Dear Reader,

Berg + Schmidt’s global success in the feed industry is the result of our competence in lipids and enzymes. The key to our in-novativeness is applications research at our Technology Centre in Ahrensburg, near Hamburg, and worldwide cooperation with universities and specialists in the field of animal nutrition.

The emphasis of our work with lipids is on fat powders of all kinds for poultry, cattle and pigs. But besides that we are constantly working on new ideas for phospholipid- activated liquid fat compounds, deoiled pure lecithins and conjugated linoleic acids.

We are strong in the field of enzymes, too. Here we offer multifunctional enzyme com-plexes in the form of a micro-granulate for poultry and pigs.

The constantly growing demand for concen-trated lecithins in powder form for the food and feed industry has motivated us to build Asia’s biggest facility for the production of deoiled lecithins in Singapore. On two separate plants we produce both non-GMO and GMO lecithins of food standard in order to meet all quality requirements. The facil-ity will start production early in 2013 with an annual output of about 4,000 tonnes of deoiled lecithin. Unlike other emulsifiers, lecithins have a threefold effect. They sup-ply the metabolism with essential nutrients, improve the digestibility of fats and are also powerful emulsifiers. The viscous lecithins with their approximately 35% crude oil con-tent are not concentrated enough to achieve an adequate effect in numerous applica-tions. That is why more deoiled lecithin is being used in the production of both food and animal feed.

EDITORIAL

Welcome to the latest issue of “BestFeed”!

Andreas Reith

Managing Director,

Berg + Schmidt GmbH & Co. KG

The main topic of this issue of our news-letter BestFeed is conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). These activated lipids have a specific positive effect on the metabolism of all ani-mals. In the context of financially success-ful animal nutrition, CLAs still seem to be an underestimated factor.

We shall be informing our customers of our new products at the EuroTier exhibition in Hanover, from 13 to 16 November. We would be pleased to welcome you, too, for a meet-ing on our stand.

We wish you enjoyable reading.

BergaZym P100: efficient multi-enzyme product for fast-growing porkersOnce again a trial demonstrated impressively that BergaZym P100 improves the financially relevant performance criteria in pig fattening.

Optimum feed conversion is essential for the production of healthy pigs and is one of the factors that determine the success of fattening. So it is common practice to add enzymes to feed rations containing a large proportion of cereal in order to improve the digestibility of the nutrients and thus pro-mote feed conversion and growth.

In order to demonstrate the efficacy of the enzyme product BergaZym P100 from Berg + Schmidt a fattening trial over 112 days was conducted with a total of 144 hybrid piglets (50 percent each females and cas-trates) at an Italian experimental station. The main components of the feed were wheat, soy meal, barley, sorghum and wheat bran. Whereas no further additives were given to the control group, the treatment group re-ceived an additional 100 g BergaZym P100 per tonne of feed.

In order to rate the efficacy of BergaZym P100, the relevant data were collected on the 56th day and again at the end of the trial. It

was found that the addition of enzymes had promoted the pigs’ growth significantly over the entire fattening period (see Table 1).

These effects were reinforced by a slightly lower feed uptake, which meant that feed conversion in the BergaZym group had im-proved significantly too (see Figure 1).

One interesting result was that the ad-ministration of BergaZym P100 had a much more noticeable effect on the female ani-mals than on the castrates. The conclusion to be drawn from this is that separation of the sexes in the finishing period should be considered when the feed is supplemented with enzymes.

Finally, it may be deduced from the trial that the performance of fattening pigs can be enhanced considerably by the use of BergaZym P100 (see Table 2).

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) are inter-mediate products that come about through the microbial conversion of linoleic acid to stearic acid in the rumen. But it is less well known that they are also synthesized directly in the intermediary metabolism of ruminants and monogastric animals.

The literature contains positive assessments of feeding CLAs to promote energy metabo-lism in various animal species. The reason is that excess amounts of energy are used less for creating reserves in the form of depot fat and more for muscle growth and thus weight increase.

