Co-development
Built around the function.
Tell us the result you need. We work back to the fatty acid.
Better starts with the question.
Many fat decisions are made on price and crude fat alone. We start earlier: what the animal needs, what the ration already supplies and how you will measure success.
From there we work with your nutritionist or technical team to choose, test and deliver the right fatty acid solution. Five steps, one shared target.
1Define
Start with the animal and the target.
We sit down with your nutritionist or technical team to agree what better means: milk fat, energy balance, growth or a process result. We look at the current ration, what you use today and how success will be measured.
- Target and measure agreed
- Current ration reviewed
- Constraints noted
2Select
Choose the fatty acid.
Using our fatty acid chemistry and published research, we shortlist the chain length, the C16:0 to C18:1 balance and the form that fit your animal and ration.
- Profile and form shortlisted
- Research checked
- Samples prepared
3Refine
Test, adjust, test again.
Our lab checks the fatty acid profile and key properties of each option. Where needed, we make pilot batches in our own plants and adjust until the specification is right.
- Lab analysis
- Pilot batches
- Specification agreed
4Perform
Prove it on farm.
We help you plan a practical trial, agree what to measure and review the results together. Real animals, real rations.
- Trial plan
- Results reviewed together
- Decision made with you
5Supply
Deliver it, every time.
Once it works, we move to full production in our plants. The same specification and documents, shipment after shipment, and a team to call when conditions change.
- Full-scale production
- Consistent specification
- Ongoing support
What we bring.
Our own plants and lab, working next to your team.
Lab analysis and samples.
Fatty acid profile and key properties checked in our lab, with samples for you to test.
Pilot and trial batches.
Small runs in our plants before full-scale production.
Support for your trials.
We help plan and follow feeding or process trials at your site.
Co-development in action.
A few recent projects. Details stay with our customers.
- Dairy
New profiles for calcium salts.
- The need
- Recent dairy research compared different balances of C16:0 and C18:1 in the diet of lactating cows.
- What we did
- We reshaped the fatty acid profile of our calcium salts to follow that research and produced the new profiles in our own plant.
- The result
- New C16:0 to C18:1 ratios, now offered alongside our traditional grades.
- Industrial
From tallow to palm.
- The need
- A customer relied on tallow-based oleic acid, with a supply that varied.
- What we did
- We offered a palm-based oleic acid and supported the customer through the switch.
- The result
- A plant-based source with a more consistent supply.
- Frying
A frying oil built together.
- The need
- A food customer wanted better performance from their frying oil.
- What we did
- We worked through oil blends and antioxidant options with their team.
- The result
- A blend chosen for their fryers and their products.
