Evonik Animal Nutrition

It's SUMMER in the northern hemisphere! 🌡️ 🐄 Heat stress represents a significant challenge in dairy production, negatively impacting cow health, the quantity and the quality of milk produced. Effective management strategies, monitoring technologies and innovations in nutrition and genetics are essential to mitigate the effects of heat stress and maintain the productivity and health of dairy cows. 👉With the correct balancing of the cows' diet for amino acids, energy sources and mineral supply, it is possible to significantly reduce the harmful effects of heat stress on dairy productivity.

🌍🌱 The MetAMINO® ATLAS EDITION 2 supports sustainable agriculture by promoting the use of fewer resources to achieve the same level of animal performance. By using a more bioavailable methionine source, like DL-Methionine, farmers can reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable food supply. Download it today for access to data from 19 performance trials, conducted in 12 countries, across 4 continents – and with more than two million broilers, layers, swine and aqua species: https://lnkd.in/ePRDpD6Z (For every download in 2024, we’ve committed to planting a new tree, in partnership with GROW MY TREE 🌲/ Impact Hero) #Methionine #MetAMINO #FoodScience #FeedIndustry 🌿🦐

💡Why lower crude protein (CP) in animal diets?💡 Over decades of experience, we've discovered that supplementing animal diets with the right amino acids and functional feed additives allows producers to: 🌎 Reduce nitrogen emissions: improved nitrogen efficiency leads to lower nitrogen excretion. 💧 Conserve water: reduced excretion means animals also drink less water, easing pressure on this critical natural resource. 🌱 Decrease dependency on certain raw materials: less need for materials such as soybean products, which can contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and habitat loss. For dairy cows, balancing amino acids with Mepron® — which provides highly concentrated rumen-protected DL-methionine — can typically reduce dietary CP by 1-2 percentage points. 🐄🥛 And guess what? We’ve got solutions for each species: https://lnkd.in/d26yxf33 #CrudeProtein #AnimalNutrition #SustainableLivestock #FeedIndustry

🌱It's all in the mix! Whether soy, rapeseed, wheat or by-products from the food industry: the composition of animal feed is not only crucial for the healthy growth of animals, but also for the environment. To reduce the nitrogen load, the correct dosage of amino acids is essential. They ensure optimal utilization of proteins. With the Amino(NIR)® process, Evonik has developed a method that allows feed producers to optimally adapt the composition for the animals in the shortest possible time.

📄In 2022, scientists at Harper Adams University in the UK published the results from a trial in which the effects of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) on broiler performance in low energy diets were studied. The trial showed that Ross 308 broilers fed GAA-supplemented and 50 kcal/kg-reduced feed tended to gain more weight and had an improved feed conversion compared with standard fed birds. 🔋 GuanAMINO® - Evonik’s feed supplement that provides your flock with GAA - is the natural creatine precursor. It’s metabolized in the liver to produce creatine, playing an essential part in the energy metabolism. Want to learn more?

Variation in feed components (such as soybean products) presents a huge challenge to the animal production industry. As well as variation arising from growing conditions, processing adds another layer of variation🤔 🌾 AMINONIR® RED can address this processing challenge by enabling producers to tackle nutrient variation in raw feed ingredients, with additional access to insights on effective management strategies. Entering another new market with a patent in Brazil, our NIR-spectroscopy technology further validates the innovative science behind our products, and we can’t wait for more of our customers to benefit. 🙌 📑 Read "Using Analytics in Animal Feed: Determining the Nutritional Value of Soybean Products” to learn more about it: https://lnkd.in/gF-NMsWz #AnimalNutrition #Analytics #Soybean

Creatine isn’t only beneficial for bodybuilders! 🏋️ For poultry and swine, improving energy metabolism significantly increases muscle mass and performance. 🐔 🐷 🔋 Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is the natural creatine precursor, metabolized in the liver to produce creatine, playing an essential part in the energy metabolism. Evonik research has confirmed that GAA supplementation can increase the level of creatine in muscles by 10-20%, depending on dose.

A significant achievement! Did you know that Veramaris, our joint venture with dsm-firmenich, has been producing algal oil at its site in Nebraska for five years? 🎉 Evonik Animal Nutrition Senior Vice President Gaetano Blanda joined President of Global Products & Strategic Alliances at dsm-firmenich Andre Bos and Veramaris CEO Gertjan de Koning, and others, at the plant in Blair last week, to celebrate the milestone anniversary. Veramaris has made significant strides in offering a sustainable alternative to fish oil for the aquaculture industry, helping to reduce its dependence on finite marine resources. 🐟🌿 It’s a partnership that we’re extremely proud of, and one that ties into our wider mission to increase food safety and security, while improving animal health and welfare and reducing the ecological footprint of farming – by Sciencing the Global Food Challenge. Congratulations, Veramaris. We can’t wait to watch the company grow further over the next five years and beyond! 🌱 #SciencingTheGlobalFoodchallenge #Veramaris #AlgalOil #SustainableAquaculture

🌿 Thank you for the warm reception at the launch of SpeoCare™ T60 in India!
