HOW WE CAN HELP
Research Results
Ralco has conducted university research trials and commercial trials across the world, in a range of poultry production systems, to ensure consistent performance with reduced challenges on every farm.
-
Microfused® Essential Oils TechnologyMicrofused Essential Oil technology transforms essential oils and plant extracts into solutions that naturally improve the health and immunity of animals. This essential oil technology helps serve as a natural alternative to antibiotic growth promoters, giving producers more tools to fight disease challenges.
-
Actifibe® PrebioticActifibe Prebiotic preferentially feeds beneficial bacteria throughout the entire gut and enhances the immune system of animals. This results in animals with greater gut health, improved feed efficiency and weight gain, strenghtened immunity and less health challenges.
-
Microbial Catalyst® TechnologyIn ruminants, Microbial Catalyst helps improve nutrient conversion by increasing fiber digestibility to provide more energy for production and growth. In the soil, Microbial Catalyst helps make nutrients in the soil and fertilizer more available to the plant. This results in healthier crops that use less inputs.
ESSENTIAL OILS SINCE 2000
Helping poultry producers overcome production challenges with natural solutions is why we set out to develop a better essential oil product in the early 2000s. Our goal is to give you the natural tools you need to be successful and less stressed by challenges like necrotic enteritis and coccidiosis.
EXPERTISE
To create essential oil products producers could trust, Ralco dedicated two decades to research and development in which Ralco acquired several patents and patents-pending on essential oils and their use. This led to the creation of the NEXUS™ formulation approach that helps producers match the correct levels and combinations of essential oils and plant extract properties they need to overcome challenges.
EFFICACY
Over the years we learned that essential oils are volatile and require the Microfusion® process to be consistent. Similar to oil and water, the gut is a liquid environment. If essential oils are not equipped with the correct delivery system, they will not make consistent contact in the gut of an animal and repel this liquid environment. Ralco essential oils are transformed through Microfusion to ensure they are stable and consistent.
CONSISTENCY
Essential oils are derived from plants. Just like any crop, there's natural variability in quality based on growing seasons, geography, growing conditions, etc. To ensure consistent performance on every farm, Ralco contracts and controls our essential oil supply with carefully selected and exclusive growers.
ORGANIC OPTIONS AVAILABLE
Ralco essential oils products are now OMRI Listed® for organic use! The product line includes feed additives, water additives, and animal health products all designed to keep your flock healthy with less challenges.
