Key Products

• Anco FIT—Anco® FIT contains bioactive substances derived from plant extracts and a blend of functional carriers. It is specifically formulated to empower high-performing animals to overcome naturally-occurring dietary challenges and stressors, enabling them to improve their performance potential.
• Biuret—Biuret is an exclusive, cost-effective, controlled-release, non-protein nitrogen (NPN) source for ruminants. Biuret’s predictable and safe rumen ammonia release pattern allows for greater formulation flexibility for both beef and dairy rations. Biuret, available in the U.S., is not hygroscopic and is superior to urea-based products for all applications where supplemental NPN is required, including free-choice minerals, blocks and tubs, range cubes, conventional rations and liquid feed applications. The unique nature of biuret makes it easy to include in ruminant diets while lowering cost of production.
• Dipteracide®/IGR (Insect Growth Regulator)—Dipteracide (ADM methoprene) is the most cost-effective method to rid cattle herds of horn flies. Available in the U.S., incorporating Dipteracide into cattle diets is not only easy, but highly effective. Cows become the applicator by consuming feed-through methoprene, which acts by inhibiting the development of horn fly larvae into adults.
• Endo-Fighter®—Endo-Fighter® offers a beneficial solution for cattle grazing fescue pastures to counter the harmful effects of fescue toxicosis which causes vasoconstriction, inducing heat stress and appetite suppression and results in serious economic losses in terms of lower gains, reduced body condition score, reduced milk production and impaired reproductive efficiency. Endo-Fighter is comprised of a patented combination of functional ingredients that counter the challenges that arise when cattle consume endophyte-infected fescue forages.

• Energy Burst™—ADM Animal Nutrition research has proven modified starches can be successfully used as alternative energy sources in nursery diets, and we pack several modified starches into our patent-pending proprietary product Energy Burst™. Available in the U.S., major individual components of Energy Burst have been shown to be readily available energy sources. In our swine nursery studies, Energy Burst showed positive results for growth performance in nursery pigs.
• Natural Source Vitamin E—Chemically unique and biologically superior, Nova-E™ natural-source vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol), is preferentially retained by body tissues. When compared to synthetic vitamin E, natural-source vitamin E is retained better and for a longer time in the body, making it more bioavailable. Vitamin E plays an integral supportive role for immune function. During stressful production stages, natural-source vitamin E may be especially beneficial.
