A DM L A U N C H E S N EW SWEETENING FEED SOLUTIONS
FOR PIGLETS ADM has announced the launch of two products under its SUCRAM range, an in-feed sweetening solution for livestock species. Developed by ADM’s global feed additives business, Pancosma, SUCRAM M’I Sweet and SUCRAM Specifeek are sweeteners designed to improve the palatability of feed for young animals – particularly weanling pigs. Palatants and sweeteners are useful nutrition solutions to improve feed intake and enhance efficiencies for producers while also supporting animal health and well-being. “Significant diversity exists between
the sweet taste receptors among different species, impacting the perception of sweetness,” said Fabio Catunda, ADM Global Swine Commercial Director. “What is sweet for one species may not be perceived as sweet in another species due to these inter-species differences. This is critical to understand when developing effective sweetening products such as SUCRAM.” An ongoing collaboration between
ADM’s nutrition experts and molecular physiology and biochemistry scientists at the University of Liverpool is expanding industry knowledge of the function of sweet taste receptors in animals. These new additions to ADM’s SUCRAM range were specifically developed to activate the swine sweet taste receptors, with a focus on piglets at weaning. In-feed sweeteners have demonstrated to be an effective attractant to encourage feed intake at the weaning stage, as piglets make the transition from liquid to solid feed. Both SUCRAM M’ I Sweet and
Specifeek are saccharin-free and, as part of the product development process, were tested in an in-vitro swine sweet taste
receptor model. After years of research, these products also may have functional benefits in encouraging feed intake during a stressful period, optimizing nutrient absorption and supporting gut health and maturation to promote ongoing growth and performance in pigs. SUCRAM products are available
across the globe in more than 45 countries. Specifeek and M’I Sweet will initially be launched in Europe.
A L L T E C H INT ROD U C E S EGALIS™ RANGE OF SILAGE
INOCULANTS Alltech is proud to introduce Egalis™, a new range of high-quality silage inoculants that maximise nutrient quality retention and reduce dry matter loss so producers will have more and better silage to feed and fewer concerns about wasting feed. Egalis controls and drives forage fermentations through the use of highly efficient homolactic bacteria and elements that inhibit fungal growth.
more of what they grow, from field to feed passage.” The Egalis range of silage inoculants available in Europe includes:
Egalis™ Ferment Suitable for use on all forages, Egalis Ferment efficiently and rapidly drives fermentation to a stable, final pH. It is comprised of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus, which work synergistically to rapidly lower the pH to the required final pH irrespective of the dry matter content or the buffering capacity of the forage. Benefits include maximising nutrient protection, reducing dry matter loss, and having more and better silage to feed.
Egalis™ Rapid Specifically formulated for all types of maize/ corn and sorghum silage, Egalis Rapid drives lactic fermentation and simultaneously maintains dry matter, digestibility and palatability. It is formulated using the very rapidly growing Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus. Benefits include protecting more dry matter, promoting digestibility in the final silage and optimising the efficiency of dairy cows and beef cattle.
“The Egal is range of products
brings together decades of expertise in fermentation, utilising bacteria strains specifically selected to maximise nutrient and dry matter protection,” said Matthew Smith, vice president at Alltech. “Together with our on-farm support teams and range of services, Alltech helps to improve fermentation to produce superior-quality silage, enabling producers to hold onto

Egalis™ Stability Suitable for use on all forage types, particularly in the event of heating due to aerobically challenged or high-dry-matter silage, Egalis Stability helps inhibit the growth of yeast and mould and enhances the stability of the silage during feeding. It is formulated using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus in combination with the highly antifungal potassium sorbate. Benefits include helping silage stay cooler in the bunker, in the total mixed ration (TMR) and in the feed passage, protecting more dry matter, and promoting digestibility and energy in the animal.
