What is FatUp?

FatUp is 85% palmitic acid (Hexadecanoic acid) is a common saturated fatty acid. In animal nutrition, palmitic acid can be added to feed as an energy source. It helps increase the energy density of feed and has positive effects on the growth performance and health status of certain animals. 

FatUp serves as a high-energy component that can effectively boost the energy density of feed, which is particularly useful for animals requiring extra energy support, such as growing young livestock, lactating, or pregnant females.

Benefits for Ruminant

1. Energy Supplementation

Increasing Energy Density: Palmitic acid serves as a high-energy source that can significantly increase the energy density of feed, helping to meet the energy requirements of high-producing dairy cows or other high-demand ruminants.

Enhancing Milk Fat Content: For dairy cows, appropriate supplementation with palmitic acid can help increase milk fat content, thereby improving milk yield and quality.

2. Application of Protected Fatty Acids

Coated Technology: To avoid negative impacts on the rumen environment (such as decreased pH) from adding free fatty acids directly, "coated" or "protected" fatty acid products are typically used. These products encapsulate the fatty acids through physical or chemical means, ensuring they pass through the rumen without being broken down and are effectively absorbed in the small intestine. This method not only avoids affecting the rumen microbial community but also ensures efficient utilization of the fatty acids.

3. Reproductive Performance

Improving Reproductive Efficiency: Moderate addition of palmitic acid can help improve reproductive performance in female livestock, such as increasing conception rates and embryo survival rates. This may be due to the additional energy provided by palmitic acid supporting normal reproductive system function and maintaining good body condition scores.

4. Immune Support

Enhancing Immune Response: Palmitic acid and other fatty acids play a crucial role in maintaining cell membrane integrity, which is fundamental to immune function. Adequate intake of palmitic acid can help enhance the immune response in ruminants, especially under stressful conditions.

5. Seasonal and Special Needs

Adapting to Environmental Changes: During cold seasons or high milk production periods, ruminants require more energy. Properly adding palmitic acid can meet higher energy demands, helping animals maintain optimal performance.
