From January 31 to February 1, the 2024 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) for poultry, feed and meat was held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Hongda Group was invited to exhibit, presenting animal-nutrition ingredients and solutions. It was the Group’s first participation in this annual event since entering fermented products.
Founded in 1949, IPPE is a global professional exhibition for feed and poultry. It covers technology, equipment, raw-material supply and related industries in poultry and egg production and processing, and is one of the most influential events in the sector.
Hongda highlighted a new range of products: isoleucine produced through fermentation with a content above 98.5%, feed-grade vitamin B2 at 80%, and feed-grade vitamin B12 at 1%.
Isoleucine benefits
1. As an essential amino acid, isoleucine supports animal growth, development and reproduction.
2. It improves meat quality and increases milk production in mammals and egg production in poultry.
3. It enables low-protein diets and optimizes feed formulation.
4. It lowers dietary crude protein, improving feed utilization and absorption while reducing nitrogen emissions in manure and urine. Each 1% reduction in crude protein can reduce nitrogen emissions by 8–10%.
5. Adding isoleucine reduces soybean meal, the most expensive plant-protein source in feed, lowering feed costs.
6. It strengthens animal immunity.
Feed-grade vitamin B2 80% benefits
1. Poultry: adequate vitamin B2 promotes growth, improves hatchability and egg production, and prevents curled-toe paralysis.
2. Livestock: it helps prevent bent and rigid legs, stiff gait, skin rashes, exudate on the back and sides, lens clouding and cataracts in pigs.
3. Ruminants: it helps prevent oral-mucosa congestion, lesions at the corners of the mouth or lips, drooling, loss of appetite, diarrhea and growth disorders.
Feed-grade vitamin B12 1% benefits
1. Helps prevent anemia and fatty liver.
2. Saves animal protein and promotes protein synthesis, improving feed utilization.
3. Helps prevent digestive disorders and increases feed intake.
4. Promotes folate absorption and utilization, preventing effects caused by folate deficiency.
From raw-material input to finished product, Hongda’s production process covers strain cultivation, precise fermentation control, and efficient extraction and purification. These capabilities support the Group’s leading position in industrial-strain innovation, intelligent fermentation control and high-efficiency extraction, laying a solid foundation for high-quality functional animal-nutrition ingredients.
Hongda always places technological innovation at the center of development and continues to advance animal nutrition. We were pleased to present our products and services to customers and look forward to meeting you, discussing industry trends and creating the future of animal nutrition together.
