In the 1990’s, lipids (fats and oils) were cheap; about USD 300/metric ton (1990) therefore adding lipids to feed was a competitive option. However, with the global push towards sustainability, more lipids were used for manufacturing of biodiesels. As a result of using lipids for fuel, lipid prices sky rocketed and at its’ peak during Covid, it was around USD 1800/mt. It has since stabilised at USD 900/mt. However the future of lipid supply looks even tighter (less supply volume) as governments commit to higher biodiesel usage. Due to this trend, we expect lipid prices to keep increasing in the future. With this backdrop, GN Good Nutrition has manufactured lysolecithin to optimise the use of lipids in feed to help farmers reduce costs.
History of Fats and Prices
The Meat on Your Table Carries a Deeper Story
Today, families everywhere are feeling the pressure of rising food costs. Meat, once a staple, is becoming something people think twice about. The question is no longer just what to cook, but how to balance nutrition with affordability. What many do not see is that the answer to this challenge does not begin at the supermarket. It begins at the farm, at the level of animal nutrition.
Is Lysolecithin Still Effective in Low Fat Diets? The Science Explained
In animal nutrition, lysolecithin is often associated with improving fat digestion, especially in high oil diets. But a common question remains: does it still deliver value when fat inclusion is low or when no additional oil is added?
