Energy is the main cost component in poultry feed. Because of its high energy content, fats and oils are important energy sources. The digestibility of fat by animals is related to the source and type of fat, composition of the diet and the age of the animal. Oftentimes, young animals struggle to produce enough bile acids to digest fat and this can reduce the energy efficiency of feed as well as cause digestive problems and reduced performance.
Intra Liposol is a drinking water supplement that helps to improve fat digestion by enhancing fat dispersion which results in a better energy efficiency.
Lonneke Jansen - Product manager
Fat is becoming an increasingly expensive source of energy in feed not only in financial terms, but also in terms of environmental sustainability. Wastage of this rich source of energy should be reduced by ensuring that every drop of potential is harvested, equaling benefits for animal performance and encouraging responsible use of resources
Liquid product packed in white PE plastic bottles or cans with approved caps. Available in the packaging sizes below:
Intra Liposol is used with the following methods:
Layers/broilers:
150 – 250 ml/1000 L drinking water
Administer continuously for general growth promotion
Pigs (of all phases):
200 – 250 ml/1000 L drinking water
Administer continuously for general growth promotion
Therefore, we encourage producers to maintain drinking line cleanliness by using Intra Hydrocare at least once a week. For instructions on usage of Intra Hydrocare for maintenance, please refer to our Intra Hydrocare Maintenance Dosage Calculator.
Why should I need to improve the fat digestion of my animals?
Fat utilization can always improve. The digestibility of dietary fat depends on the source and type of fat, composition of the diet and the age of the animal. Young animals have limited ability to digest fat as their digestive system is not fully matured yet. Fats rich in saturated fatty acids are poorer digested and absorbed compared to unsaturated fats.
When should I use Intra Liposol?
Young animals have limited ability to fully utilize dietary fat. So it is adviced to apply Intra Liposol in the first period of life of animals; e.g. first week of broiler chicks.
Why should we add Intra Liposol to the drinking water when there is already enough emulsifier in the feed?
Emulsifiers added to the feed focus on improving the feed’s physical properties, and is therefore not added at levels that are focused on improving fat digestibility. Supplementation with Intra Liposol can achieve that goal.
Can Intra Liposol replace lipase in feed?
Within the fat digestion process, Intra Liposol has a different functioning compared to lipase. It is therefore adviced not to use Intra Liposol as a replacer for lipase in the feed.
The mode of action of Liposol is comparable to bile salts. Big fat or oil particles (which are poorly soluble) are emulsified by bile salts (or the Intra Liposol). As a result smaller emulsified fat particles are present in the intestine which mixes better with the aquatious environment of the intestine. After emulsification of the fat droplets it is time for the Lipase to do its job. Lipase breaks down fats into smaller fatty acids like monoglycerides which is important because otherwise the fats are too big to be absorbed by the intestine.
