Sustainable Solutions from Alltech
Within Alltech, sustainability is regarded as a strategic issue. It is our view that long-term business development should align with the process of sustainable responsibility. Alltech has made comprehensive efforts to identify, monitor, minimize and continually reduce the environmental footprint of its operations throughout the world. We continually explore ways to foster environmental consciousness and awareness at all levels of the organization, in the communities where we carry out business and among the farmers, suppliers and all those who work in the animal health and nutrition industry.
The ACE Principle
By using yeast fermentation and enzyme technology, Alltech provides natural alternatives to combat the many challenges facing the animal health industry, such as the search for alternative raw materials. Alltech's solutions conform to the core values that the company has come to represent - the ACE principle. They must be safe for the Animal, the Consumer and the Environment.
The following Alltech brands fully represent this principle:
Allzyme SSF
Allzyme SSF is a natural complex that improves profitability through maximizing nutrient release. It is produced by our solid-state fermentation (SSF) process. SSF allows for flexibility in feed formulation through the inclusion of by-products and alternative raw materials, or by reducing the nutrient density in the diet, while maintaining a high level of performance.
For use in: Pigs and poultry.
Sel-Plex
Sel-Plex is Alltech's natural, safe and proven form of organic selenium, an essential nutrient for animal health and performance. Sel-Plex improves selenium status and its antioxidant properties keep the animal's immune system strong. Its safe form of selenium is better taken up and kept in by the animal versus being excreted into the environment, like traditional forms (inorganic). Therefore, there is no risk of selenium toxicity to the animal, other animals (on the farm or being transported), or farm workers. Also, when handling Sel-Plex, workers taking care of the animals do not have to wear masks, gloves or special clothing. Sel-Plex is safe for the animal, consumer and environment.
For use in: All species including humans.
NuPro
An animal never gets over a good or a bad start. Young animals experience many stresses in the early stages of life. The ideal diet formulation can make the difference between a healthy start and a challenging one.
NuPro is a functional protein that enhances lifetime animal performance. Derived from the yeast plant, and manufactured by a proprietary Alltech process, NuPro contains highly concentrated levels of essential and functional nutrients, which are important in the diets of young animals.
For use in: Pigs, poultry, ruminants, aquaculture, pets.
De-Odorase
Air pollution from farming has become a major topic across all areas of the world. Just this year, the EU has implemented the IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) for livestock producers and nuisance charges have been filed for family owned farms in the U.S.
De-Odorase is made from a yucca extract. Yucca has been known for its ability to reduce ammonia (NH3) from animal waste. Added to feed at a low inclusion rate, De-Odorase forms part of a nutritional strategy to reduce the impact of ammonia on the health and productivity of confined livestock, waste treatment systems and environmental air quality.
For use in: All species
Bio-Mos
Antibiotic growth promoters have been traditionally used in livestock production for the past 20 years. The EU banned these growth promoters in January of 2006 and many have been banned on a global level for non-therapeutic treatments.
Bio-Mos is the original natural solution to intestinal issues. It promotes good bacteria and builds natural defenses, thereby maximizing animal performance and profitability.
For use in: All species
Sil-All 4x4
Sil-All 4x4 from Alltech is a natural biological silage inoculant, formulated with a high level of beneficial bacteria with sugar releasing enzymes. These work together to optimize the fermentation and preservation of the forage, leading to a silage which is as close as possible in nature to the original crop ensiled. Sil-All converts crop sugars into lactic acid and creates a stable, low pH environment. This in turn reduces wasteful by-products such as acetic acid, alcohol and carbon dioxide and keeps costly dry matter losses to a minimum.
Greenpro56
Greenpro56 is an animal feed ingredient that reduces greenhouse gases and improves digestion in cattle.
Integral®
Integral is a natural feed additive to be used in the further manufacturing of poultry and livestock feed and pet food. The success of the product is evidenced by its current position as Alltech's biggest selling product in a number of regions. The product has two patents which protect its novel composition and methods of production.
For use in: Dairy, pig, poultry, equine, companion animals, aquaculture.
Yea-Sacc®1026
Yea-Sacc®1026 is a live yeast culture based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 1026, a yeast strain specifically selected for its influence on animal performance. With a low inclusion rate and a large body of research clarifying its mode of action and performance responses, Yea-Sacc®1026 is ideal for beef, dairy, calf and equine feeds.
For use in: Dairy, beef, equine, pigs, sheep, water buffalo.
Patents/approvals: Yea-Sacc®1026 performance results are scientifically proven. In fact, of the 71 peer reviewed, published papers, published in the Journal of Dairy Science, Animal Feed Science Technology and the Journal of Animal Science on the mode of action of yeast cultures, 42% were done on Yea-Sacc®1026.
Available in: All regions.
