Danisco Animal Nutrition, a business subsidiary of DuPont Industrial Biociences, will unveil new research at the 2015 China Feed Expo showing the benefits of using its essential oil product, Enviva ® EO, in swine. The research carried out in conjunction with the China Agricultural University, shows that that Enviva ®EO - a product containing carefully balanced, high concentration blends of thymol and cinnamaldehyde in nature-identical form - is a superior solution for resolving common production challenges in swine, including:
  • Improving bodyweight gain in piglets suffering from production stress, with feed intake increasing by up to 19%, resulting in a net profit improvement of $25.96*/tonne and net profit saving of over 19%(which is comparable to savings offered through Antibiotic Growth Promoter application)
  • The development of a positive gut microbiota in newly weaned pigs, which results in digestibility benefits and helps to control populations of certain bacteria that may have a negative impact on production.
  • Supporting food safety through reduced occurrence of diarrhoea and decreased E. coli counts in faeces, which can, in turn, resolve issues with carcass contamination.
Free-flowing, dust and odour free, Enviva ®EO’s, active components are protected by patented “encapsulation” process making them heat stable up to 85°C , improving production efficiency in poultry and swine production.
The company will also be exhibiting its multi-enzyme solutions which have played a part in achieving healthy, profitable performance since the initial product versions were launched in the late 1980s. Recent research shows the negative impact that undigested nutrients have, not only on the rate at which a bird or pig grows, but also in terms of undesirable shifts in its gut microbiota. This evidence also points to the fact that combinations of feed enzymes - such as xylanase , amylase and protease found in Danisco Animal Nutrition’s carbohydrase and protease portfolio - can address this imbalance, improving digestion and producer profitability.
“Liza Fan, Regional Industry Leader for China at Danisco Animal Nutrition commented, “Our local research shows that the use of essential oils and other feed additives can increase profitability and reduce the impact of high feed costs. Our essential oils offering can also help our customers improve food safety and quality with reduced use of antibiotics.”

The solution presents a great help in Food safety and gut health aspects to producers in China. It is easy to handle during feedmill processing without exuding strong aroma that can sometimes be a problem in handling the EO type of product. Thanks to the encapsulation technology!
