Feed Tech service:
Comprehensive Support for Our Customers

Today’s feed production demands increasingly complex processes, with raw materials requiring specialized treatments both in factories and on farms—from acid addition and thermal processing to liquid application methods. These evolving requirements present new challenges for additive efficacy. Understanding the importance of maintaining product performance through these diverse conditions, we’ve strengthened our commitment to working more closely with customers.

From Single Product to Complete Portfolio Support

From mixing to pelleting, including conditioning, yeast probiotics have to resist various stress factors throughout this challenging process; in particular, mixing with other additives, such as, acids, encountering humidity from both the mash feed and the steam of the conditioner, and withstanding heat from the steam and heat generated by the compression-friction of the press. The multifactorial resistance provided by Actisaf^® yeast probiotic withstands these stress factors.

Superior Stability Across Processing Challenges

Throughout feed manufacturing, probiotics face multiple stressors that can compromise their viability. Actisaf® HR+ demonstrates exceptional resilience against the four major challenges of pelleting: exposure to acids and other additives during mixing, normal humidity from both mash feed and conditioning steam, intense heat from steam injection, and the mechanical stress of compression-friction during pelleting. This multifactorial resistance ensures that Actisaf® maintains its efficacy where many probiotics fail. Our technical expertise extends beyond yeast to bacterial probiotics and other sensitive ingredients, providing comprehensive solutions that maintain biological activity throughout even the most demanding production processes.

Three-Tiered Technical Support Framework

Feed Tech Service operates across three progressive levels of complexity, tailored to meet diverse customer needs. At the foundational level, we provide straightforward stability analysis, verifying product viability under standard pelleting conditions. The intermediate tier addresses more complex scenarios, evaluating product performance when subjected to specific customer processes—such as acid inclusion, varying moisture levels, or unique feed matrices. For the most sophisticated challenges, our advanced service delivers bespoke solutions through collaborative development projects, uniting our Product Application specialists and R&D teams with customer expertise. This comprehensive approach ensures we deliver precisely targeted solutions that meet even the most exacting requirements, transforming production challenges into opportunities for innovation.

Expanding Our Global Technical Footprint

Over recent years, Feed Tech Service has built a robust foundation of technical expertise, conducting more than 100 detailed analyses demonstrating Actisaf’s remarkable stability across diverse processing conditions. This evidence-based approach has empowered our sales teams with compelling data to address customer concerns and build confidence in our solutions. Building on this success, we are now broadening our scope to encompass the entire Phileo product range whilst expanding our geographical reach into previously underserved regions. This strategic evolution ensures our technical support matches our global commercial presence, providing consistent, high-quality service to customers regardless of location or processing challenges.
