Feed Efficiency
Maximized energy, maximized profits
Fats represent an important energy source for poultry and fat digestion is critical in poultry nutrition and performance Emulsifiers help break down fats into smaller droplets, increasing the surface area for digestive enzymes to act upon, and increasing the permeability of intestinal barriers. Thus, emulsifiers enhance fat digestibility and absorption. Lysolecithins, also called hydrolyzed lecithins, are a type of emulsifiers that improve nutrient utilization and digestibility. They are used to improve feed efficiency.

Common Questions
UtriMax® is a feed emulsifier based on lysolecithins, designed to improve the digestion, absorption, and utilization of dietary fats and other nutrients. By enhancing fat emulsification, UtriMax® helps animals extract more energy from their diets, supporting improved performance and feed efficiency.
UtriMax® reduces the surface tension between water and fat, allowing fats to be broken down into smaller droplets. This facilitates the action of lipase enzymes and promotes the formation of micelles, improving the absorption of fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins, and other nutrients.
Young animals have immature digestive systems and lower endogenous production of bile salts and lipase enzymes. UtriMax® supports the emulsification process during this critical stage, helping improve fat digestion and energy availability for growth and development.
Yes. UtriMax® increases the utilization of dietary energy, giving formulators greater flexibility when using alternative fat sources or implementing energy matrix values. For example, adding 250 g UtriMax®/T of feed allows replacing 5 kg of soybean oil with corn; adding 500 g/T allows replacing 7 kg of soybean oil with corn.
