Poligrow®

The technology that optimizes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. in animal nutrition

What is Poligrow®?

Poligrow® is a patented phosphorus and calcium optimizer technology based on omega 3, 6 and 9 oils. In addition to being an emulsifier, it acts as a carrier of calcium and phosphorus ions, forming complexes with these minerals and allowing them to be absorbed through a pathway different from the traditional mineral absorption: the lipid absorption pathway.

How it works

From the release of phosphorus trapped in the grain to its absorption by the animal, in four stages.

Phytase releases phosphorus.

Phytase breaks down phytate in grains and releases the phosphorus and calcium ions that were bound to it.

Gastric pH ionizes minerals.

The acidic environment of the stomach (in birds) or proventriculus/gizzard transforms Ca and P into free ions.

Poligrow® binds to ions

Through ionic bonding or saponification, forming a soap-like complex of calcium and phospholipids.

Absorption via lipids

The complex forms micelles along with bile salts and fat-soluble vitamins, also increasing the metabolizable energy of the feed.

Why is it innovative?

The two most commonly used sources of calcium and phosphorus today have costs beyond the financial ones.

Meat and bone meal

High sanitary risk: main source of salmonella and clostridium. Unsuitable for breeding stock and export.

Dicalcium phosphate

Finite mineral resource, increasing cost, real risk of scarcity.

Poligrow®

• Improves the absorption of what is already in the diet. • Less supplemental mineral needed, without sacrificing performance.

Environmental impact

Based on sales of products with Poligrow® to date (~1,653 tons), it is estimated that up to 12,975 tons of 19% phosphate have already been avoided, which did not need to be extracted, processed and transported.
