Introducing Carotino

Animal Feed (CAF100)Healthy, sustainable nourishment for animals

Introduction

• Carotino Animal Feed is produced by the Carotino Group, a vertically

integrated company which owns and manages thousands acres of

RSPO certified, environmentally sustainable oil palm plantations, plus oil

mills and a dedicated refinery in Malaysia.

• Fat is the most economical source of energy concentrate for animal feed

and Carotino Animal Feed (CAF100) has a high proportion of palmitic

acid with 99.5% fat content.

• CAF100 is a specially formulated high energy feed fat that offers a

significant source of natural nutrients (carotenes, tocotrienols and

tocopherols) for the same cost effective price as a basic, no frills, low

nutrition feed.

• Carotino has full GMP+ Food Safety Assurance for the

production of feed materials, feed ingredients and fat granules.

and calves

• Improves milk production in cows

• Produces better quality milk to feed baby animals

• Can be added to pet foods to enhance nutrition for dogs, cats and

rabbits etc.

Specifications

• Minimum 99.5% fat

(Pro-Vitamin A), tocotrienols &

tocopherols (Vitamin E)

• Provides a solubilising medium for

nutrients

• Increases the absorption of fat

soluble vitamins

• Helps increase the absorption of

calcium

International Accreditations

• Like most Carotino products,

CAF100 comes from RSPO

certified plantations.

• It is produced in factories which

meet the highest international

standards of production.

• CAF100 has full GMP+ Food

Safety Assurance for the

production of feed materials, feed

ingredients and fat granules.

Case Study – Adding CAF to Chicken Feed

• Fortifying the diet of chickens with carotenoids supplements has been shown to increase

the presence of this nutrient in egg yolks. However, because of the relative expense, it

has not been seen as a commercially viable option.

• Prof. ASJ Benade of Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa, oversaw a

16-week study to measure the effects of adding CAF100 to chicken feed in terms of the

increase in the carotene and Vitamin E content of eggs.

• 900 chickens of the same age were used in the experiment and the layers were divided

into three groups of 300. The first group ate standard chicken feed, the second group ate

feed with 1% added CAF100 and the third group ate feed with 2% added CAF100.

• The carotenoid, tocotrienol and tocopherol

content of the eggs was measured at the end

of each phase of the experiment. (After 12

weeks in Phase 1 and 4 weeks in Phase 2)

• The results showed that when 2% CAF100 is

added to standard chicken feed, the carotenoid

content of eggs was boosted by 14-18%.

Case Study – Fattening Pigs in Lithuania

• A study was carried out by a

company called Kaisiadoriu

Agrofirma in Lithuania to

determine the efficiency of

CAF 100 for fattening pigs.

• During the 2.5 month

experiment, three parallel

groups were made up and

given different food to eat.

Two groups had their diets

supplemented with CAF100.

(See upper table.)

• The results showed that pigs

fed with CAF100 showed

significant weight gain. (See

lower table.)

Case Study - Malaysian Zoo Trial

Animal Adventures, a company which trains and shows

animals at Malaysian zoos, took part in a 4 month

‘fattening’ trial using CAF100.

• All the birds in the trial were full grown adult specimens

– cockatoos, macaws and flamingos.

• CAF100 was added to their feed once a day.

• The level accounted for 4% of each bird’s body weight

- just a pinch for some of the smaller specimens.

• At the end of the trial, the goal of fattening the birds was

achieved and almost all were found to have fuller

bodies and gained significant weight.

Commitment to Sustainability

• Carotino Animal Feed is produced using red palm fruit oil

from RSPO certified, environmentally sustainable

plantations which uphold the highest international

production standards.

• Carotino is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable

Palm Oil and has the ability to produce palm oil products

which are either RSPO Mass Balance, RSPO Certified,

RSPO Segregated and even RSPO Identity Preserved,

depending on customer requirements.
