Compounds of Microencapsulated Essential Oils
Microencapsulated essential oils derived from carvacrol, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, and capsicum extract, combined with hydrogenated vegetable fat for controlled release. Designed for inclusion in poultry diets, it provides a consistent and uniform source of essential oil compounds through advanced encapsulation technology.
Carvacrol (from Thyme Oil)
Carvacrol is a naturally occurring compound found in thyme oil. It helps maintain feed freshness and support a healthy gut environment. In poultry diets, microencapsulated carvacrol delivers a more consistent, controlled release in the digestive tract. It is inclusion supports a science led formulation focused on quality, consistency, and reliable performance.
Eugenol (from Clove Oil)
Eugenol is a naturally occurring compound found in clove oil, valued for its aromatic and preservative qualities. In animal nutrition, it is recognised for its ability to maintain feed freshness and stability. When microencapsulated, eugenol is protected from degradation during processing, ensuring consistent inclusion throughout the feed. Formulated with guidance from animal nutritionists, it contributes to the careful balance of essential oil compounds used in advanced poultry feed formulations.
Cinnamaldehyde (from Cinnamon Oil)
Cinnamaldehyde is the primary active component of cinnamon oil, widely studied for its aromatic and functional properties in feed applications. Its inclusion supports feed palatability and formulation integrity through controlled release technology. Used in precise amounts within microencapsulated blends, cinnamaldehyde provides a stable and uniform distribution of essential oil compounds. Developed with input from animal nutritionists, it forms part of the science-based approach behind balanced and consistent poultry feed formulations.
Capsicum Extract
Capsicum extract is derived from chilli fruit and contains naturally occurring compounds such as capsaicinoids. It is used for its functional properties and contribution to feed uniformity. Through microencapsulation, capsicum extract is stabilised to ensure controlled release and protection from heat during processing. Its inclusion reflects a scientific approach to formulating consistent, high quality poultry feeds guided by animal nutrition expertise, contributing to balanced ingredient profiles within advanced essential oil blends.
Chilli Powder
Chilli powder is a natural ingredient derived from dried and ground chilli peppers. It contains capsaicinoids, which contribute to its characteristic colour and aroma. It is used in small, controlled amounts for its natural flavouring and colouring properties. Chilli powder complements other functional ingredients within balanced feed formulations designed for consistency and quality.
Fenugreek Powder
Fenugreek powder is a natural ingredient derived from the ground seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum. It contains plant-derived compounds and fibre components that contribute to feed texture and nutritional balance. When used in poultry formulations, fenugreek is included for its natural composition and aroma, complementing other carefully selected ingredients. Each inclusion is guided by animal nutritionist expertise to ensure consistency and quality within complete feed formulations.
Soybean Meal
Soybean meal is a high-quality plant-based ingredient derived from dehulled and ground soybeans. It is naturally rich in protein and amino acids, making it a widely used carrier and nutritional component in feed formulations. In poultry diets, it provides bulk and uniformity, helping to balance concentrated ingredients and ensure even mixing. Its inclusion supports formulation safety, consistency, and ease of feeding within nutritionally guided blends.
Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring siliceous material formed from fossilised algae. It has a fine, powder-like texture and is commonly used as a flow agent or carrier in feed formulations. In poultry diets, it assists with ingredient uniformity and handling, helping to create a consistent blend. Carefully selected for its purity and stability, diatomaceous earth contributes to the physical balance of the final mix without affecting nutritional formulation.
Poultry Safe Probiotic
Levucell® SB is a live yeast probiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii) developed for use in animal nutrition. It is selected for its proven stability during feed processing and inclusion consistency. Used in poultry formulations under animal nutritionist guidance, Levucell® SB reflects a science-based approach to supporting balanced and high-quality feed blends.

I noticed my chooks were having watery droppings so added this to their diet and within 2 days everyone in the coop had healthy droppings again. This is an awesome and super easy way to ensure good gut health in my girls. Would definitely recommend to all chook owners.

A healthy topper
I add the Healthy Hen Gut-Guard over their serving of Veggie Mash, to add to their well being and general health. They run to me at mash time and don't stop eating until it is gone. I've noticed an improvement in their poops and comb colour since using it.
