The technology utilizes a proprietary spray-chilling fat encapsulation process to protect and deliver a potent blend of plant and seaweed extracts, designed for a targeted release within the animal's gut. This advanced process results in a product with an exceptionally high concentration of active compounds and a superior level of stability, even at very low inclusion rates. This enhanced stability is a key technical differentiator and a significant competitive advantage. As demonstrated in extensive comparative studies, this technology consistently outperforms non-encapsulated competitors in key performance metrics such as feed conversion, final body weight, and mortality reduction (Figure 1). This is due to its ability to prevent the degradation of active compounds over time and through feed manufacturing processes. Finally, for controlled-release technology that provides a robust defense against pathogenic challenges, an innovative and highly effective double encapsulation system is employed. This technology is precisely engineered to provide a sophisticated two-phase release of its active components, which include a synergistic blend of five phytogenics, phycogenics, and six organic acids. One encapsulated layer is designed to release its contents in the early small intestine to stimulate digestibility and immunity, while the second, more robust layer releases later in the gut to provide continuous, broad-spectrum efficacy. This staged and strategically timed-release profile ensures that the active molecules are not only protected from degradation but are also deployed in a manner that maximizes their impact against a wide range of intestinal pathogens, including E. coli, Clostridium, and Figure 1 Photo: Ivonne Wierink | Shutterstock
