AMMIX PLUS™ — clear the air.

Quillaja + Yucca saponins — lower emissions, stronger performance.

An organic feed supplement derived from Quillaja saponaria and Yucca schidigera. A balanced blend of triterpenic and steroidal saponins that reduces gas emissions — NH₃, CO₂ and CH₄ — while enhancing growth performance, digestibility and meat quality across swine, poultry and ruminants.

What It Is — and how it works.

A unique blend of triterpenic and steroidal saponins from Quillaja saponaria and Yucca schidigera, balanced with tannins and polyphenols through a specialised production method. A dual-saponin mechanism cuts emissions and lifts performance at the same time.

Growth performance

Enhanced average daily gain and feed efficiency — saponins improve nutrient utilization across the diet.

Gas reduction

Lowers NH₃, CO₂ and CH₄ by suppressing ammonia-producing bacteria, inhibiting urease, and binding odoriferous compounds.

Digestibility

Improved nutrient digestibility supports the performance lift and reduces the nitrogen load that drives ammonia.

Meat quality

Enhanced carcass characteristics and meat quality, demonstrated in finishing-pig trials.

Dual saponin mechanism. Triterpenic + steroidal saponins → inhibit ammonia-producing bacteria, suppress urease and bind odor compounds → reduce emissions while improving nutrient digestibility and performance. Validated by reputable research centers through in-vivo trials, with a fully sustainable supply chain (NH₃ B50 value < 4).

Trial data — validated in vivo, multi-species.

AMMIX PLUS™ has been evaluated in independent university and field trials across swine, poultry and ruminants — all at an inclusion of 100 g/MT versus a basal-diet control.

NH₃ onsetDecreases from day 5
RuminantGas down, digestibility held
Inclusion100 g/MTvs basal control

Swine

Dankook University, S. Korea · Jun 2023
  • Trial 1 (growing pigs): enhanced performance vs non-supplemented; significant gas-emission reduction; improved digestibility
  • Trial 2 (finishing pigs): improved growth, nutrient digestibility and meat quality; higher ADG and feed efficiency
  • Consistent with Dang & Kim (2020) on saponins in swine nutrition

Poultry

Southern Poultry (US) · Santiago (Chile)
  • −20% NH₃ in free-range laying systems (Chile, Sep 2022)
  • NH₃ levels begin to decrease from day 5; peak levels reduced throughout the day
  • Enhanced performance vs non-supplemented (US, Jun 2023) — lower respiratory-disease susceptibility

Ruminants

University of Concepción, Chile · Jun 2023
  • Semi-continuous in-vitro rumen simulation (4 fermenters per batch)
  • Reduced primary gas emissions (CO₂, CH₄, NH₃) without altering digestibility
  • VFA, gas and NH₃ production measured across incubation
