Feed Efficiency
UtriMax®
Maximized energy, maximized profits
Fats are an important source of energy in livestock diets, making efficient fat digestion and absorption essential for optimal performance and productivity. The utilization of dietary fats can be influenced by the fat source, quality, and diet composition. Optimizing fat digestion and energy utilization is critical to maximizing nutrient absorption, improving feed efficiency, supporting performance, and enhancing the overall economic value of the diet.

Frequently Asked 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.
