FRA® LeciMax
Dietary nutrient density is a key driver of efficiency and performance of animal feed. As production systems push for higher growth rates and improved feed conversion, the ability of animals to fully utilize the nutrients provided becomes increasingly important. LeciMax is developed to support this need by improving the availability and utilization of valuable dietary nutrients, particularly fats. The product improves both the digestion and the absorption of these nutrients, allowing animals to extract more energy from the same amount of feed.
- Improves emulsification of dietary fats
- Enhances hydrolysis of dietary fats
- Increases nutrient absorption
Hitting the physiological ceiling for nutrient density
Modern animal production relies heavily on high‑density diets to boost growth and improve feed conversion. These diets often require substantial additions of fats and oils, which are increasingly expensive and often difficult for animals to digest efficiently. Broilers, for example, naturally produce limited bile salts and lipase, which makes fat digestion challenging. As dietary fat levels increase, this limitation becomes more pronounced, reducing the animal’s ability to fully utilize high‑fat diets. As nutrient density continues to rise, animals initially show strong performance improvements but eventually hit a physiological ceiling where their digestive capacity becomes the limiting factor.
Where LeciMax comes in
Once this threshold is reached, the benefits of adding more fat diminish, and the animal can no longer extract sufficient energy from the diet on its own. This is where LeciMax provides a critical advantage. By improving the way dietary fats are processed, LeciMax supports animals in overcoming the natural digestive bottlenecks that occur with high‑density feeding strategies. This allows producers to either further improve growth and efficiency or strategically reformulate feed to reduce costs without sacrificing performance.
The Solution LeciMax Offers
LeciMax enhances the digestive process by improving the physical and biochemical digestion of fats within the gastrointestinal tract. It strengthens the emulsification process, supports more efficient enzyme activity, and boosts nutrient absorption across the intestinal wall. Through this multi‑step support, LeciMax ensures that animals can fully benefit from the energy‑rich diets they receive, ultimately leading to better performance, improved feed utilization, and greater production efficiency.
Mode of action
LeciMax supports natural emulsifiers such as bile acids and phospholipids, enabling the formation of a stable oil in water emulsion. This improved emulsification increases the surface area of dietary fats, making them more accessible for enzymatic breakdown.
By creating a more efficient emulsified fat interface, LeciMax enhances the hydrolysis of dietary fats, meaning it improves the enzymatic breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. This optimized fat interface also improves the action of both lipolytic enzymes and non‑lipolytic digestive enzymes, which can support the breakdown of other nutrients present in the feed.
Beyond digestion, LeciMax supports mixed micelle formation and improves intestinal permeability. This enables nutrients to be absorbed more effectively through the intestinal wall, ensuring that animals fully benefit from the energy and nutrients supplied in the feed.
