P.U.F.A.

Stage B

Passing the gastric barrier

Stage C

Targeted, controlled release in the intestine

Microencapsulation technology allows substances to pass the gastric barrier and become active only in the sections of the tract responsible for absorption.

Stage D

Enhanced stability and bioactivity

Microencapsulation ensures a stronger action of the active ingredient, increasing its bioavailability and maximising its effectiveness.

Our solutions

BUTYCIN® 2580 MICROCAPS

BUTYCIN® 2580 Microcaps combines sodium butyrate, with its proven trophic effect on the intestinal mucosa, and cinnamaldehyde, known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and regulatory activity. Microencapsulation ensures the protection of both active ingredients and a controlled release, enhancing the effectiveness of the formulation. The synergistic action of the two components supports the integrity of the intestinal barrier, strengthens immune defences, improves digestibility and the animal’s resistance to pathogens.

Benefits

  • Stimulates and strengthens the intestinal immune system
  • Supports the integrity of the intestinal mucosa and the balance of the microbiota
  • Improves digestibility and feed efficiency
  • Supports the animal’s overall health status and production performance

SILBUTYR® 40 MICROCAPS

SILBUTYR® 40 Microcaps provides sodium butyrate in microencapsulated form, ensuring controlled release targeted at the intestinal level, where the active ingredient exerts its direct trophic effect on the mucosa. Microencapsulation protects butyrate from early degradation and maximizes its availability, stimulating the development and lengthening of intestinal villi, improving nutrient absorption and counteracting malabsorption and episodes of diarrhea. The product also positively influences microbiota composition, contributing to a balanced intestinal ecosystem and strengthened immune defences.

Benefits

  • Stimulates the development of intestinal villi, improving nutrient absorption and animal well-being
  • Counteracts malabsorption and reduces episodes of diarrhea
  • Acts positively on intestinal microbiota composition
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Improves production performance, supporting body weight gain and feed conversion ratio

SIL DHA 120 M

SIL DHA 120 M is a microencapsulated product based on oil derived from Schizochytrium microalgae, one of the most concentrated natural sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA. Thanks to microencapsulation, the oil is protected from oxidation and gastric degradation, ensuring maximum bioavailability of the active ingredient in the intestine. The result is an increased DHA content in the egg yolk, thereby improving the nutritional value of the final product.

Benefits

  • Improves the fatty acid composition of animal products, specifically EPA and DHA, enhancing their nutritional value
  • Supports overall animal performance and growth
  • Helps reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming

MICROFORM 10-45 MICROCAPS

MICROFORM 10-45 Microcaps is a blend of microencapsulated organic acids formulated to support the reduction of antibiotic use in livestock farming. Thanks to microencapsulation, the acidifiers are released in a controlled manner, maximizing their effectiveness. The product helps reduce the pathogen load in the gastrointestinal tract, improving feed intake and limiting ammonia emissions, with direct benefits for animal health, production performance and the farm’s environmental impact.

Benefits

  • Helps reduce the load of pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract
  • Improves feed intake and supports daily weight gain
  • Reduces diarrheal episodes, contributing to the animal’s gastrointestinal health
  • Reduces ammonia emissions, with a positive impact on the farm’s environmental sustainability

VITAMINS

SILA® offers a wide range of microencapsulated vitamin formulations designed to ensure maximum stability of the active ingredient and optimal absorption, providing a precise and effective supply at the various stages of rearing.

Available formulations

  • SIL B1 25% MICROCAPS
  • SIL B12 0.1% MICROCAPS
  • SIL C 50% MICROCAPS
  • SIL E 25% MICROCAPS
  • SIL AD3E 100-10-100 MICROCAPS

MICROACID® 350 ESSENTIAL

A balanced gastrointestinal environment is a key factor in poultry productive performance. MICROACID® 350 Essential is a microencapsulated formulation combining organic and inorganic acids, and essential oils into a single solution with synergistic action. Lowering the pH within the gastrointestinal tract creates an adverse environment to the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, while simultaneously improving nutrient digestibility and mineral absorption. Microencapsulation protects the active ingredients from premature degradation and ensures their controlled release at the site of action, maximizing the overall efficacy of the formulation.

Benefits

  • Reduces gastrointestinal pH, inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria
  • Improves digestion and nutrient absorption, supporting animal growth
  • Optimizes gastrointestinal health and promotes animal welfare

SIL SEL 1% MICROCAPS

Selenium is an essential mineral for poultry, playing a key role in antioxidant processes, immune function, and production quality. Deficiency, common in geographic area with selenium-poor soils or during periods of high production stress, compromises the body’s defences, reduces reproductive performance, and negatively affects meat and egg quality. SIL SEL 1% Microcaps provides selenium in a microencapsulated form, ensuring controlled release and stable concentration over time, thereby maximizing the efficacy of the administered dose during periods of peak requirement.

Benefits

  • Exerts an antioxidant effect, protecting cells from oxidative stress
  • Supports the immune system
  • Improves reproductive performance and overall animal health
  • Enhances meat quality, positively influencing the composition and shelf life of the final product

OLISTAT™ P

OLISTAT™ P is a microencapsulated formulation based on essential oils selected for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, in which the active ingredients act synergistically, mutually enhancing their efficacy. Some components demonstrate strong general antimicrobial activity, while others exert a selective action against specific pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli. Microencapsulation ensures the protection of the essential oils and allows for targeted, controlled release, thereby increasing their bioavailability.

Benefits

  • Supports immune system activity
  • Improves feed intake and supports daily weight gain
  • Improves the animal’s overall health status

LAURIC ACID 70% MICROCAPS

Lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that enhances the immune response in poultry, increasing antibody production and resistance to viral infections. LAURIC ACID 70% Microcaps, a microencapsulated source of lauric acid, promotes growth and overall animal health. It specifically supports intestinal well-being, which, during the early stages of life, is a key factor for performance throughout the entire production cycle. Its inclusion in the diet supports selective antimicrobial activity, promotes the integrity of the intestinal barrier, helps reduce oxidative stress, and serves as a source of readily available energy.

Benefits

  • Supports immune response and antibody production
  • Exerts an antimicrobial effect, countering the proliferation of intestinal pathogens
  • Supports production performance and growth in poultry
  • Improves intestinal health and promotes a balanced microbiota
  • Contributes to the reduction of oxidative stress
  • Provides a source of readily available energy
