Ruminant Nutrition

BioProtect™

Rumen Protected Protein & Starch Technology for Feedmills & Feed Producers

A formaldehyde-free rumen protection solution designed for feed manufacturers to produce high-value bypass protein and energy feeds using existing systems.

Overview

BioProtect™ is a rumen protection additive developed for feedmills, blenders and nutrition-led feed businesses looking to improve the value and performance of their feed formulations.

By reducing rumen breakdown and releasing nutrients later in the digestive tract, BioProtect enables the production of rumen-protected protein and starch feeds that deliver greater nutritional efficiency and improved on-farm results.

It allows standard raw materials to be upgraded into premium, value-added feeds — without changing your production process.

Key Benefits

• Enables production of rumen-protected (bypass) protein feeds
• Improves protein and starch utilisation in ruminant diets
• Supports milk yield and milk protein performance
• Helps reduce nitrogen losses and inefficiency
• Formaldehyde-free, UFAS-aligned formulation
• Simple integration into existing feedmill systems

How It Works

BioProtect binds nutrients at rumen pH, protecting protein and starch from microbial breakdown.

Once in the lower gut, the bond releases — allowing nutrients to be fully digested and absorbed where they deliver maximum value.

Why Rumen Protection Matters

In high-performance ruminant systems, a significant proportion of protein and starch can be lost through rumen degradation before it is fully utilised.

By improving bypass protein and moderating starch fermentation, BioProtect helps:

• Increase nutrient efficiency
• Support higher milk yield and milk protein
• Improve performance in high-energy diets
• Reduce feed waste and cost per litre

Build Value Into Your Feed Range

BioProtect gives feed producers the ability to move beyond commodity ingredients and create differentiated, higher-value feed products.

• Produce your own protected protein and energy feeds
• Capture margin instead of reselling global brands
• Formulate more flexible, performance-led rations
• Strengthen customer loyalty with your own product range

Suitable Feed Ingredients

Protein sources:
Soybean meal, rapeseed/canola, sunflower meal, DDGS, brewers grains, corn gluten feed, palm kernel expeller

Starch & energy sources:
Wheat, barley and other rapidly fermentable cereals

If you can mix, mill or pellet it — you can BioProtect it.
