Animal Nutrition

Kemin helps customers raise healthy animals by providing superior nutritional benefits in every stage of life. Increasing performance, improving health and reducing environmental impacts while meeting their nutritional needs, leads to increased profitability.

Kemin offers the following animal nutrition solutions:

 

 

Importance of Nutrition

Nutritional solutions are essential in preventing performance issues before they occur. To support the agricultural community, Kemin invests millions of dollars in research to improve animal health and performance and increase producer profitability. Kemin focuses on six key nutrition platforms:

  • Bio Emulsifier
  • Enzymes
  • Antioxidants
  • Carotenoids
  • Gut Support
  • Rumen Protection

 

 

Bio Emulsifier — A Way to Improve Feed Digestibility

Reducing fat variability in feed and improving lipid absorption can help livestock and poultry producers achieve both efficiency and profitability. Biosurfactants' ability to enhance lipid (fat) digestion is becoming more popular in animal feeds. The addition of a biosurfactant leads to better utilization of energy from feed, resulting in improved feed conversion rates, lower production costs, improved profitability and animal performance. Kemin developed a state-of-the-art biosurfactant designed to enhance digestion and absorb fatty acids and nutrients across all diets. LYSOFORTE Dry™ contains lecithin modified by a unique and patented enzymatic process to create a more powerful biosurfactant containing specific phospholipids.

 

Enzymes

Enzymes promote efficient animal production because they assist in the breakdown of complex and varying substrates coming either from wheat or corn/soya based diets and from rations including a variety of alternative raw materials. Enzymes have become an important tool for nutritionists to keep feed costs under control, even more, important under today’s economic and environmental situation. Complex substrates require more than one enzyme activity for a complete solution. Kemin provides a unique solution to enhance the use of today´s complex feed with KEMZYME™. The KEMZYME™ portfolio consists of specialized enzymes to provide an exhaustive solution.

 

Antioxidant System

Kemin is the leader in natural and synthetic antioxidants for the past 45 years for animal and human feed/food production, with a complete portfolio designed to control oxidation during every phase of the manufacturing processes.

 

Carotenoids — Quality Egg Nutrition Solution

For more than 20 years, Kemin has collaborated with egg producers in creating carotenoid products for optimum egg yolk quality and nutrition. These goals and relationships help bring billions of quality eggs to consumers every year. Humans and animals usually cannot synthesize carotenoids, which is why it's important to supplement carotenoids within the diet.

Through extensive research and trial studies, Kemin has shown lutein, a carotenoid nutrient, and xanthophyll are not only efficient in promoting consistent egg pigmentation, but may play an important role in development and physiological functions such as antioxidant activities, regulation of cell proliferation and enhancement of immune function. These all translate to better eye care, skin hydration, cognition, eye health in babies and most recently, carotenoids have been found to help fight against the harmful effects of blue light at all ages.1

 

Gut Support

ButiPEARL™ is an encapsulated source of calcium butyrate for animal diets. The MicroPEARLS™ encapsulation technology is unique and allows superior handling, avoids lumps at the feed mill, no bad odor, and permits a sustained release of the active ingredient in the intestinal tract, resulting in a very profitable application.

 

Bioavailability Using Rumen Protection

Superior milk production requires more than average protein sources, especially if producers want to boost production. To meet demands, research shows dairy cows perform best with an efficient total mixed ration (TMR) diet containing rumen protected lysine and methionine because they provide higher levels of bioavailable amino acids to the cow. Kemin has developed rumen protected lysine, methionine and choline products like LysiPEARL™MetiPEARL™ and CholiPEARL™ to support these goals and keep dairy cows healthy and productive.
