogenic strain of Trichoderma longibrachiatum (formerly T. reesei) producing enzymes.

ApoEplus® consists of orange-red, free-flowing beadlets containing 10% ethyl ester of β-apo-8′-carotenoic acid in a protective matrix. This yellow carotenoid is widely used in the feed industry as an additive for offering yellow pigmentation of egg yolk and poultry skin. In comparison to yellow xanthophylls from plants, ApoEplus® is in a high bioavailability form and has a higher deposition rate in egg yolk and poultry skin.

Nutrex NUTRACID brand covers a range of slow-release acidifiers to modulate the microflora by controlling the growth of harmful bacteria and improving gut health. It optimizes gut health throughout the entire GI tract.

AGROMEDICA DenuBond is a highly effective, low inclusion pellet binder for all kinds of feed. DenuBond improves pellet quality. Improved pellet quality decreases feed spillage, prevents selective feeding and improves bulk density, flowing properties and animal performance.

XAROCOL® is a consistent, uniform, natural red pigment and provides efficient absorption with optimal dispersability and stability in the final feed. XAROCOL® gives proven benefits to Layers and Broiler species.

Feed Products & Service Company Buffer Pac is a blend of 50% pure Sodium Bicarbonate and 50% pure Sodium Sesquicarbonate. Buffer Pac provides the best of both feed grade buffers in one convenient form.

Canthaplus® consists of reddish brown, free-flowing beadlets containing 10% canthaxanthin in a protective matrix. Canthaplus® is the product of choice for the feed industry and is commonly used for egg yolk and poultry skin pigmentation. It is also used in other countries for farmed salmon and trout’s combined with astaxanthin as well as duck eggs. Canthaxanthin has also an antioxidant activity and enhances junctional communication between cells directly or through the formation of 4-oxo-retinoic acid, which is also able to stimulate the retinoic acid receptor (Amaya et al., 2014).
