PMI Nutritional Additives and Nuscience Group announce strategic partnership

PMI Nutritional Additives and Nuscience Group have announced a strategic partnership focused on identifying and developing leading feed technology products for the US livestock industry.

The collaboration will bring high-quality feed components such as pure and multi-activated medium chain fatty acids, which are not readily available in the US marketplace today.

"Through this partnership, we'll be exceptionally well positioned to provide novel functional feed components. By understanding modes of action and combining the components in an accurate way, this collaboration will help deliver optimised performance by supporting nutrient utilisation and gut health in poultry, swine, dairy and cattle," says Tim Makens, general manager of PMI Nutritional Additives.

"One of the major challenges of the industry today is health and we are interested in the role that nutrition plays in supporting animal health", says Katrien Deschepper, COO of Nuscience Group. "Based on its developed medium chain fatty acids, Nuscience's functional ingredients have proven to be a valuable solution to support overall animal health and immunity. Joining forces with PMI Nutritional Additives and its extensive experience in US animal nutrition will allow us to develop effective nutritional solutions that address animal health for the US market."
