TECHNOLOGY
A closer look at
feed fat nutrition.
Explore palm-derived ingredients, their role in animal nutrition and the differences between our feed fat products.
01 / INGREDIENTS
Palm-derived.
Purposefully formulated.
DrKanter Feed’s animal nutrition range includes prilled palm fat and calcium salts of palm fatty acids. These ingredients provide concentrated fat sources for feed formulations.
DKT MGFAT 705 is derived from the physical fractionation of refined palm oil. DKT PA FAT combines palm-derived fatty acids with calcium to produce a rumen-inert feed fat.
