BioProtect™: Rumen Protection Technology for High-Value Feed

Bypass Protein & Energy Protection for Commercial Feedmills

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

Overview

BioProtect delivers sophisticated rumen-protection technology specifically engineered for commercial feedmills and progressive home-mixers. This specialised treatment shields valuable nutritional components from early degradation in the rumen, allowing feedmills to successfully manufacture highly digestible bypass protein and high-energy feeds that maximise nutrient delivery directly to the lower gut.

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 BioProtect Works

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

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

Why Rumen Protection Matters

In high-performance ruminant systems, a significant proportion of valuable dietary protein and starch can be degraded in the rumen before reaching the lower digestive tract.

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

• Increase nutrient efficiency and utilisation.
• Support higher milk yield and milk protein production.
• Improve performance in high-energy dairy and beef diets.
• Reduce feed waste and cost per litre of milk produced.

Build Value Into Your Feed Range

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

• Produce your own protected protein and energy feeds.
• Capture additional margin rather than relying on reselling global brands.
• Develop more flexible, performance-led feed formulations.
• Strengthen customer loyalty with a differentiated product range under your own brand.

Suitable Feed Ingredients

BioProtect can be used with a range of protein-rich and energy-rich feed ingredients.

Protein sources:
Soybean meal, rapeseed/canola, sunflower meal, DDGS, brewers grains, corn gluten feed and 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.

Application: Simple Integration Into Feedmill Production

• Spray, mix and cure application process.
• No additional equipment or capital expenditure required.
• Suitable for compound feeds, blends and custom formulations.
• Scalable from pilot batches to full commercial production.
