Patent Pending Technology
THE SCIENCE OF BETTER DELIVERY
Our proprietary nano-encapsulation technology (patent pending) unlocks the true potential of livestock-proven compounds.
THE CHALLENGE
WHY MOST HIGH POTENTIAL INGREDIENTS UNDERPERFORM
Essential oils, lipidic plant extracts and fatty acid glycerides have demonstrated powerful benefits for animal health and performance. The challenge has never been the ingredients — it's getting them where they need to go.
Conventional products face fundamental delivery problems. Oil-based compounds don't mix with water, making them impractical for drinking water systems. During feed processing, heat and pressure may degrade certain active ingredients before they ever reach the animal. And even when compounds survive processing, large particle sizes limit the bio-availability in the gut.
OUR SOLUTION
A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH
Our proprietary nano-encapsulation technology transforms oil-soluble active compounds into ultra-fine particles — small enough that billions fit on the tip of a ballpoint pen.
Each nano-particle features a protective architecture: a lipophilic core that holds the active compounds, surrounded by a hydrophilic outer layer that enables perfect dispersion in water. This structure protects ingredients from degradation while ensuring they reach the animal intact and with highest bioavailability.
BENEFITS
WHAT NANO-ENCAPSULATION DELIVERS
Superior Bioavailability
Nano-scale particles dramatically increase surface area, enabling more availability in the gastro-intestinal tract. Active compounds offer maximum benefit instead of passing through unused.
Complete Water Solubility
Our nano-emulsions disperse perfectly in water — no separation, no sedimentation, no clogged drinking water lines. This enables flexible application through both water and feed systems.
Processing Stability
The protective nano-capsule shields active compounds from oxygen and prevents evaporation of volatiles. Ingredients are more resistant to feed pelleting and maintain stability through storage.
Controlled Release
Our technology enables targeted delivery in the digestive tract, where active compounds can have the greatest impact on gut health and performance.
Application Flexibility
The same technology platform adapts across species and production systems, delivered through water, milk replacer or (liquid) feed to match your operation's needs.
IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
FROM RESEARCH TO PRODUCTION — ALL UNDER ONE ROOF
AHC is not a distributor. We developed our nano-encapsulation technology through over a decade of dedicated research, and we manufacture all our nano-encapsulated feed additives at our own facility in the Netherlands.
This integrated approach gives us complete control over quality and consistency. It also means we can continuously innovate based on real-world feedback from farms around the globe.
Our development philosophy is rooted in practical problem-solving. Every product we create originates from challenges observed on farms — not from theoretical formulations designed in isolation.
