More performance

Animals need amino acids, not protein. If excess amino acids are supplied – by conventional, high protein diets – we pay for nutrition that is wasted. Even worse, this excess can be used by potential pathogenic bacteria in the gut, causing microbiota imbalances, harming the animals’ intestine, and reducing performance. Health has a direct impact on performance, and using pure amino acids like MetAMINO®, Biolys® and ThreAMINO® can enhance both.

Over the past 20 years there has been a significant global reduction in the use of antibiotic growth promotors (AGPs). Sometimes this is associated with a deterioration in animal performance and increase in enteric disease. Using products like probiotics, combined with improved feed design, can maintain animal output. Indeed, using products like Ecobiol® and services like AMINONIR® can even reduce the risk of pathogenic conditions like necrotic enteritis, further reducing reliance on antibiotics.

Livestock require high energy levels for growth and body maintenance. Additionally, disease challenges and conditions such as chronic inflammation further intensify the energy demands of animals. Evonik actively researches these critical areas and provides customers with innovative products like GuanAMINO® and SpeoCare® T60 that effectively contribute to the energy needs of livestock. By addressing these energy requirements, we help ensure optimal health and performance in animals.
