Cristalfeed
Functional flavors for secure feed consumption
Cristalfeed is a range of functional flavourings that attract animals to feed, rewarding them positively by activating the pleasure centre in the brain. Formulated to enhance appetite, they are the key to encouraging voluntary feed intake.
Why use Cristalfeed ?
Cristalfeed flavourings are useful for helping livestock (ruminants – swine) overcome dietary challenges such as feed transitions, changes in raw materials or new feed.
Specially adapted to the needs of the animal, the Cristalfeed range is available in a wide variety of flavour profiles (milk-cream, vanilla, red fruits, fenugreek, etc.).
Find out the role flavourings play in animal feed.
In livestock farming, poorly consumed feed represents inefficient expenditure for farmers. Ensuring good feed intake is therefore a major challenge, making flavourings truly valuable resources.
Regardless of age, animals face various challenges directly related to feed, to which they respond by reducing their intake :
- Change in smell and taste of feed (raw material variations)
- New feed, new formulation
All of these challenges lead to decreases in feed intake, with a negative impact on performance in the long term. The Cristalfeed range has been developed to ensure the voluntary intake of feed by animals, while also offering a galenic formulation adapted to the constraints of feed manufacturing.

Cristalfeed : essential functional flavourings
The Cristalfeed range contains attractant and palatable cores, formulated from the results of Phodé research. Adapted to each species, they help satisfy a variety of different preferences. The majority of Cristalfeed products are designed for multiple species and consequently provide flexibility of use.
Cristalfeed also offers you the option of customising your olfactory signature.
