ADM Animal Nutrition Indonesia marks first global shipment of TXB 99 toxin binder to Thailand

 

 

PT ADM Animal Nutrition Indonesia has successfully entered the global market by exporting ADM TXB 99, a product with a mycotoxin-binding capacity of up to 99%, to Thailand.

 

A total of 100 tonnes of the toxin binder product, packed into two containers, was shipped from ADM Animal Nutrition Indonesia's Pasuruan Plant on November 25.

 

The ceremonial release of the inaugural export was attended by representatives from the Indonesian Quarantine Authority, the East Java Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine Center, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Indonesian Veterinary Medicine Association (ASOHI), the Indonesian Feedmills Association (GPMT), the Animal Husbandry Service of East Java Province, as well as customers and business partners.

 

Wully Wahyuni, country general manager of ADM Animal Nutrition Indonesia, said: "This event is more than a ceremony – it reflects Indonesia's growing capability to compete on the global stage. Our ADM Animal Nutrition Indonesia team is committed to strengthening our presence in the Asia-Pacific region."

 

Wahyuni added that the export marks a significant milestone, noting that Thailand is a highly selective market with strict quality and compliance standards.

 

"Entering this market demonstrates the strength of our products and our team," she said.

 

ADM TXB 99 had previously undergone testing at Trilogy, an external laboratory in the United States, for quality assessment, safety, and performance. The product is manufactured at ADM facilities certified under CPOHB, FSSC 22000, and FAMI-QS, and is registered with the Ministry of Agriculture.

 

"In early November, ADM shipped 50 tonnes to Thailand, followed by a second order of another 50 tonnes – reaching a total of 100 tonnes in just one month. We have also received requests to export up to 450 tonnes by March 2026," explained Wahyuni. She further noted that the team is exploring opportunities in additional markets, including India, Australia, and the Philippines.

 

Deputy head of animal quarantine at Indonesia Quarantine Authority Dr. Sriyanto M.Si PhD, said: "This export proves that veterinary medicines, especially premixes, can penetrate international markets. Quarantine will continue to support this through accelerated certification services, supervision, and assurance that exported products meet the requirements of destination countries."

 

Meanwhile, Dr. Arief Wicaksono M.Si, chairman of The Animal Drug Monitoring Working Group at Ministry of Agriculture, said: "To boost export revenue, the government has revised several regulations, including simplifying the registration process for veterinary medicines, especially premixes intended for export."

 

He also explained that the Ministry of Agriculture provides assistance to veterinary medicine businesses in promoting flagship products during meetings with foreign ambassadors.

 

"We encourage as many local products as possible, particularly veterinary medicines, to be exported by accelerating registration processes and fulfilling documentation requirements," Dr. Wicaksono said.

 

"In trade activities, every country requires a Certificate of Origin (COO) issued by the local government. We will provide this as long as the product is eligible for export."

 

Regarding technical regulations in destination countries, especially those related to contamination safety, Dr. Wicaksono emphasised that these are "living documents" that evolve with global developments.

 

"In this case, Thailand adopts standards from the European Union. We are also preparing ourselves by setting high standards to harmonize with importing countries' requirements," he added.

 

The export ceremony was enlivened by traditional Nusantara dances, a marching band orchestra, and a plant tour led by Sidik Priyono, plant manager of ADM Animal Nutrition Indonesia – Pasuruan.

 

One of ADM's toxin binder variants offers a distinct advantage, being manufactured with premium-quality clay minerals as raw materials.

 

"Our raw materials are carefully selected from multiple sources," explained Yan Andria, technical operation manager (APAC).

 

"The base material is mined clay minerals, which then undergo a series of rigorous tests to produce bentonite with superior toxin-binding capabilities."

 

Yan further noted that, based on laboratory tests conducted by ADM's partner labs in the United States, the binding capacity of ADM TXB 99 against mycotoxins reaches 99%.

 

Routine testing is carried out to ensure consistently reliable results.
