Improved feed efficiency

Optimizing feed costs, while maintaining the highest possible efficiency, is essential for the prosperity of any feed producer and farmer. The best poultry diets are formulated to consider the birds nutritional requirements, and the contribution of individual raw materials in the correct ratios.

The importance of absorption enhancers

Feed additives such as enzymes promote the essential supply of nutrients, to ensure healthy, high-performing birds at maximum yield. An optimal release and absorption of these nutrients in the intestinal tract is crucial. A correct absorption is key, as it enables them to become fully bioavailable for the animal. To achieve this goal, we have to look beyond the inclusion of enzymes. The use of bio emulsifiers or lysolecithin-based absorption enhancers provides substantial production improvements, gaining significant academic and commercial attention. We offer a unique 3 ingredient nutrient absorption enhancer, LYSOFORTE® EXTEND.

LYSOFORTE EXTEND can be implemented to your feed with two different approaches: The use "on top", of a standard poultry diet formulation which improves weight gain and feed conversion rate. This is crucial in the early rearing period, where the gastrointestinal tract is still developing. In this phase, the secretion of enzymes and bile salts have not reached their maximum level of contribution to the optimize digestion and absorption of essential nutrients.
In a reformulation approach, LEX allows the reduction of crude protein and crude fat content in the standard feed, resulting in feed cost reductions. Simultaneously, productive performance of the birds is maintained. Therefore, in economically challenging times, like the actual COVID-19 pandemic, LYSOFORTE EXTEND plays a crucial role in optimizing the delicate balance between animal performance and feed costs.

To have the full economic benefit of this nutrient absorption enhancer, we recommend using the product via “on top” application during the early production phases, followed by implementing a reformulation strategy in the grower and finishing phase. This ensures optimal bird growth in the starter phase and helps you to lower feed costs during the fattening period. It allows optimal production and profitability results.
