These solutions support poultry production by reducing reliance on routine antibiotics while helping to keep costs under control.
Helping farmers optimize feed efficiency
Our digital tools & services provide comprehensive support to nutritionists by ensuring that feed formulations meet the highest standards of quality and safety. With industry-leading feed technology, we help nutritionists optimize their feed formulations, leading to better nutrient utilization and overall flock health.
Understanding the challenges
Poultry farming is an essential part of the global food supply, but it comes with challenges that producers face every day, such as high feed costs, unsatisfactory bird performance and meat yield, reduced animal health, and unwanted variation in production. Because of such pressure points our customers look for holistic and comprehensive solutions for their operations that achieve superior results and economic performance as well as sustainability benefits.
About two-thirds of the variable costs in poultry production can be attributed to feed. Both enhancing feed conversion ratios and reducing diet costs contribute to increased cost-efficiency and profitability. Sophisticated dietary amino acid concepts, optimized gut health, and high-quality raw materials and compound feed are the foundation of this approach. Evonik’s amino acid portfolio as well as functional feed additives such as GuanAMINO® and gut health enhancing products, combined with nutritional strategies developed for current poultry strains, enable maximized performance outcomes. Moreover, Evonik’s comprehensive set of analytical services and digital tools, together with its dosing solutions, enables the feed industry to achieve precise and cost-effective feed production.
Poultry are vulnerable to various challenges that can impair health status and incur significant financial losses. Effective preventive measures are crucial to protect flocks from having such issues. Evonik’s portfolio gives complete and effective solutions to mitigate these risks and ensure high health status, critical to allow birds conditions to express the highest growth potential.
The volatility of feed and energy prices can squeeze profit margins, making it essential for poultry producers to implement cost-effective strategies while securing high performance without compromising quality or animal welfare. Feed formulations based on our AMINOSpec® recommendations, low crude protein concept, supplementation with essential and functional amino acids, GuanAMINO® for improving energy efficiency, and feed quality services, can substantially increase the efficiency of livestock production.
As feed costs continue to rise, optimizing feed utilization becomes increasingly important for profitability. Poultry producers need to ensure that their birds receive the right nutrients, such as amino acids, and the right functional feed additives to support health and performance in the most efficient way. Moreover, analytical services used for quality control of feed raw materials and compound feed contribute considerably to precise feed production, resulting in optimized feed efficiency.
The poultry production sector is increasingly required to reduce emissions and waste, as well as to adopt more sustainable practices. This includes minimizing nitrogen pollution and managing waste effectively to lessen the environmental footprint of their operations. Using the right balance of amino acids, supported by feed quality services, can help to reduce the environmental impact of poultry farming.
The competitive market landscape requires poultry producers to continuously improve their procedures. With numerous players in the industry, staying ahead of competitors means frequently adopting new technologies and practices. Evonik’s products and services, such as AMINONIR® feed quality services, can substantially support competitiveness by supporting optimal animal performance and producing cost-effective feed.
Boost nutrition and performance in poultry with MetAMINO®
An optimal dietary supplementation of amino acids, such as MetAMINO®, allows poultry feed producers to achieve a balanced diet without the negative impacts associated with excessive protein use.
Optimizing poultry performance with low crude protein diets
Evonik's low crude protein diet approach is designed to enhance the efficiency of livestock nutrition while simultaneously conserving valuable resources. It is based on knowledge of animals’ nutritional needs, reliable data about the amino acid content of the feed raw materials, and targeted amino acid supplementation.
Gut health solutions for modern poultry farming
Evonik’s Gut Health Concept is a comprehensive approach designed to enhance the health and productivity of poultry, focusing on maintaining optimal gut function and overall animal well-being. By combining feeding concepts, amino acids, and probiotics, we provide customized solutions for addressing key challenges faced by poultry farmers, such as heat stress, sub-optimal feed nutritional values and quality, parasites, pathogenic bacteria, and the replacement of antibiotic growth promoters.
