P.U.F.A.
Passing the gastric barrier
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.
Enhanced stability and bioactivity
Microencapsulation ensures a stronger action of the active ingredient, increasing its bioavailability and maximising its effectiveness.
Our solutions
CLASIX®
CLASIX® is a protected source of CLA - conjugated linoleic acid - a fatty acid important for lipid metabolism and the quality of animal products. In finishing pigs, it supports growth performance, improves carcass quality, and optimizes nitrogen utilization, reducing excretion and improving feed efficiency, thereby making a concrete contribution to the environmental sustainability of livestock farming. In sows, CLASIX® brings significant results regarding insemination management, the number of live-born piglets, and the control of body weight loss during lactation.
Benefits
- Improves fertility and reproductive performance in sows
- Supports growth and improves carcass quality in fattening pigs
- Enhances protein synthesis and protects against oxidation
- Increases the nutritional value of animal-derived products
MICROACID® 350 ESSENTIAL
A balanced gastrointestinal environment is a key factor in swine 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 swine health and performance, but its bioavailability is often compromised by physiological and environmental factors that limit absorption. A deficiency, even a mild and prolonged one, can manifest as reproductive disorders and muscle pathologies, directly impacting animal welfare and farm productivity. 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
- Ensures a consistent and balanced selenium concentration over time
- Improves the animal’s overall health status, reducing the risk of reproductive and muscular disorders
- Enhances swine production performance
OLISTAT™ G
OLISTAT™ G combines allicin and cinnamaldehyde - two active ingredients with proven antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activity - in a microencapsulated formulation that ensures targeted intestinal release, where their action is most effective. The product balances the microbiota, supports the animal’s resistance to pathogens, and optimizes production performance throughout the entire rearing cycle.
Benefits
- Supports antiprotozoal and antimicrobial action, counteracting the proliferation and growth of intestinal pathogens
- Improves feed intake, optimizing nutrient conversion
- Supports weight gain and enhances swine production performance
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
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 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
MICROACID® 455
MICROACID® 455 is a complex of microencapsulated organic acids formulated to offer an alternative to the use of antibiotics in animal feed. The protected form allows controlled release in the gastrointestinal tract, promoting a balanced intestinal environment, optimizing nutrient absorption and supporting the animal’s growth performance.
Benefits
- Enhances the antimicrobial action of organic acids
- Improves gastrointestinal health and optimizes nutrient absorption
- Supports growth performance and feed efficiency
- Helps reduce the need for pharmacological treatments
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
PROPIONIC ACID 35% MICROCAPS
In its microencapsulated form, PROPIONIC ACID 35% Microcaps protects the active ingredient and ensures a controlled release within the gastrointestinal tract, thereby enhancing the antimicrobial action of propionic acid. The product supports digestive balance, helps reduce the risk of post-weaning diarrhea, and improves feed efficiency and growth performance in swine.
Benefits
- Exerts an antimicrobial effect
- Helps control post-weaning diarrhea
- Improves digestion and nutrient absorption, supporting animal growth and well-being
