desire to enter the robot and so increase milking visits.” Robo-Mol is a 55% dry matter molasses


based liquid feed which has been specially filtered to achieve optimum flowability through a robot system. It is a 12.7MJ ME, 6.5% protein feed containing 64% sugar. It is formulated to be fed at an initial rate of 65-70g per visit. “Its principal role is to act as an


inducement for animals to enter the robot rather than being a feed per se. That said, it has been formulated to replace dairy compounds if required, with an IBC being sited above the robot to allow a higher feed rate.” In trials run in conjunction with the Lely


Centre Yeovil on several robotic milked herds, Robo-Mol has received positive user feedback. Visits per cow increased and milk yields increased by around 1.5 litres per day with feed rates of around 200g/day. Users reported that by making Robo-Mol available, heifers were easier to train. Robo-Mol is available in 1000L IBCs delivered to farm.


KEMIN LAUNCHES KESSENT® AND CHOLIGEM™ TO COMPLETE ITS “RUMINANT ESSENTIALITIES”


PRODUCT PORTFOLIO Kemin Industrieshas unveiled two new product ranges in its Ruminant Essentialities portfolio of solutions for proper animal nutrition and health:


• KESSENT ® , available January 2020,


is a product range of new Kemin- developed-and-produced rumen- protected Methionine, a necessary amino acid in ruminant diets, which works with Lysine—also a Kemin ingredient—for the best precision feeding. • CholiGEM™, also available January 2020, is a Choline nutrition product developed and produced by Kemin, and which rounds out the Ruminant Essentialities portfolio.


Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health –


EMENA debuted KESSENT and CholiGEM during an exclusive technical seminar recently in Athens, where Kemin introduced its newly created Ruminant Essentialities product portfolio. “Ruminant Essentialities by Kemin


consists of two pillars: amino acid solutions, including the KESSENT Methionine range


of solutions, LysiGEM™, LysiPEARL™ and MetiPEARL™, and solutions for improving animal health, including CholiGEM™, NutriCAB™, KemTRACE™ and TOXFIN®


Stefaan Van Dyck, President, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA According to the latest nutritional


models, ruminant diets must meet Methionine and Lysine needs. Therefore, nutritionists need a reliable source of both rumen-protected amino acids and the right technical knowledge for appropriate and profitable implementation. “Kemin is the only global company that


provides both rumen-protected amino acids Methionine and Lysine in a reliable way. We are proud to be leading our industry with KESSENT, designed for a new way of farming that is based on fully tested and sustainable solutions,” said Diego Martinez del Olmo, Product Manager, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA. “Kemin’s unique combination of special technical protection and ideal core technology, along with the right particle size and specific gravity, provides a high stability and homogeneity in a rumen-protected Methionine. These key characteristics supply the highest amount of Methionine available by the animal, as shown by the high rumen escape and high intestinal digestibility.” The new KESSENT range of Methionine solut ions wi l l include the avai lable products:


• KESSENT ® M – the best source of


metabolizable Methionine because of its unique encapsulation and core technology • KESSENT ®


MF Liquid – a liquid,


pellet-stable, rumen-protected Methionine • KESSENT ®


stable, rumen-protected Methionine • KESSENT ®


MF Dry – a dry, pellet- MF Arome Dry – a


dry, pellet-stable, rumen-protected Methionine with improved palatability and feed smell


With the KESSENT launch in January


2020, Kemin will be the only provider of both Methionine and Lysine in a reliable way. Kemin’s Ruminant Essentialities portfolio offers a comprehensive set of amino acids for ruminant amino acid nutrition and health. Kemin’s other newly debuted ingredient, CholiGEM, supports animal health improvement, making Ruminant Essentialities a full-range solution for livestock health and nutrition needs.

“Choline has received the most focus ,”


in ruminant health nutrition because of its contribution to better liver functioning during transition phase management and early lactation,” said Deepak Dubey, Product Manager, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA. “In addition to higher production levels, Choline’s role in immunity, health and reproduction creates a strong argument for the essentiality of Choline nutrition in sustainable and profitable dairy farming.” Kemin scientists have invested more


than half a decade into designing a unique C3 model so that the next generation of encapsulated Choline solution – CholiGEM – achieves the best results from Choline supplementation.


The uniqueness of this model includes: • Choline Core: Kemin has developed its own Choline core – a true innovation. This discovery resulted in the right form, particle size and specific gravity in its new product, CholiGEM. • Scientific Coating: Kemin encapsulated the Choline core with different levels of technical ingredients to improve the coating strength. This coating isn’t too strong or too weak, but a perfect scientific balance. Excellent results were found with a very high scientific balance of Choline Chloride in the encapsulation. • Choline Concentration: Today, most commercially available encapsulated Choline Chloride products contain a very low percentage of Choline Chloride. Kemin’s Choline core encapsulated with scientific coating resulted in double the Choline Chloride in CholiGEM and superior bioavailability.


This model provides high stability and


homogeneity in rumen-protected Choline. These key characteristics supply the highest amount of Choline available to the animal as a result of the high rumen escape and high intestinal digestibility. Kemin’s innovation has resulted in CholiGEM, which brings superior bioavailability with a highly concentrated source of encapsulated Choline Chloride. CholiGEM and the KESSENT product


range will be available in the EMENA market beginning January 2020. Contact your Kemin sales representative for more information on the newest suite of solutions. To learn more about Methionine and Choline nutrition from Kemin, please visit: www. kemin.com
