Great interest in raw fibre components at EUROTIER 2024 in Hanover

The biennial international trade fair on animal welfare took place for a full four days from 12 November to 15 November 2024. JELU-WERK was represented there for the first time with its own stand. Visitors to the trade fair were able to find out more about our raw fibre components JELUVET® and JELUCEL®. Our all-natural celluloses and lignocelluloses are nutrient-neutral and standardisable feed components with a high swelling capacity. They can be added to livestock and pet food formulations to increase the crude fibre content of the feed in a targeted and safe manner. Animal producers, feed manufacturers and retailers in the sector showed great interest in Hanover. Both long-standing customers and partners were welcomed to exchange ideas and potential new partnerships were initiated.

Großes Interesse an Rohfaserkomponenten auf der EUROTIER 2024 in Hannover

Ganze vier Tage vom 12.11. – 15.11.2024 fand die zweijährig stattfindende internationale Fachmesse zum Thema Tierwohl statt. Das JELU-WERK war dort erstmalig mit einem eigenen Stand vertreten. Dort konnten sich die Besucher der Fachmesse über unsere Rohfaserkomponenten JELUVET® und JELUCEL® informieren. Unsere naturreinen Cellulosen und Lignocellulosen sind nährstoffneutrale und standardisierbare Futtermittelkomponenten mit hoher Quellfähigkeit. Sie können Nutz- und Heimtierfutterrezepturen zugegeben werden, um den Rohfasergehalt des Futtermittels gezielt und sicher zu erhöhen. Die Tierproduzenten, Futtermittelhersteller und Händler der Branche zeigten sich in Hannover sehr interessiert. Sowohl langjährige Kunden und Partner konnte man zum Austausch begrüßen, sowie potenzielle neue Partnerschaften fanden ihren Anfang.

Lignocellulose: optimal crude fibre for feeding sows

Crude fibres have a positive impact on the animal welfare of breeding sows. The solubility and fermentability of the fibres are essential for this effect to take place. Insoluble and non-fermentable crude fibres such as our JELUVET® lignocellulose improve the sow’s well-being. But that’s not all! A field trial conducted in Brazil shows that our JELUVET® lignocellulose also has a positive influence on piglet breeding.

Lignocellulose and cellulose: dietary fibre for pet food

Lignocellulose and cellulose are used in pet food as dietary fibre - also referred to as crude fibre in animal feed. Both feed materials are neutral in taste. According to studies, the added dietary fibre in the food stimulates peristalsis, shortening the time it takes for the food to pass through the large intestine. Food rich in dietary fibre, therefore, prevents sluggish bowel movements and constipation. Both lignocellulose and cellulose bind water and give structure to the faeces, improving its consistency. Even animals with a tendency to soft, improperly formed stools can benefit from these dietary fibres. Do lignocellulose and cellulose, however, really have the same effects?

Edible oil filtration: ecological and economical

Before an edible oil lands on supermarket shelves, it runs through several process steps to achieve the desired quality. Undesirable components such as suspended solid particles, water and waxes are filtered out of the oil. This is done using filter aids in precoat filtration. With JELUCEL®, JELU-WERK offers a renewable filter aid that has ecological and economic advantages for edible oil filtration.

Filtration of fooding oil: ecological and economical

Bevor ein Speiseöl in den Supermarktregalen landet, durchläuft es diverse Prozessschritte, um die gewünschte Qualität zu erzielen. Unerwünschte Bestandteile wie Trubstoffe, Wasser und Wachse werden aus dem Öl herausgefiltert. Dabei kommen Filterhilfsmittel in der Anschwemmfiltration zum Einsatz. Mit JELUCEL® bietet das JELU-WERK ein nachwachsendes Filterhilfsmittel, das ökologische und ökonomische Vorteile für die Filtration von Speiseöl hat.

Crude fibre component low in phosphorus and nitrogen: lignocellulose

The substance flow balance of the new German Fertiliser Application Ordinance forces agricultural enterprises to set the phosphorus content of the feed accurately. Consequently, there is little room for variation in the phosphorus content. Different crude fibre sources can add different amounts of additional phosphorus to the ration. Lignocellulose, which is low in phosphorus, is especially suitable for use as a crude fibre component for a phosphorus-reduced feeding strategy.

Lignocellulose: a nutrient-independent feed supplement

Lignocellulose is a natural feed supplement which increases the crude fibre content of animal food. The crude fibre content of food is an important factor in pet health. Although the food formulation specifies how high the optimal content should be, studies show repeatedly that the crude fibre ration of animals is insufficient. Lignocellulose has a constant high crude fibre content. Therefore, our JELUVET® lignocellulose makes it possible to feed an optimal, standardised crude fibre portion.
