Protecting phytogenics by microencapsulation

Plant extracts and essential oils have positive effects on animal health, but are often difficult to process in the animal feed. Biomin has developed an encapsulation process which overcomes these handling problems and which also gives better performance of the phytogenics in the animal. Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been used to treat humans and livestock. The preparations made from plants were either from raw materials (leaves, roots or branches) or processed (cooked or boiled).
