ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2023 37 lation that can satisfy the distinct nutritional and environmental challenges that producers face across the globe. To customize nutritional solutions to specific needs, ADM has a portfolio of feed additives that can promote feed efficiency in livestock, either by enhancing the digestibility of nutrients in feed, or by boosting the uptake of nutrition by supporting gut function. ADM’s feed additives have been designed to unlock the power of nature, incorporating a range of natural ingredients, such as bioactives, biotics, organic acids, enzymes, and minerals. Several ADM products have consistently demonstrated significant improvements to FCR across livestock species. For example, XTRACT 6930, which leverages a combination of microencapsulated active substances found in aromatic plants and spices, optimizes the FCR in broilers2 (Figure 1). In swine, supplementation with the yeast-based product, CitriStim, improves the FCR3 (Figure 2). B-TRAXIM products, organic forms of essential trace elements, have been shown to be a more efficient way to fulfil nutritional requirements in most species. For example, to ensure vitamin B12 synthesis from cobalt in ruminants with B-TRAXIM PRO44 (Figure 3). ADM continues to unlock the potential of its current portfolio while delivering innovative solutions to meet customer needs of today and tomorrow. With its current and future products, ADM will continue to lead the way towards meeting the challenges of global food security. 1Alqaisi et al.