In order to test the possible effect of CLAs on the performance and carcass quality of porkers, Berg + Schmidt initiated a trial with the product LodeStar CLA L50 at the National Research Institute of Animal Production (In-

stytut Zootechniki) in Pawlowice, Poland. 111 female piglets (average weight just under 30 kg) of the Polish porker breed “Line 990” were divided into three groups and kept in pairs. They were fed ad lib. with stand-ard starter and finishing feed, whereby the animals in CLA group 1 were given a ration with 0.25 % Lodestar CLA L50 and those in CLA group 2 a ration with 0.5 % LodeStar CLA L50 as against the control group without CLA supplementation. Since the level of energy in the feed is highest in the finishing phase, the growth range between 70 kg and 100 kg was considered in the trial.

With regard to daily growth rates, the two CLA groups achieved growth performance 10.7 % and 18.6 % respectively above the values for the control group. The synergisms between growth and considerably better feed conversion resulted in final weights of

99.2 kg and 101.9 kg respectively in the CLA groups. This was clearly superior to the re-sult of 97 kg for the control group (see Fig. 1). It can be deduced from this that the animals supplemented with CLAs can reach the final weight of the control animals three to six days earlier. If the same slaughter weight is to be achieved, the addition of LodeStar CLA L50 could shorten the fattening period by several days.

LodeStar CLA L50:Guaranteed success in pig fatteningA new study proves that LodeStar CLA L50 improves carcass performance in terms of both quantity and quality.

Pork production is on the increase

As populations grow, so the demand for meat in general

and pork in particular is increasing. Last year, over 110

million tonnes of pork were produced worldwide – an

increase of nearly one percent over the previous year.

Nearly half of this amount, a good 53 million tonnes,

was produced in China. The EU followed with 22.5 million

tonnes. For the foreseeable future a continuous growth

rate of two percent is forecast.

Furthermore, the literature indicates that CLAs have a positive effect on carcass quality, and this was confirmed by the addition of LodeStar CLA L50 in this trial. The larger the percentage of CLAs in the feed, the higher was the carcass weight and the proportion of lean meat. Parallels to this can also be seen in the significantly thinner fat cover of 1.92 cm for the animals in CLA group 2 as compared to 2.12 cm for the animals in the control group without the addition of CLAs (see Fig. 2).

Conclusion:

The trial proved explicitly that the addition of CLAs to the feed in the final phase of fat-tening greatly improves the important per-formance parameters of daily weight gain, finished weight and feed conversion and the quality parameters of carcass weight and the proportion of lean meat. So not only does the use of LodeStar L50 reduce the feed costs of porkers; it also results in car-cass qualities that achieve a higher selling price.

In some countries like Poland and Hungary, goose fattening is a significant economic factor. As in other sectors of agricultural production, economy is essential in order to safeguard the profitability and competitive-ness of the farm.

Since over half of the production costs in poultry farming are for feed, it makes sense to use effective additives in the feed ration. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), for example, have recently become a talking point, since they have already been used successfully to sup-plement rations for other farm animals. Numerous tests and also practical experience have already confirmed that they have a favourable effect on metabolism – speeding up growth and enhanc-ing carcass quality.

Against this background the universities of Peking and Shandong Qingdao conducted a study to establish whether these

modified forms of linoleic acid also have a positive effect on the performance param-eters relevant to profitable goose fattening. In this trial covering a period of 56 days, 48 geese of the “Wulong” breed were divided into groups on a random basis and fed with a maize/soy ration (59.5% / 30.5 %, 11.7 MJ/kg, 18.9% RP) from a weight of 78/79 g. The 2.5% soya oil in the ration for the control group was replaced by 0.5% CLA oil * in the ration for the trial group.

The performance parameters listed in Table 1 show increased growth in the trial group: 5.8% in the early stage of fattening and 10% in the final stage. Moreover, feed conver-sion improved significantly, by 13.2% and 22.7% respectively. The amount of abdomi-nal fat decreased significantly from 1.57% to 0.94%.

These results can be explained by the fact that CLAs help to use the energy in the feed more specifically for growth rather than for the formation of depot fat.

The economic analysis shows that by add-ing CLAs to an assumed amount of 1,000 t of fattening feed for geese it is possible to produce 71,634 kg more live weight – an in-crease of 24.3%.

