Importance of nutrient absorption
Nutrient absorption is an aspect that cannot be taken for granted when achieving optimal feed efficiency. Ensuring all essential nutrients released in the gut are also properly absorbed is a pivotal link to integrate into any feeding strategy.
Key takeaway: Both optimizing digestibility and nutrient absorption are crucial for obtaining the full potential of animal diets.
Mechanisms of nutrient absorption
Multiple aspects determine the process of nutrient absorption through the intestinal wall, and recent scientific findings have shed additional insights into its mechanism.
Key takeaway: Nutrient absorption can be steered through LYSOFORTE® EXTEND, a well-designed nutrient absorption enhancer.
Market trends
Even if diet recipes become stricter regarding energy or protein content and multiple matrixes are already used, there’s still room to enhance diet efficiency further by improving nutrient absorption.
Key takeaway: Regardless of today's diets' energy or fat levels, LYSOFORTE EXTEND can further enhance production efficiency with a substantial return on investment.
Raw material quality
Optimal absorption of all essential nutrients starts with ensuring and monitoring the high intrinsic quality of raw materials, particularly fats and oils.
Dietary lipids, essential to supplying sufficient energy to pigs and poultry, are expensive feed ingredients. To ensure value for money, a thorough lipid evaluation test of the sources used can provide insights into their true nutritional value so that they can be integrated into the feed formula as accurately as possible.
Key takeaway: Kemin’s comprehensive Lipid Evaluation Test is a unique service that can determine the full quality of fats and oils used in animal diets. This allows companies to select the best suppliers, ensure high feed quality, and utilize their full potential.
