Sustainable Animal Feed Additive: Kolin Plus as a Case Study

The growing demand for environmentally responsible farming has intensified the need for sustainable animal feed solutions that balance productivity

Animal Feed Additive

The growing demand for environmentally responsible farming has intensified the need for sustainable animal feed solutions that balance productivity with planetary health. Feed additives play a crucial role in improving animal growth and metabolism, yet their environmental impact is often overlooked.

Recognizing that climate change is a real and pressing challenge, we at Natural Remedies took a closer look at the environmental and safety concerns surrounding conventional feed additives. Synthetic Choline chloride, used in poultry diets for choline supplementation, is a by-product of the petroleum industry, is not only detrimental to the planet but also poses risks to handlers due to its corrosive and hygroscopic nature. It readily absorbs moisture, leading to the formation of lumps and damaging vital components such as vitamin premixes. This understanding inspired us to develop a more responsible and innovative alternative.

Kolin Plus, our phytogenic solution, offers the same nutritional efficacy while being safer for people, animals, and the planet. As a sustainable animal feed additive supplement, it blends seamlessly with vitamin premixes without forming lumps, ensuring better stability, maintaining feed quality, and providing handling convenience.

Kolin Plus, developed by Natural Remedies, is a phytogenic formulation designed as an alternative to synthetic choline chloride. Its unique composition, derived from natural ingredients, supports efficient fat metabolism, fat mobilisation and enhances muscle growth. What makes Kolin Plus exceptional is its measurable contribution to sustainable animal feed practices.  Kolin Plus reduces carbon footprint, optimizes resource use, and enhances safety across the feed value chain — a key step towards creating more sustainable feed systems.

When compared to conventional synthetic choline chloride, Kolin Plus demonstrates significant reductions in environmental impact. For every ton produced, Kolin Plus emits approximately 579 kg of CO₂ equivalent, while synthetic choline chloride emits about 1,020 kg of CO₂ equivalent. This nearly 43% reduction in global warming potential highlights its value as a truly sustainable animal feed additive. It also produces lower levels of terrestrial acidification and freshwater eutrophication, reducing its overall environmental burden and further establishing its ecological superiority.

Beyond emissions, Kolin Plus significantly improves resource efficiency. It requires less mineral resource input — 0.495 kg Cu eq compared to 34.7 kg Cu eq for synthetic choline chloride — demonstrating a drastic reduction in dependency on non-renewable resources.

.For poultry producers, Kolin Plus offers more than an environmental advantage. It contributes to safer handling conditions, reduced feed corrosion, and consistent animal performance, making it a reliable choice for those embracing sustainable chicken feed practices. By replacing synthetic compounds with phytogenic alternatives, producers can meet rising consumer expectations for transparency and sustainability without compromising productivity.

In conclusion, Kolin Plus exemplifies how innovation in phytogenic technology can accelerate the global transition toward sustainable animal feed systems. Its lower carbon footprint, reduced resource dependency, and superior environmental performance make it a benchmark for the next generation of sustainable feed additives. As the animal nutrition industry continues to evolve, solutions like Kolin Plus pave the way for a more balanced, eco-conscious, and resilient food system , one that sustains both animals and the planet.
