Apical’s Animal Nutrition Product Portfolio

Our animal nutrition portfolio includes a range of palm-based feed fats and functional ingredients, each developed for specific species and formulation needs.

Palmitic Series

The Palmitic Series includes protected fats developed for ruminants and their unique digestive systems. Produced through the fractionation of palm-based oleochemicals, these products provide a concentrated energy source suitable for use in dairy and beef rations.

In a 2025 controlled study by the SEAFAST Center–IPB in Indonesia, palmitic fats from Apical were tested as part of a feed formulation under trial conditions. The results showed an association with higher daily milk yield and milk fat content.

Product range:

  • PF-80
  • PF-85
  • PF-95
  • PF-99

Triglyceride Series

Concentrated energy for multi-species feed formulations

Triglycerides are used in animal feed as a stable and efficient source of dietary energy. Apical’s Triglyceride Series is suitable for use across multiple species, including swine, poultry, ruminants, and aquaculture, where consistent energy input supports growth and production.

Produced from fully refined, non-hydrogenated palm oil, these products contain no trans-fatty acids and are developed for applications where consistent feed performance and formulation reliability are required.

Product range:

  • BP-100
  • BP-300

Calcium Salt Series

Insoluble fats for controlled energy delivery

The Calcium Salt Series provides insoluble fat ingredients that can be incorporated into ruminant diets without interfering with rumen function. These products are commonly used in dairy systems to support energy intake during high-demand periods such as lactation.

For non-ruminant species, calcium salts can also contribute to dietary energy supply, supporting growth and productivity when used as part of a balanced formulation.

Product range:

  • CS-85
Fiber Series

Functional fiber and energy from palm by-products

The Fiber Series includes Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE), a by-product of palm kernel oil extraction widely used in ruminant feed. PKE provides both energy and protein and is commonly included in dairy and beef rations, particularly where pasture availability is limited.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), PKE can support digestibility when used appropriately, making it a practical ingredient in ruminant feeding systems while contributing to more resource-efficient use of agricultural by-products.

Lecithin Range

Improved fat dispersion and pellet quality

Produced through Apical’s joint venture, A.G. Lipids, the Lecithin Series includes feed-grade lecithinated fats used to improve fat dispersion in feed formulations. Lecithin helps fats mix more evenly, supporting more consistent energy utilization by animals.

These products are also used to improve pellet quality, contributing to better texture and handling during feed processing.

Product range:

  • TG–MGL8
  • TG–BP102
  • TG–BPPC
Oleochemical Range

Formulation flexibility through palm-derived ingredients

The Oleochemical Series includes palm-derived fatty acids, refined glycerin, and medium-chain components used in animal feed formulations. These ingredients provide nutritionists with additional flexibility when adjusting diets to meet specific energy, palatability, or functional requirements.

Fatty acids serve as concentrated energy sources, while refined glycerin contributes mild sweetness that can help support feed intake. Medium-chain triglycerides and fatty acids are used in selected applications across different species.

Product range:

  • Lauric Acid
  • Myristic Acid
  • Stearic Acid
  • Refined Glycerin
  • Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT)
    • >MCT-60
    • MCT-70
  • Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs)
    • Caprylic Acid C8
    • Capric Acid C10
    • Caprylic Acid – Capric Acid C810
