Our nutritional solutions

Improving feed efficiency for ruminants
For over 25 years, IDENA has been innovating and devising solutions in line with societal and environmental expectations. Our mission: to design the future of the livestock industry differently.
Our nutrition experts have developed a range of products designed to improve the feed efficiency of ruminants, in particular, by acting on 3 pillars essential to the proper functioning of the rumen: protein, energy and fibre.
Our solutions for ruminants are as follows:
VERTAN
Protein more efficiently!
VERTAN is patented combination of microencapsulated phytogenic ingredients. The effectiveness of VERTAN has been scientifically proven for almost 30 years, in terms of better use of the proteins in the ration.
It reduces the rate of protein breakdown in the rumen and increases the protein content of the ration. It thus confirms its use in increasing milk production, useful matter and, more generally, nitrogen metabolism.
VERTAN has a specific formulation matrix which reduces the cost of formulas and rations while maintaining performances. VERTAN is an effective alternative to the use of soya in ruminant feed.
Used worldwide with INRAE, AMTS and NDS matrices.

VALKALOR
Energy more efficiently!
VALKALOR is a combination of bioactives from IDENA research, selected with the aim of optimising and securing the digestion of carbohydrates in the rumen.
VALKALOR reduces lactic acid in the rumen and the risk of acidosis associated with rations rich in fermentable carbohydrates. It improves the overall digestibility of organic matter (more volatile fatty acids – VFA) and the energy yield of the ration. VALKALOR has a positive effect on milk yield, reproduction, meat production, etc.
Recent trials have also demonstrated the effectiveness of VALKALOR in low-protein rations. This is because the increase in blood sugar levels associated with optimal carbohydrate digestion preserves some of the amino acids from gluconeogenesis. VALKALOR is therefore an interesting tool for reducing protein intake in ruminant rations.
In formulation, VALKALOR helps to reduce the cost of formulas, in particular, by diversifying energy sources.

MAXIVAL
Get the most out of your feed!
MAXIVAL has been developed to improve the digestibility of fibre and make better use of all the nutrients contained in feeds.
MAXIVAL is a combination of bioactive ingredients that encourage the activity of cellulolytic bacteria by making fibre more accessible. It increases the energy and protein yields of rations.
MAXIVAL is a substitute for non-protein sources of nitrogen, such as urea, in food.
MAXIVAL favours milk and meat production.

VIANDI
More natural performances!
VIANDI has been used for over 20 years as a growth developer in starch-rich rations for fattening ruminants (grazers, young cattle, beef cows, cattle and sheep feedlots, etc.). It is composed of plant extracts and essential oils selected for their effects on ruminal and intestinal flora.
VIANDI improves digestive comfort in animals by helping to prevent metabolic disorders, facilitating feed transitions and promoting more regular feed intake. By optimising the energy yield of high-starch rations, VIANDI enables better zootechnical performances (Average Daily Gain & Consumption Index) and better meat quality.

GASOLESS
Fuel for a more efficient rumen!
GASOLESS is a product based on specific bioactives and seaweed, formulated to formulated to lower enteric methane.
GASOLESS improves feed efficiency and zootechnical performance by reducing energy waste linked to methane production. What’s more, reducing the hydrogenation potential of fatty acids in the ration improves the fatty acid profile of milk and meat.

FORCIX PROGRAM
For starting young ruminants!
The FORCIX PROGRAM combines 3 nutritional products with different galenic formulas: FORCIX SA, FORCIX MILK and FORCIX FEED, which accompany the animal from birth and during its first months of life.
It was an ambitious research project carried out by IDENA in partnership with public institutions that helped to set it up. By helping to maintain intestinal integrity and supporting the creation of immunity, the FORCIX PROGRAM optimises nutrient absorption and supports good growth performance.
Suitable
for calves, lambs and kids.

AERORUM
So that your pets don’t run out of air!
AERORUM combines botanical extracts with expectorant properties to help ruminants breathe more easily.
AERORUM can be used during key periods when animals are particularly sensitive in terms of their lungs: start-up, weaning, allotment and feed transition stages, the beginning of the winter season or going out to the grass, etc. By supporting ruminants during these high-risk periods, AERORUM helps them to achieve better growth performance.
Easy to use, AERORUM is incorporated directly into the feed.

TRANSVITEL
The solution for a boost!
TRANSVITEL is a combination of plant extracts selected for their complementary and synergistic antioxidant properties. TRANSVITEL supports ruminants during periods of oxidative stress (feed transition, putting into batches, change of building, changes in weather, preparing to give birth, etc.).

WORMLESS
Don’t let performance be parasitised!
WORMLESS is an original combination of plant extracts and spices to help ruminants during periods when there is a risk of grass parasitism.
WORMLESS can be incorporated directly into feed or distributed in the form of a bolus. It can also be administered periodically or continuously, making it easy to use.
