Evonik to showcase expanded range of products, services at EuroTier

 

 

As part of its strategic goal of becoming a 'system house' for animal nutrition, Evonik will be showcasing a wealth of products and services beyond essential amino acids at this year's EuroTier on February 9-12.

 

"We want to support our customers in producing healthy and high-quality animal protein in both an efficient and sustainable way," said Dr. Emmanuel Auer, head of the animal nutrition business line at Evonik. "And we are convinced that only healthy animals provide healthy food."

 

The well-being of animals and humans is closely linked for Evonik and its life sciences division, Nutrition & Care. It starts with the basic health benefits of low protein diet concepts driven by amino acid supplementation, the company explained.

 

Evonik has now reached the next focus level using probiotics to strengthen the intestinal health of animals. "They can help substitute the use of growth-promoting antibiotics," said Torben Madsen, head of the Sustainable Healthy Nutrition product line.

 

The latest probiotic in Evonik's range is Ecobiol^® Fizz, a tablet for rapid use through a drinking water system for poultry.

 

Other Evonik products that will be featured at EuroTier include:

 

- GuanAMINO^®, a new guanidino acetic acid (GAA) product that supports the energy metabolism of livestock. It improves feed conversion and animal performance. "So far, GAA has been used primarily in broilers, but pigs, ruminants and fish diets also benefit from supplementation with GuanAMINO^®," said Madsen.

 

- Modern, professional livestock management includes knowing the exact needs of the animals and how barn conditions influence performance. Precision livestock farming (PLF) of this kind requires continuous monitoring and intelligent data management. With Porphyrio^®, Evonik offers one of the leading digital solutions in poultry nutrition and farming. 

 

- AMINONIR^® Portable, a new mobile near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) service, is the first in the world that can also analyse amino acids, independently of a laboratory, within minutes, Evonik said. The mobile device allows rapid on-site quality checks to make informed decisions at critical points in feed production, saving time and thus increasing speed and efficiency in feed production.

 

Evonik's Animal Nutrition business line will be presenting all these innovations on the digital platform of EuroTier 2021.

 

Customers can call up for product information, attend ten different live presentations by Evonik, and interact with its representatives via individual appointments.

 

Three of the live presentations will address specific issues and needs of the Middle East-Africa region.
