NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2025 ADM introduced its new feed solution Digest Carb to European markets at SPACE 2025, a key international trade show for livestock farming professionals being held in western France from 16-18 September. The company developed Digest Carb, a synergistic combination of ingredients, to assist dairy farmers in supporting rumen fermentation, fiber degradability1 and milk performance2 while managing feed costs. The product will soon be launched in other regional markets worldwide "With feed accounting for up to 60–70% of total production expenses, maximizing feed efficiency is essential for dairy farmers," explained Gaelle Benzoni, Vice President, Animal Nutrition R&D, ADM. "Enhancing rumen fermentation improves nutrient release— enabling cows to extract more energy from the same amount of feed—and boosts milk production. Digest Carb is a result of five years of rigorous research and development, and we’re proud to share it with European dairy operations focused on performance, robustness and environmental impact." ADM highlights Digest Carb as a combination of ingredients that maximize the rumen's use of different energy sources, including starch, fiber and sugars. Validated through on-farm research trials, this solution has demonstrated improvement on milk yields and the energy formulation of feed.
