speed doors which allow the successive cleaning of individual areas to ensure hygienic production and storage, to underfloor heating to prevent cross-contamination and dust, the building is designed with food safety to the fore. Equally playing their part are procedures such as regular testing, inspection and maintenance of equipment and risk assessment of all raw and secondary materials. Customers can be assured themselves, and pass on assurances in turn, of reliability, quality and security within the food chain of products of animal origin. This is encapsulated in the Biochem company motto “Feed Safety for Food Safety”. The highly accurate mixing system with automatic control ensures


very precise doses of active ingredients, while the modern filling systems allows for container sizes ranging from a 50g sachet up to one tonne bags as well as a wide variety of sizes and types of packaging for the liquid products. Storage is in a 15m high rack warehouse with 8500 pallet bays, all recorded electronically using a barcode system to record incoming and outgoing product so that the latest inventory information is always available. Over and above their own facilities, Biochem also commissions


manufacturing under licence of some new lines, when chemists and nutritionist from the product development team specify the need for capabilities which are not yet available in-house. As would be expected, this takes place under the control and direction of Biochem experts. When sales of these products achieve a sufficient volume and the


Bichem offers a very wide portfolio of products. By way of illustration, just a few selected examples from the 4FEED!® ranges are detailed below.


profits generated are high enough to ensure a return on investment, the necessary equipment is installed to allow production to be brought back in-house, according to a planned program. Biochem is proud of its contribution to sustainability through


maximising the efficiency of animal production. Matching the content of feeds as closely as possible to the needs of the animals and providing highly bioavailable and functional ingredients, ensures efficient feed use which not only leads to lower feed use and cost, but also reduces nutrient excretion. The effectiveness of Biochem’s entire product portfolio is regularly assessed by independent institutions to ensure animals are receiving safe, ecologically sound and economically optimal nutrition. In turn, this leads to meat, milk and eggs of the highest quality. Leaving the last words to Alexander: “We want customers to


understand the Biochem philosophy, to have confidence in our research and to trust in the fact that the company is technically smart and always reliable.”

4FEED!® Innovative feed additive concepts with a focus on dietary aspects to improve intestinal health and increase nutrient absorption. This forms the basis for healthy and productive animals and thus the economic success of livestock farming. For example:


Prebiotics, Probiotics & Synbiotics Prebiotics are carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the body’s own enzymes and therefore act as a fermentable substrate for the intestinal microbiota. They are used to positively influence the intestinal flora by promoting the good microorganisms in the intestinal tract such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Products include: TechnoYeast®


is a hydrolysate of the yeast Kluyveromyces fragilis, a


unique strain in the EU market, and is a highly digestible protein source for young animal diets. TechnoMos®


is an extracted prebiotic derived from cell walls of the


baker yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It provides high amounts of Mannan-Oligosaccharides (MOS) and ß-Glucans TripleP®


is a synbiotic that combines the positive effects of the


probiotic microorganisms Bacillus (B.) licheniformis DSM 5749 and B. subtilis DSM 5750 and TechnoMos®


.


Organic minerals It has been proven that organically bound trace and macro minerals have better bioavailability than inorganic sources, allowing an optimal


and efficient use of these essential micronutrients. Biochem offers a range of solutions to ensure an optimal supply of zinc, manganese, copper, iron, calcium and magnesium. E.C.O.Trace®


trace elements are bound to the smallest amino acid,


glycine. B.I.O.Key®


soy protein. B.I.O.Key®


trace minerals are bound to amino acids from hydrolysed macro minerals are bound to the amino acid lysine


Betaine products Betaine plays two important roles in metabolism as a methyl group supplier and an osmolyte. The Hepatron®


and both liquid and powder forms of anhydrous betaine.


Other ranges are Enzymes; Toxin binders; Emulsifiers; Acids and Colostrum Powders


FARM CONCEPTS Farm concepts products are developed according to the latest scientific progresses and offer effective and nutritive solutions for the multiple challenges of animal husbandry. Products include: Pigs Bimulac®


Pre: a complementary feeding stuff for newborn


piglets which contains immunoglobulins, modified yeast cell walls and two Bacillus strains to help prevent diarrhea and reduce the use of antibiotics. Poultry B.I.O.Sol: designed to support the development of a healthy gut flora helping to prevent diarrhea and to reduce the use of antibiotics. Cattle Bimulac®


Extra: a unique blend of Bacillus strains, immunoglobulins and prebiotic help to improve and maintain intestinal health


product range includes HCl powder
