This ingredient helps enrich the nutrients availability and enhances good digestion, maintenance the animals’ immune system.

• Isomaltooligosaccharide : Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) supports growth of bowel bacteria that enhance animal digestion. it may be used in feeds without being changed. Apart from providing additional feeds, IMO may make cattle digest their food better in the intestines and also help save money on animal productivity by increasing the efficiency of antibiotics and other pharmacological drugs.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Poultry Feeds, Ruminant Feeds, Pig Feeds, Aquaculture Feeds and Others.

• Poultry Feeds : In poultry feeds, prebiotics such as inulin and FOS hobble enrich gut health and rise up the immune system thus laying a good foundation for growth rates and feed efficiency of the birds which makes them healthy flock that will resist some common diseases enhancing the overall chicken production.

• Ruminant Feeds : Ruminant feeds, such as those meant for cattle as well as sheep contain prebiotics, which improve rumen microbial balance as well as facilitating better digestion and absorption of nutrients leading to increased milk yield among dairy cows as well as enhanced growth rates among beef cows thereby optimizing the total productivity levels of the herd.

• Pig Feeds : The good development rates and the high feed conversion rates in healthier pigs are improved healthily by IMO prebiotics in pig feeds; thus, this supports gastrointestinal health. This enhances animal welfare by making pig production more efficient and effective in general.

• Aquaculture Feeds : To make sure to allow the fish and shrimp gut health as well as immune function to boost, hence improving on their growth as well as survival rates. Therefore, this addition will help increase the efficiency of feeds, thus enhancing resistant infection and feed conversion efficiency which ensures sustainable and profitable aquaculture.
