THE CULTURE OF FERMENTATION
- STARTER CULTURES -
DF MaxPro
DF MaxPro is especially to ferment protein-rich feedstuffs: soybean meal, peas, beans, rapeseed meal/cake, sunflower meal/cake, guar meal, and lupines. Microbial fermentation of protein-rich raw materials has huge potential. It degrades both heat-labile ANF's as well as heat-stable ANF's (phytate, stachyose, raffinose, sucrose, allergens). In stead of toasting/extruding. Advantages: lower investment & production costs, independent of big multi-nationals (crushers), more constant and better quality end-product. Moreover, a lot of lactic acid is produced, resulting in lower pH and low acid-binding-capacity, which supports higher protein digestibility.
DF Basic
DF Basic is our starter culture for liquid fermentations based on cereals. These are "basic" fermentations with a relative low-risk.
DF Solid
Microbial fermentation can be done as "liquid" (our products DF Basic or DF MaxPro) but also as "Solid-State Fermentation" (SSF). SSF is done at a moisture content of 35-40% to allow special lactic acid bacteria to grow quickly. For the application we developped a special starter culture, called DF Solid. It is used for silage of corn cob mix (CCM) or maize for biogas production.
DF PigCare
DF PigCare is especially for small quantities of ferment (100 - 200 kg) that is produced in so-called mini-fermenters. This ferment is used around and during farrowing phase. This concept is explained in "PigCare" submenu.
