Product Introduction
Why CoCrystEO™?
Under stressed storage conditions (40°C, 75% relative humidity), CoCrystEO™ maintained more than 97% assay retention over three months, while a benchmark encapsulated essential oil declined to approximately 75%, indicating improved stability of active compounds under real-world logistics and storage conditions.
Mode of Action
Key Benefits
- Improved essential oil stability during feed processing and storage
- Higher melting point and reduced volatility support use in pelleting/expanding and reduce loss during handling, with demonstrated retention under stressed storage compared with an encapsulation benchmark.
- Faster dispersion and more uniform delivery in feed and water systems
Rapid dissolution at practical inclusion and reduced unpleasant odor are positioned to allow more flexible application while minimizing common essential oil handling constraints. Demonstrated effects on gut structure in broilers and enhanced fermentation output and intestinal integrity in weaned piglets, with associated changes in growth-related parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many essential oils show promising activity on paper but lose effectiveness during feed processing, storage, or uneven mixing. CoCrystEO™ is designed to reduce these losses by improving stability, dispersion, and consistency of essential oil delivery from production to the gut.
CoCrystEO™ is positioned as a gut-focused nutritional solution. In animal studies, its effects were reflected not only in growth performance but also in intestinal structure and fermentation markers, which are closely linked to nutrient utilization and resilience under stress.
CoCrystEO™ has been evaluated in weaned piglets under low-zinc, antibiotic-free conditions. Improvements in intestinal structure and fermentation markers support its use as part of a broader nutritional strategy aimed at maintaining gut health when pharmacological zinc oxide or antibiotics are reduced.
Compared with conventional essential oils, the crystal structure reduces volatility and odor intensity, which may help minimize palatability issues commonly associated with essential oil inclusion.
