Announcement from Evonik
In keeping with the tradition of supplying the market with innovative products and solutions to benefit its customers, Evonik will launch a new generation of Biolys®, a proven source of lysine for livestock feeds, on June 1.
The new Biolys® formulation contains 62.4 percent L-lysine (an 80 percent ratio to Lysine HCl) compared to the current version’s 60 percent L-lysine (a 77 percent ratio to Lysine HCl). The product also contains valuable components resulting from its fermentation process — additional nutrients and energy that further benefit livestock such as swine or poultry.
