CRINA® – delivering essential digestive performance

Our specific digestive solutions have been developed using specially-created blends of essential oil components.

Digestive efficiency has an immense impact on the performance and profitably of farmed animals. Animals that use feed more efficiently:

  • Grow faster
  • Produce more
  • Have lower feed costs
  • Are more profitable

Rising feed costs mean that the challenge of achieving more efficient digestion is even more important than before.

CRINA® contains essential oil components proven in trials to improve feed digestion and provide great benefits.

Essential oil components have shown to work on two fronts. Firstly, they improve the balance of gut microflora, increasing the proportion of beneficial bacteria and reducing the amounts of pathogenic and undesirable bacteria in the animal’s system.

Secondly, they have shown to stimulate the animal to produce more digestive enzymes. This improves the effectiveness of feed breakdown in the gut.

Of courses, different species require different essential oil components.

All flavoring components in CRINA® products are approved for feed and food, and appear on the Register of Feed Additives (Reg 1831/2003) of the European Union and the FEMA (Flavor and Extracts Manufacturers Association) and/or GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) listings.

Increasing gut performance in poultry is something we are passionate about. We know that it makes a real difference to profits for our customers.

We are constantly searching for new and better ways to produce more efficient birds. With CRINA® Poultry Plus this is exactly what we were aiming for.

By combining two already-proven we created a product that has shown to provide significant improvements. Its two main ingredients complement each other to deliver consistent performance.

CRINA® Poultry is a flavoring additive comprising a specific blend of essential oil components including thymol, eugenol and piperine. These ingredients stimulate the production of digestive enzymes and improve the balance of gut microflor

Benzoic acid is the most effective organic acid for inclusion in poultry diets. It has shown a strong anti-microbial effect, particularly againstE.coli and campylobacter.

The result is greater and more consistent digestive efficiency.

CRINA® Poultry Plus helps producers maintain performance in the post-antibiotic era.

CRINA® Digest

The new cost-effective essential oils solution to step-up poultry digestion

  • A unique and complementary combination of three essential oil compounds: thymol, eugenol and piperine
  • Microencapsulation technology ensuring controlled release of bioactives along the gastrointestinal tract
  • A solution to step-up digestion in all poultry species

Intestinal Controlled Release

The microencapsulation technology of Crina® Digest ensures gradual diffusion of the essential oil actives along the gastrointestinal tract for a better digestion.

Optimum Nutrient Digestibility

Crina® Digest improves digestive functions with piperine, which interacts with cell wall receptors in the pancreas and stimulates increased secretions of key digestive enzymes including lipase, amylase and trypsin. Thus, the intestinal absorption of nutrients is enhanced.

Modulation of the gut microbiota

Thymol and Eugenol contribute to a balanced intestinal microbiota through their recognized properties of moderating the development of specific classes of bacteria (eg: Clostridium perfringens).

Meta-analysis of 6 broiler trials run in Europe in 2018 (p<0.05)

  • Better feed conversion ratio: -1.4%
  • Return on investment: 4€ increased profit for 1€ invested
