Cristalfeed is a range of functional flavourings that attract animals to feed, rewarding them positively by activating the pleasure centre in the brain. Formulated to enhance appetite, they are the key to encouraging voluntary feed intake.
Cristalfeed flavourings are useful for helping livestock (ruminants – swine) overcome dietary challenges such as feed transitions, changes in raw materials or new feed.
Specially adapted to the needs of the animal, the Cristalfeed range is available in a wide variety of flavour profiles (milk-cream, vanilla, red fruits, fenugreek, etc.).
In livestock farming, poorly consumed feed represents inefficient expenditure for farmers. Ensuring good feed intake is therefore a major challenge, making flavourings truly invaluable resources.
Regardless of age, animals face various challenges directly related to feed, to which they respond by reducing their intake :
All of these challenges lead to decreases in feed intake, with a negative impact on performance in the long term. The Cristalfeed range has been developed to ensure the voluntary intake of feed by animals, while also offering a galenic formulation adapted to the constraints of feed manufacturing.
The Cristalfeed range contains attractant and palatable cores, formulated from the results of Phodé research. Adapted to each species, they help satisfy a variety of different preferences. The majority of Cristalfeed products are designed for multiple species and consequently provide flexibility of use.
Cristalfeed also offers you the option of customising your olfactory signature.
Aniseed and certain plant extracts have a persistent flavour and taste that is particularly appreciated by ruminants. Their attractant properties are widely recognised and they are also excellent masking agents for mineral formulations.
In addition, spices stimulate animals’ salivary and digestive processes, helping make the most of the ration.
A herbs & spices flavour is so much more than simply herbs and spices and can often differ from other flavours of its kind. Ellipsense, a visual representation developed by Phodé to illustrate the sensory identity of flavourings, is there to guide you to a deeper understanding of the flavouring. It helps put the perception of flavour characteristics into words by incorporating the notions of temporality and the mechanisms of perception.
Red fruit odours, especially strawberry, are well recognised by both young and adult animals.
They have an excellent intensity and aromatic persistence in feed.
Specific floral essences have also been identified and extracted by Phodé for their strong attractant properties.
A strawberry flavour is so much more than simply strawberry and can often differ from other flavours of its kind. Ellipsense, a visual representation developed by Phodé to illustrate the sensory identity of flavourings, is there to guide you to a deeper understanding of the flavouring. It helps put the perception of flavour characteristics into words by incorporating the notions of temporality and the mechanisms of perception.
Young and adult animals are naturally attracted to milky and vanilla scents as well as to sweet flavours.
Phodé has identified and distilled olfactory markers derived from maternal colostrum as well as plant-based active ingredients into its Cristalfeed flavours. They activate and potentiate the perception of sweetness.
A vanilla milk flavour is so much more than simply milk and vanilla and can often differ from other flavours of its kind. Ellipsense, a visual representation developed by Phodé to illustrate the sensory identity of flavourings, is there to guide you to a deeper understanding of the flavouring. It helps put the perception of flavour characteristics into words by incorporating the notions of temporality and the mechanisms of perception.
Cristalfeed flavourings are available in powder form for incorporation into feed or in liquid form for spraying. You then add Cristalfeed to feed at a concentration determined by the type of feed, animal and Cristalfeed product. For more information, please contact us.