Conjugated linoleic acids – CLAs for short – are isomers of linoleic acid that occur in ani-mal fats. Although they exist in monogastric animals too, they are only found at higher concentrations in the body fat of ruminants and in products derived from ruminants such as meat, milk and cheese. They are formed as an intermediate product in the rumen during the bacterial conversion of linoleic acid to stearic acid and also directly in the course of metabolism. The main nutritional significance of the CLAs lies in the fact that they act as an important source of energy in the metabolic process. For use with dairy cows, B+S combines the properties of the CLAs with those of fractionated palm fat in the product LodeStar CLAME-P10.

For a trial with LodeStar CLAME-P10 from Berg + Schmidt, 62 Polish HF cows were selected and divided into two groups of 31 animals each at the experimental station of the Institute of Zoological Technology in Pawlowice, a department of the National Institute of Animal Production in Cracow. The basic daily feed for each cow was a TMR of 56.5 kg with maize silage, grass silage, whole-crop barley silage, beet pulp silage, hay, and feed concentrate. A further 4 kg of

concentrate per cow and day was ad-ministered through automatic feed dis-pensers; in the case of the treated group this also provided the daily dose of LodeStar CLAME-P10.

This trial showed once again that LodeStar CLAME-P10 increases the milk yield. The increase in quantity was +10.3 % (p<0.06) after one month and +7.8% (p<0.05, i.e. significant) after two months. In total this also resulted in a larger amount of milk fat. Moreover, the use of LodeStar CLAME-P10 did not affect the percentage of protein and lactose in the milk of the two groups, but the higher milk yield nevertheless resulted in a larger quantity of protein and lactose.

An analysis of the results published by the Institute of Zoological Technology in Paw-lowice makes the economic benefits obvi-ous; they are due to a higher milk yield and therefore a larger amount of fat and pro-tein (see Table 1). In the 100 days of early lactation the use of LodeStar CLAME-P10

increases the overall proceeds per cow and year by 79.- EUR. When the cost of 40.- EUR for LodeStar CLAME-P10 is deducted, the increase in the contribution margin is still a full 39.- EUR per cow and year! In this connection it should be added, concern-ing LodeStar CLAME-P10, that the additional positive effects of CLAs on the fertility and overall health status of high-performance cows described in the literature lead to fur-ther economic benefits.

Quality pays off: BergaFat F-100 is superior to Ca soapsThe use of BergaFat F-100 for dairy cows can be reduced to the following formula for success: less feed – better performance, lower costs – higher income

In the USA, Ca soaps established themselves in dairy farming decades ago. But whereas these soaps have scarcely developed since their introduction, other products for sup-plying energy to dairy cows, designed and improved on the basis of more recent tech-nologies, are now coming onto the market.

One of the most efficient of these sub-stances is BergaFat F-100, a pure fatty-acid product obtained by fractionation of palm fat. The fatty acids are split off specifically from the fat molecules and sprayed to form a dry, free-flowing fat powder. Because of the fractionation the fatty acids are natu-

rally stable in the rumen, which means that the fatty acids contained in BergaFat F-100 have no effect on the micro-organisms of the rumen.

Unlike these, the Ca soaps contain unsatu-rated fatty acids which are potentially dam-aging to the micro-organisms of the rumen. That is the reason for saponification with calcium as an attempt to at least reduce the harmful effect of the unsaturated fatty ac-ids. But Ca soaps cannot guarantee 100 per-cent protection nevertheless, because the unsaturated fatty acids are released again when the pH falls.

In order to prove the efficacy of the mod-ern, rumen-bypass product BergaFat F-100 as compared to Ca soaps, Berg + Schmidt carried out performance trials at Michigan University (F-100 vs. control) and Penn State University (F-100 vs. Ca soaps vs. control) with high-performance dairy cows of the US Holstein breed.

Delicate balance

The rumen flora of cattle, consisting mainly of bacteria, protozoa and

fungae, is a delicate balance. A pH between 6 and 7 is necessary in

order to maintain the micro-organisms and their function – especially

that of breaking down plant fibres in the rumen. If the pH shifts into

the acid or alkaline range it results in severe damage to the rumen

flora, with corresponding effects on rumen metabolism. In extreme

cases this can lead to death of the animal.

