As a world leader and pioneer in the use of plant extracts for farm animals, Pancosma has developed the product range XTRACT® based on standardized micro-encapsulated combinations of naturally occurring active substances from aromatic plants and spices.

Supported by strong patents, today a complete line of specific XTRACT®- products are available for ruminants, pigs, and poultry. XTRACT® is used worldwide by major feed formulaters and premixers.

For many years, Pancosma has been exploiting nature’s potential with its huge variety of phytonutrients having beneficial effects on digestibility and feed utilization as well as stabilization of gut health and improvement of defences. These trend-setting solutions contribute significantly to improvement in livestock productivity without involving risks to animals, consumers or the environment.

The XTRACT® range is the result of an ambitious 10-year scientific program developed and executed in collaboration with universities and research centres worldwide. A 2-step research program is the basis of the development of new and innovative solutions for our customers.

The fundament of all XTRACT® products is the specific knowledge on phyto-molecules and their primary effects. With the help of digestive in vitro-models and in vivo-trials the mode of action on gut immunity, microbiome and gut sensing - so called ‘Gut Effects’ - are determined.

Our R&D team consists of nutritionists and physiologists who set up research programs and experimental protocols in order to validate the models in applied conditions to ensure that products lead to the desired response under commercial conditions.

A unique technology for unique pr oduct properties

All XTRACT® products are micro-encapsulated products and are manufactured through ISO-FUSION Technology® that guarantees:

• • protection of plant extracts leading to an optimal thermal stability of the additive and to the reduction of irritation during handling
• • an equal proportion of active ingredients in each micro particle
• • a constant and accurate release
• • a homogeneous particle size for optimal flowability
• • a consistent response in animal trials

Based on a clear understanding of the customers concerns and needs, the XTRACT® range delivers:

• • trend-setting and economical solutions for all types of farm animals
• • solutions for worldwide markets and legal situations
• • the requirements of modern livestock production
• • an improved animal performance, enhanced by proven gut effects
