Optimize Your Feed Mixing with Fats & Oils

Using lysolecithin to optimize fat digestion and absorption in animal feed for farm animals namely pig and poultry


Want to maximize feed efficiency? The right mixing strategy for fats and oils can make all the difference!

1. Slow & Steady Wins the Race – Add fats/oils two-thirds into the mix to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution.
2. Keep it Clean – Avoid spraying onto the mixer sides, shaft, or paddles to maintain efficiency.
3. Water First! – Add water-based liquids before fats to prevent hydrophobic layering that blocks absorption.
4. Mind the % – Exceeding 5% fat in mash leads to caking & bridging; in pellets, it weakens quality. Post-pelleting fat application? Yes, please!

Better Digestion = More Energy
Emulsified fats = higher digestibility = more energy for your animals!

Vitalsorb™ Pure is a premium emulsifier packed with phospholipids to boost fat absorption—especially for saturated fats!

Vitalsorb, containing lysolecithin, forms a stable emulsion aiding fat digestion. The liver produces lysolecithin, but insufficiently. Vitalsorb assists fat digestion effectively.
Vitalsorb Pure’s Stability
In digestion of fats, it is important for the emulsifier to form a stable emulsion over 90 minutes. Vitalsorb is an emulsifier made of lysolecithin that is able to achieve this stability.

History of Fats and Prices
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.
