Kemin Liquid Offering for Raw Materials, Forages and Feed Milling

Grain treatment preserves the grain quality at the time of harvest and maintains it throughout storage, allowing you to present a higher quality grain at market. Preventing mold growth at the source can lead to reduced formation of mycotoxins, better-looking grain and a premium appearance that can help you sell your grain for its true value on the international market. The quality of grain tends to decline as it moves from harvesting through the loading, transporting, distribution and sale process, so treating your grain with protective solutions from the start is critical.

We will treat your grain with a range of cost-effective mold protection and preservative solutions such as our Myco CURB® and Grain SHIELD® products, which have been rigorously researched and tested to make sure they can provide maximum mold and yeast growth protection for your grain.

As Salmonella continues to be a leading cause of foodborne disease in humans throughout the world and has a significant impact on morbidity, mortality and economic loss, Kemin has developed a reliable solution to help control it. Animals can become infected with Salmonella from contaminated feed and the environment. It is crucial to effectively control Salmonella contamination as early as possible in the feed chain by reducing the contamination of feed raw materials. Processing of oil seeds generates a lot of dust and heat. Dusty, warm, and humid conditions in the extraction plant are very suitable, not only for Salmonella survival, but also for the rapid multiplication of the microorganism.

Our Sal CURB® product, designed to control Salmonella in oil seeds at the extraction plant, is another critical solution for helping protect your consumers from the dangers of the leading cause of foodborne disease in humans in the world.

When it comes to food safety and efficiency in feed milling, you will not find a better solution than Kemin and millSMART.

Our feed processing pre-conditioning program covers all aspects of feed milling, from improving pellet feed quality to making feed safer.

It starts with Opti CURB®, our pre-conditioning solution that is an activated solution of Myco CURB® or Sal CURB® depending on your feed products’ specific needs. They can be applied primarily for mold control or antimicrobial protection respectively. Our application technology combined with the properties of the powerful surfactants in the solution makes sure the product is fully distributed throughout your feedstuff. Through the Opti CURB solution, feed mills will get benefits in the areas of feedstuff optimization, improved pellet quality, reduced energy consumption, increased feed processing productivity and throughput, improved process standardization and feed safety.

The next feature of the millSMART process is LYSOFORTE®, a naturally-derived liquid absorption enhancer we add straight into the oil or fat line as part of the feed production process. We mix LYSORFORTE liquid in with the fats and oil early on in the process to ensures a more homogeneous spread of the product and it enables the lysophospholipids in LYSOFORTE to be directly in contact with the lipids, enhancing its efficacy in the feed. LYSOFORTE liquid, with its unique features, provides a tool to nutritionists to manage variable fat/oil prices by using the product either on top or in re-formulation applications.

If you work with hay, you know what a challenging task it can be. Hay can lay in the field for a long time before you get a chance to bale it, and that lost time presents a great opportunity for that hay to decline in quality. You need to beable to bale your hay at moisture levels greater than 15 percent to reduce leaf shatter and curing time and enjoy softer stems and more protein-rich leaves, which improve digestibility.

To get those moisture levels, you need forage treatments that can inhibit microbial growth and deterioration of hay during storage. Kemin and foragSMART have those treatments. Our FRESH CUT® Liquid is a hay preservative to protect your high-moisture level baled hay. It is an organic acid blend with extremely strong surfactants that effectively battles mold strains while buffered to avoid corrosion and protect worker safety.

Our special formulation ensures a more complete distribution of the blend which penetrates deeply into the hay to protect its quality throughout the process of getting your hay to its final destination.

We also have foragSMART solutions for those who are struggling with silage preservation issues when it comes to animal feed. Our Silage SAVOR® liquid uses the power of organic acids like propionic acid to maximize silage preservation and fight mold growth. Silage SAVOR is a premium blend of three such acids, giving you wide-ranging spoilage control and favorable fermentation with a rapid pH drop for silage stability.
