Exposure of nutrients to environmental conditions, food and feed processing and storage creates losses in activity. Traditionally, the feed industry has compensated by overdosing in an effort to meet requirements. Still, labile nutrients are unstable and degrade during processing and storage, or in the rumen of ruminant animals.
...through Maxx Microencapsulation.
Maxx Performance microencapsulation protects nutrients from feed processing
and storage losses, as well as delivers them in the most highly bio-available
form to ruminant and non-ruminant animals and aquatic species. These Control
Release Delivery Systems allow manufacturers to:
Regulate the release of ingredients
- The specific time, temperature and release of nutrients up and down the gastrointestinal tract. The release is triggered by factors such as pH and enzyme activity
- The release of active nutrients for precise delivery
- The release of active nutrients or biologics at precise absorption sites
Shield nutrients from the environment
- Temperature and pH changes
- Microbial degradation
- Degradation and undesirable interactions
- Air, light and metal to maintain potency
- Nuisance, dust control of ingredients
Deliver higher quality product
- Stabilized free-flowing nutrients with longer shelf life
- Nutrients to replenish the antioxidant status associated with stress
- Biologics for inclusion in different feed preparations including steam pelleting
- Taste masking of undesirable flavors and odors while delivering desirable attributes
- Consistent nutrient quality cost-effectively
