Advantages of use

PEELKO

The PEELKO supplement neutralizes the negative physiological effects of certain components found in rapeseed products intended for animal feeding.

The physiological effects of rapeseed meal or rapeseed pellets treated with 2.5% PEELKO are:

  • As a result of the treatment, livestock digest glucosinolates found in rapeseed and rapeseed products to a lesser extent, with a greater portion excreted in their feces, thus not causing pathological changes.
  • PEELKO releases microelements bound to the phenolic components of the feed and increases the exoenzyme activity of microbes in the intestine. By exerting its biochemical effects, the digestibility of raw protein in treated rapeseed meal increases.
  • The additive also enhances the activity of fiber-degrading enzymes, thus improving the digestibility of fibers. Consequently, depending on the animal species and growth phase, the concentration of dietary crude fiber can be 10-35% higher. (For broilers, it can be 10-30% higher, for laying hybrids, it can be 30-35% higher, and for fattening animals, it can be 10-35% higher in dietary crude fiber concentration.)
  • Rapeseed meal contains a provitamin called choline, which aids in liver detoxification. Due to the additive, 75% instead of 25% of the choline is released, thus its beneficial effect is evident.
  • Feeding rapeseed meal treated with PEELKO does not result in feed refusal, and the "rapeseed flavor" is not present in animal products either.
  • Rapeseed meal treated with 2.5% PEELKO can be stored for 6 months without deterioration in quality.

PEELKO in animal feeding:

  • Untreated rapeseed meal or rapeseed pellets, produced as by-products of vegetable oil manufacturing, can only be mixed in limited quantities (at a ratio of 3-8%) into animal feed due to the harmful physiological effects of antinutritive components like glucosinolates, phenols, and detrimental fiber content.
  • The proportion of rapeseed meal treated with PEELKO can reach up to 30% in monogastric animals' feed.

Poultry

PEELKO also enhances the activity of fiber-degrading enzymes, thereby improving fiber digestibility. Consequently, depending on the rearing phase, the concentration of crude fiber in feeds can be 10-35% higher. This can result in a 10-30% higher crude fiber concentration in feeds for broilers and a 30-35% higher concentration for laying hybrids.

When feeding poultry with rapeseed meal, it is common for them to reject the feed due to its distinctive taste and smell, and occasionally, the "rapeseed flavor" may also appear in the animal product. However, this is not the case with PEELKO-treated rapeseed meal, as the treatment results in the disappearance of the characteristic "rapeseed taste and smell" from both the feed and the animal product.

Recommended proportion of treated rapeseed meal in the feed (max. %):
Poultry
Starteer Grower Finisher
broiler 10% 25% 25%
turkey 10% 20% 25%
waterfowl 22% 30% 25%
