Fermented feed: a global trend addressing local challenges

In recent years, fermented feed has attracted growing attention among livestock professionals around the world. It offers new opportunities to support animal health and improve productivity, particularly when rearing young animals. However, introducing fermented ingredients into the diet requires a systematic approach and strict adherence to processing requirements: the expected results depend on their integrated use.

Although conventional feed protein sources remain widely used, fermented products have several distinctive properties that make them particularly attractive to modern agricultural businesses. They improve nutrient utilisation and influence the development of the intestinal microbiota, helping to maintain its balance and protect animals against pathogenic microorganisms.

Main types of fermented feed ingredients

Soycolac is a high-value fermented plant protein that supports the intestinal microbiota, nutrient utilisation and immune function. Its protein content, amino acid profile and biological value distinguish it from other plant protein sources used in animal feeding. The product is safe, contains no antinutritional factors and is suitable for all farm animal species. It helps reduce feeding costs and improve production performance.

Cellac is a source of 100% fermented coriander protein. It improves weight gain and survival, supports a balanced intestinal microbiota and has toxin-binding properties. It contains xylooligosaccharides (XOS), mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), beta-glucans and coriander essential oil, which provide a pronounced prebiotic effect. The product is safe and versatile, suitable for both young and adult animals, and helps improve farm performance.

Canolac is a protein concentrate with a high rumen-undegradable protein content. It is used in ruminant diets to manage protein nutrition. It provides good bioavailability of amino acids, including essential amino acids, improves protein metabolism and benefits milk production, metabolic processes and reproductive performance.

Peptilac is a protein supplement produced using a distinctive two-stage enzymatic processing technology. Its small peptides are absorbed more efficiently than complex protein molecules and free amino acids, helping to improve productivity, support digestion and increase survival. The product is suitable for young animals and is characterised by its high short-chain peptide content.

Benefits of fermented feed ingredients

Fermented feed helps optimise dietary protein supply, improve nutrient utilisation, maintain a balanced microbiota, support immunity and increase productivity. Additional components in fermented products—organic acids, functional short peptides and enzymes—improve the digestibility and utilisation of nutrients across the diet and provide a prebiotic effect. These ingredients reduce feeding costs, support growth in young animals and strengthen the health of adult animals, making diets more effective and economically beneficial for the farm.
