Vitamins are irreplaceable nutrients for animals since they guarantee the health and productivity of the subject, especially during times of high stress. Some vitamins need to be protected because of the interaction between negative elements present in mixtures or to ensure the rumen by pass (eg nicotinic acid 50% coated NIAPASS). To sustain high production levels, it's necessary to cover the most of both fat-soluble and hydrosoluble vitamins requirements. An extra dose of vitamins is important in situations related to different factors of stress - post partum, immunizations, transportation, summer - and in cases of enteric origin diseases, because they cause a vitamins malabsorption in the diet.
The polyunsaturated fatty acids (P.U.F.A.) play a structural role in cell membranes protecting and enhancing their functionality. The micro-encapsulation technology developed by SILA laboratory secures P.U.F.A. by the oxidative rancidity processes to which are particularly vulnerable, in order to fully ensure their effectiveness and the real intake. Of particular interest are the protected essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can only be taken through the diet. Microencapsulated CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) in fact, increases production, reduces oxidative stress, increases fertility, exerts an anti-inflammatory action favoring the general state of health and also reduces the excretion of urea improving the environmental impact.
Microencapsulated acidifiers are used in veterinary feeding to meet the increasing interest in the nutritional strategies with antibiotic-like activity. Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 prohibits the use of antibiotics as growth stimulators and acidifiers appear as a viable alternative.
The innovative technology of microencapsulation allows the protection and a slow release of the active ingredients, without altering gastric and enzymatic activities. The acidifiers regulate the intestinal microflora in favor of the lactic and act as antimicrobials directly attacking the bacterial cell.
Amino acids are an essential component to meet the correct protein needs. The microencapsulation studied by SILA laboratory protects this category of elements from degradative phenomena, by alterations for negative interactions, ensuring a slow release of the contents and a full absorption, as for the Methionine Choline or for the 25% coated (VETACHOL). One of the most important objectives in fact, is to obtain maximum production efficiency, limiting both and the environmental impact that the economic losses.
Supplementation of essential minerals is very important in feedingstuffs, because all animal species are subjected to mineral deficiencies caused by an unbalanced diet or difficulties in intestinal absorption. In this field SILA has developed and studied (in particular for the Selenium with SILSEL RBP) a specific coating to protect the microelement by insolubilization and transformation processes ensuring a better absorption and effectiveness.
Essential oils are increasingly important in animal nutrition. Protected essential oils exert polyvalent therapeutic activities, including the ability to modulate the fermentation at rumen and intestinal level, with significant results in environmental and productive terms. The microencapsulation especially allows to stabilize and minimize the losses, due to the volatility and the negative interaction with other substances present in feedingstuffs.
