Amino Acids

Amino acids are vital for protein building in any animal feed and are central to a healthy, growth-sustaining diet. Low protein diets, supplemented with essential amino acids, reduce feed costs and nitrogen emissions while ensuring animals receive all necessary nutrients. Our solutions optimize nutrition, improve productivity, and support farmers in balancing profitability with environmental responsibility.

Hygroscopic feed premix ingredients such as amino acids and proteins are sticky and tend to cake. Evonik’s SIPERNAT® D 17 is a high-performance free flow and anti-caking agent, designed especially for processing amino acids and proteins such as lysine, methionine and threonine, hydrolysates of casein, whey, soy, corn or wheat, or fishmeal. This precipitated silica with a hydrophobic surface prevents hygroscopic powders from adsorbing moisture. It needs only low dosage levels of SIPERNAT® D 17 to ensure powders remain free flowing during the production process and prolonged periods of storage, even under challenging environmental conditions. As a naturally derived mineral ingredient, silica is an approved, safe, and highly effective ingredient and processing aid for livestock feed.
