XTract website launched

The bioactive division of Pancosma has recently launched a separate web-site for its XTRACT range of feed additives. www.xtract.cc.

XTRACT Dairy is the first product to be featured. It will be followed by XTRACT for Pigs, Poultry and Calves. XTRACTproducts contain specially selected micro-encapsulated active substances naturally occurring in aromatic plants and spices. They all have proven effects in animal nutrition programmes. Two main reasons are given for the growing interest in this form of product. Firstly it is due to nutritionists seeking solutions because of the removal of antibiotic growth promoters. Secondly because more and more independent data confirms their efficacy and economic worth in a wide range of feeding systems.

The impetus to create a stand-alone XTRACT site came from an increasing awareness by the livestock producer of the potential commercial benefits of the XTRACT products. The approach therefore has been to present the information in a style which demonstrates to the farmer how he can use XTRACT in his feeding programme and the extra production he can expect. Already XTract is the choice of several of the largest integrated livestock producers globally. The demand for XTRACT is just as great outside the EU as inside - a clear demonstration of the nutritional value of such a plant extract based product.
