Animal farming is under constant pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, improve efficiency and increase profitability. Antibiotic growth promotors (AGPs) are being phased out worldwide, starting a quest for sustainable alternatives. As feed costs rise, the feed should be consumed and digested as efficiently as possible.
Oleon offers a range of short and medium monoglycerides with antimicrobial properties. These molecules have the ability to be a more sustainable alternative to AGPs.
We also offer different digestive aids focused on improving fat digestion. Especially in young animals, fat digestion is often lacking. Furthermore, we produce Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT), an excellent and easily digestible energy source for young and digestion impaired animals.

Gut Health
Healthy gut function is the cornerstone of efficient animal farming and overall herd performance. Oleon’s gut health solutions are based on our oleochemical expertise, which allows us to manufacture a broad range of glycerides from short- and medium-chain fatty acids. These glycerides have unique capabilities, such as strong antimicrobial properties, supporting gut development and immune support.
By improving gut integrity, they enhance nutrient absorption and feed efficiency, leading to better growth rates and reduced mortality. Structural improvements translates into healthier animals with optimized digestion. Fully sourced from renewable materials, these blends align with sustainability goals while delivering high performance. With Oleon’s gut health additives, farmers can reduce reliance on antibiotics and improve animal welfare without compromising productivity.
Digestion
Efficient digestion is essential for maximizing feed conversion and animal growth. Fat, the most energy-dense nutrient, often poses challenges for young animals due to limited lipase and bile salt levels. Oleon addresses this with advanced emulsifiers that improve fat emulsification and enzyme interaction in the gut. Our emulsifiers optimize the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats, resulting in better nutrient utilization, reduced digestive stress, and improved overall health.
These solutions not only support growth performance but also help reduce feed costs by improving energy extraction from existing diets. With Oleon’s digestion aids, producers can ensure consistent animal performance across life stages.
Energy
Energy supply is critical for growth, reproduction, and resilience under stress. Oleon offers Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) as a superior energy source for young or digestion-impaired animals. Unlike long-chain triglycerides, MCTs are rapidly hydrolyzed and absorbed without complex micelle formation, providing immediate energy. Once absorbed, they are quickly metabolized into ketones, supporting vital organs and muscles while improving insulin sensitivity. This fast energy delivery reduces fat storage and enhances metabolic efficiency.
Our Radiamuls MCT range, based on C8 and C10 fatty acids, is odorless, colorless, and oxidation-stable, making it easy to incorporate into feed. By ensuring quick and efficient energy uptake, Oleon helps animals maintain performance during critical growth phases or stressful conditions.
Pelleting Aids
Pelleting improves feed handling, storage, and nutrient availability, but achieving durable, high-quality pellets requires specialized solutions. Oleon’s pelleting aids optimize the physical and nutritional integrity of feed pellets. Our emulsifiers and binders enhance fat distribution, reduce fines, and improve pellet durability index (PDI). This leads to better starch gelatinization, improved palatability, and reduced energy consumption during production.
Additionally, these aids prevent oil leakage and improve wetting characteristics, ensuring consistent pellet quality. By combining process efficiency with animal performance benefits, Oleon’s pelleting solutions help producers achieve sustainable, cost-effective feed manufacturing.