Trial at Michigan University: For compari-son with the zero control, 2% BergaFat F-100 (percentage of the dry feed weight) were added as a supplement. As a result of this supplementation the fat content of the milk increased from 3.88% to 4.18%. This rep-resents a highly significant increase in the quantity of milk fat from 1.23 kg to 1.33 kg per cow and day. Correspondingly the milk quantity, 3.5% FCM, also increased signifi-cantly by 1.7 kg per day (see Figure 1).

Trial at Penn State University: A comparison between the control, BergaFat F-100 and Ca soap revealed that following the addition of 2% BergaFat F-100 to the dry feed as against 2.4% Ca soap (2.4% Ca soap contains the same amount of fat as 2% BergaFat F-100) the production of FCM was higher with Ber-gaFat F-100 on each performance level than with Ca soap and in the control. This also shows that although the feed uptake of the BergaFat group was lower than in the con-trol group, BergaFat F-100 enables the cows to meet their energy requirements with a smaller feed uptake. The Ca soap group had a lower feed uptake too, but unlike the Ber-gaFat group it showed no improvement in performance.

The economic evaluation of the trial on the basis of prices at the time of the trial shows that the addition of BergaFat offers a defi-nite benefit, whereas the Ca soap did not exceed the performance of the control group and only resulted in extra cost (see Table 1).

In order to verify these results, a second trial was carried out with identical usage levels (2% BergaFat F-100 vs. 2.4% Ca soap). This

Moreover, the feed uptake recorded in the trial confirmed what has been observed time and again when Ca soaps are adminis-tered: the addition of Ca soaps reduces the feed uptake. In the trial it was reduced by 3%.

In order to meet the growing demand for bypass fats with a very high palmitin con-tent, Berg + Schmidt opened its plant for fatty-acid fractionation in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia, on 1 January 2012. In the following interview Andreas Reith, Managing Director of Berg + Schmidt, explains what is so spe-cial about the new plant.

What made you decide to build another plant in Malaysia?

Andreas Reith: The starting point was the continuously growing demand for our by-pass feed fat BergaFat F-100. More and more feed manufacturers worldwide are shifting from calcium soaps to fractionated vegetable fatty acids because a number of trials have shown them to be more effective. Secondly, our growth strategy in the past few years has paid off: Berg + Schmidt has opened up sev-eral new markets and acquired a lot of new customers.

... and so your previous capacities were no longer enough?

Andreas Reith: Exactly. Although our exist-ing fractionation plants with a capacity of 100,000 tonnes were very efficient, we were coming up against our limits. The new plant will increase our overall capacity by about 40%. That will equip us well for the future. And in the design of the new production plant we have taken the increasing de-mands of the feed industry into account. What are the special features of the new plant?

Andreas Reith: Numerous oleochemical plants have been built with the intention of carrying out fatty-acid fractionation, but as a rule the aim has been to supply indus-try with products for technical applications. We are the only people to have taken the special needs of animal nutrition into ac-count in the planning. For the production of rumen bypass fat powders rich in palmitic acid, like BergaFat F-100, this plant enables us to make use of a wide range of raw ma-terials such as palm oil or palm stearin. To make that possible, the splitting and frac-tionation equipment is designed for four specific fractionation stages. That gives us a great deal of flexibility. But the end product is always of the same quality, whatever the commodity used. That is a feature many of our customers welcome.

Meeting increasing demand

Berg + Schmidt enlarges its production capacity for rumen-bypass fats

11 | BestFeed 08/12 INTERVIEW

Do you only manufacture products for the feed industry on this plant?

Andreas Reith: That is our main field, but besides the main product – palmitic acid (C 16:0) – the fatty acids oleic acid (C 18:1) and stearic acid (C 18:0) are produced too, depending on the raw materials used. Both of these products are sold chiefly to the food industry and used in the manufacture of emulsifiers. The new plant is designed to comply with ISO 22000, GMP+ and the HACCP standard, and we can easily supply all our products with a kosher or halal certificate.

How is the plant managed?

Andreas Reith: The plant in Pasir Gudang is controlled by Berg + Schmidt Asia in Singapore. Our company on the spot – Berg + Schmidt Malaysia – also ensures smooth worldwide logistics along the sup-ply chain to our customers. Raw materials

management and quality assurance are car-ried out in close cooperation with the Head Office in Hamburg.

Will there be more plants of this kind?
