Decades of experience have gone into our BEWI-SAN range.

Carob flour is a new addition to the BEWI-SAN Prevent C formula. Due to its high content of swellable dietary fibre, carob flour has a supportive effect on non-specific digestive problems.

Improve gut health and reduce antibiotic use with targeted combinations of medium-chain fatty acids.

Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA)
and their derivatives are known for their pronounced antibacterial effects against gram-positive bacteria.

The 19th BOKU symposium Animal Nutrition 2021 had the general topic “Animal Nutrition between animal welfare and environment protection”.

The symposium was held for the first time as a digital web conference. We were again represented with a scientific contribution.

Encapsulated additives

Logo FeedMagazine

The matrix encapsulation process on the basis of hydrogenated vegetable fats allows the use of feed components and active ingredients whose use in unprotected form is not possible or useful or could have negative effects.

In ruminants, these include not only amino acids and water-soluble vitamins, but also other active ingredients which are largely broken down in the rumen without protection.

In monogastric animals, various active substances are inactivated in the stomach or can have unprotected negative effects on feed intake.

Emission reduction in dairy cattle

Rumen-protected fats (BEWI-SPRAY®) allow an effective energy improvement of the ration without offering a substrate for methanogenic microorganisms. The methane emission is not increased despite a higher energy supply.

A combination of rumen-protected methionine and lysine makes it possible to optimise protein efficiency and to reduce common protein carriers without performance losses.

An addition of rumen-protected methionine shows positive effects on metabolism and liver health.
