PalmFat SL955
PalmFat SL955 is a lecithinised palm fat powder for monogastric animals made from fractionated palm fat combined with lecithin. It is free from trans fatty acids and rich in C-16 (Palmitic Acid).
Lecithin – a successful career for a valuable ingredient
-
Animal feed, foods, toiletries or medicinal preparations: lecithins play a valuable role in many areas of our daily life.
-
Some 180,000 tons of these fat-like substances (lipoids) are produced every year, mainly from soybeans. They help to enhance and guarantee the quality of numerous products.
-
Lecithins play an important role in animal nutrition, too. Also classified as “secondary plant metabolites”, these substances are known to have a positive effect in the nutrition of pigs and poultry, and especially in fish farming.
-
And there are indications that lecithin produces good results in cattle feeding, too.
Improving digestibility
-
In animal nutrition, lecithin are used as emulsifiers
-
They improve digestibility of the feed fats and fat-soluble vitamins
-
Either 1) “crude” lecithin – directly from vegetable fat or 2) “deoiled lecithin” produced by means of extraction
-
Crude lecithin
-
35-40% oil content
-
Viscous consistency
-
-
Deoiled lecithin
-
High proportion of phospholipids (>95%)
-
Available in powder form
-
Chemical Background
-
Lecithin belong to the phospholipids with the group of substances important for metabolism
-
The latter include phosphoric acid, glycerol, choline, inositol and also unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acid. They have a characteristic structure with a hydrophilic or polar group and a hydrophobic or non-polar group.
-
This polar structure makes lecithins excellent emulsifiers which can be used for stabilizing both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions.
Liquid or powder?
-
Deoiled lecithin is the most economical dosage form for feed.
-
Liquid crude lecithin is used mainly as a raw material for other lecithin powders on carriers.
-
These powders are made up on the basis of various carriers for different technical applications.
-
In this consistency they are easier to transport and dose. For technical reasons the phospholipid content in these lecithin powders on carriers is reduced to about one-third.
A diversity of effects
-
Effects of lecithin is either 1) physical-technical or 2) biochemical-physiological
-
Physical-technical effects - emulsifier, dispersant, releasing agent and waterbinding capacity.
-
Physiological effects - metabolism of lipoproteins, phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesterol of various densities (HDL, LDL, VLDL) for the intermediate transportation of fats.
-
Therefore, when added to fattening feed for pigs, lecithin permits much better conversion of fat thus improve fattening performance.
-
In milk substitutes it facilitates the feeding of calves and piglets, and it produces good results in broiler fattening and fish farming.
Fats In Broiler Diet
-
Supplementation of fat has become a normal practice in increasing energy density of broiler’s diet owing to its high caloric value.
-
It also lowers dustiness and elevates fat soluble vitamins contents in the diet.
-
Quality of fat has a great contribution to get better poultry growth and feed efficiency.
-
Vegetable fats are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, better digested and absorbed than animal’s fat which are rich in saturated fatty acids.
-
Exclusion of fat from diet of growing chicks resulted in growth retardation due to deficiency in fatty acids.
PalmFat SL955
-
PalmFat SL955 is a palm oil derivative, activated with special lecithin fractions and available in powdered form.
-
It has high melting point, which reduces the chances of rancidity.
-
It can be mixed homogenously, thoroughly and easily in the feed during its preparation.

Dosage In Feeds
-
The optimal dose is dependent upon the feed formulation
-
Typical dosage in feeds are:
-
Layer and breeder hens: 1-3%
-
Broilers: 2-5%
-
-
Store in a cool and dry place, in original unopened bags, without direct exposure to sunlight
-
Soft lumping may happen if it is stacked too high with many bags.
