Acidbuf
Acid Buf is derived from calcified marine algae, with bioavailable Calcium and Magnesium and other minerals.
Acid Buf has a unique honeycomb structure which greatly increases its surface area. Soluble calcium & magnesium are released as a consequence. Although Acid Buf & Limestone are both calcium carbonate they function very differently due to their differing physical structures. Limestone needs a more acidic environment in which to solubilize, whereas 100% of Acid Buf is solubilized in the rumen.
Acid Buf helps to better control rumen ph and improve rumen efficiency by reducing the amplitude of the changes in pH, between higher & lower pH levels. By narrowing this band of ruminal pH, Acid Buf creates a healthier environment for the rumen microbes for more of the time. This helps to create a “sweet spot” within the rumen which increases feed conversion efficiency.
Benefits
• Non hygroscopic -free flowing
• A healthier rumen environment – more time at higher/ideal rumen pH level, improves VFA production, increases fibre digestion Increases rumen efficiency & feed utilization • Assists with heat stressed cattle who are under burden of loss of buffering capacity
• Highly bioavailable rumen soluble Ca & Mg (Ca 100%, Mg 98.7% in 8 hours) & 72 other minerals
• Helps control acidosis/SARA & reduce metabolic disorders (eg milk fever)
• Saves space in the ration or premix
• Derived from natural & sustainable source – harvested from clean waters off the coast of Ireland & Iceland
• Reduces methane output
• Dairy - Improved milk production & milk components
• DCAD neutral allowing inclusion in dry cow diets (conventional buffers cant be fed due to +ve DCAD)
• Beef – Increases weight gain & reduces cost of meat production per kg of DMI fed improves behavior and meat quality
• Compliant with EU regulations and produced in GMP+ certified facilities. FEMAS, Organic Trust Certifications -
Diatesorb
DiateSorb consists of diatomite or diatomaceous earth which is a natural powdery mineral compound formed from the fossilized skeletal remains of microscopic single celled aquatic plants called diatoms. These diatoms which built shells through mineralization formed fresh water marine sediments which are now utilized globally for an extensive range of uses.
The product has very high porosity and hence is a very good absorbent of water/moisture.
Benefits
- Absorbs high degree pf moisture by weight
- Natural chemical free
- Light weight and easy to use
- May be compatible with organic programs
- Use in livestock and manure improves value as a fertilizer -
Diateguard
DiateGuard consists of diatomite in fine powder form suitable for natural insect control.
Benefits
- Natural chemical free anticaking and insect control agent
- The insect and fly control process is purely mechanical not chemical hence avoids resistance
- No withholding period
- May be compatible with organic programs
- Preserves nutrient value of raw material by avoiding insect damage -
Celtical for poultry
CeltiCal is a mineral supplement derived from marine mineral algae. This nutritional solution provides bioavailable calcium and 74 trace minerals. Hence, CeltiCal maintains a healthy digestive function to improve feed utilization, feed conversion ratio, meat quality parameters and bone mineralisation. Research specific for CeltiCal confirms the positive effects to increase broiler performance index for a more profitable and sustainable animal livestock production.
50 peer reviewed scientific publications specific for this product base confirms the value of our marine minerals for excellent poultry nutrition. Such as the publications by Journal of Poultry Science. Every nutritionist, broiler producer and integrator can benefit with CeltiCal for improving the broiler index and production efficiency in a sustainable, responsible and profitable way.
Celtical:
- Improves Performance Efficiency Factor by 5.6%
- Allows 20% reduction in Ca in the diet
- Has been shown to have less interaction with minerals especially phosphorus – maximising P for better performance
- Assists tight junctions to prevent leaky gut
- Has anti-inflammatory effect
- Provides a good medium for healthy gut bacteria

Prosea for pigs
Prosea is a unique, seaweed formulation containing marine minerals, sustainably sourced from the nutrient rich North Atlantic waters. It contains high levels of Calcium and Magnesium as well as the marine bioactives Fucoidan and Laminarin. Fucoidan and Laminarin are derived from the brown seaweed Ascophyllum Nodosum and both have immune modulating properties.
Prosea has a positive impact on sow and piglet performance and increases the longevity and productive life of sows. Prosea improves sow herd health through reduced systemic inflammation, reduced insulin resistance and improved tissue functioning.
Increasing sow output while reducing sow mortality are key parameters for producers who want to see improvements in pig unit performance. Sow mortality has increased in recent years and gestational insulin resistance (diabetes) is the underlying cause in many factors that increase sow and piglet mortality (Kemp et al., 1996; Cheng et al., 2019; Yang et al., 2021).
Shorter Farrowing Time
Farrowing is a stressful stage for sows. Prosea has been shown to reduce farrowing time and result in a quicker expulsion of the placenta. In addition, Prosea has also been shown to have a calming effect and elected behavioural changes in the sow.
Piglets When Prosea is fed to sows, it has been shown to enhance piglet survivability at birth and improve piglet growth, average weaning weight, and litter weight gain at weaning. Prosea also reduces piglet mortality during lactation.
Sows
Prosea increases overall sow lifetime productivity. It has a positive effect on P2 measurements and BCS in sows, while protecting the piglet from metabolic inflammation associated with insulin resistance in the dam. Prosea has a positive effect on tissue functioning, strengthens the gut barrier and reduces the occurrence of pelvic organ prolapses.
Research shows:
- 1.6 extra piglets per sow per year
- Reduced farrowing time by 20 minutes
- Higher litter weights
- Better FCR
- Better body condition score
- Calmer sows – less agitation going into farrowing pens, lie more, less aggression between pigs

Fiberzyme
Energising your feed
Typically Asian ruminant diets have high fibre levels (high NSF) limiting dry matter in take and production.
Fiberzyme produced by a unique Feed Specific Solid State Fermentation technology is specifically designed to provide an enzyme complex to break down fibre helping the rumen microflora to more effectively digest and utilize the feed.
Fiberzyme improves
- Fibre difestibility
- Feed efficiency
- Total solids in milk
- Manure score

New technology - Bacteriaphages
Bacteriaphages
The widespread use of antibiotics has lead to concerns on the development of antimicrobial resistance – a major concern in human and livestock health.
The development of alternative strategies such as bacteriophages provide a safe, affective and host specific method of combating major pathogens such as E.coli, Salmonella(livestock , crops) and Vibrio(Aquaculture).
Evolve is sourcing bacteriophage strains proven to be effective in Asia with proven results in the region.
Found naturally in the environment bacteriophages have the following afvantages
- highly host specific
- do not cause damage to beneficial flora
- do not spread antibiotic resistance
- self replication and self limiting
- not toxic to animals, plants and the environment
- no effect on taste, colour, texture and odour of meat, fruit or vegetable products.

Bioavailable minerals
The bioavailability and effectiveness of macro and trace minerals is affected by the origin and form of the minerals. Evolve has expertise in the best forms of mineral presentation and combination.
