NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2022 11 ADM launches new sweetening feed solutions for piglets ADM has launched two products under its SUCRAM series, designed to enhance the palatability of feeds for young animals, especially weaned pigs. ADM, a global leader in human and animal nutrition, announced the launch of two products under its SUCRAM range, an in-feed sweetening solution for livestock species. Developed by ADM’s global feed additives business, Pancosma, SUCRAM M’I Sweet and SUCRAM Specifeek are sweeteners designed to improve the palatability of feed for young animals – particularly weanling pigs. Palatants and sweeteners are useful nutrition solutions to improve feed intake and enhance efficiencies for producers while also supporting animal health and well-being. “Significant diversity exists between the sweet taste receptors among different species, impacting the perception of sweetness,” said Fabio Catunda, ADM Global Swine Commercial Director. “What is sweet for one species may not be perceived as sweet in another species due to these inter-species differences. This is critical to understand when developing effective sweetening products such as SUCRAM.” In-feed sweeteners have demonstrated to be an effective attractant to encourage feed intake at the weaning stage, as piglets make the transition from liquid to solid feed.

After a decade of research, the new hammer mill series packs in many small innovations that together add up to a big boost in performance. Its groundbreaking modular system offers significant energy savings and flexibility while maintaining the highest product quality and safety standards. Grinding is one of the most energy-intensive process steps in many food and feed plants. In today’s competitive markets, rising energy costs are a serious issue. A big challenge faced by businesses that rely on grinding is, therefore, how to make more with less. Greater energy efficiency is one of the prime benefits of the new Granulex® 5 series, with 10% reduction in energy consumption per ton, and in some cases the reduction can be as much as 30%. The new hammer mill also has the highest throughput ranges, improved granulation profile, and an operator-friendly design. Capacity is increased by 10% and the time required for screen changeovers is reduced by 50%. The new solution can also be connected to Bühler Insights to enable 24/7/365 data-based decision making. The hammer mill is among the most widely used grinding solution in industrial food and feed processing plants, valued for its flexibility and adaptability. “It is not easy to revolutionize an old machine category,” says Dean Ekkaia, Product Management Director Value Nutrition at Bühler Group.
