LysiGEM^™ Extend

Concentrated Rumen-Protected Lysine

Modern dairy farmers are looking to improve efficiency and consistency in sustainable ways. LysiGEM^™ Extend is formulated to help. The next generation of metabolizable protein, LysiGEM Extend is one of the most concentrated sources of rumen-protected lysine in the market today. 

How is LysiGEM Extend different from other sources of rumen-protected lysine?

Unlike other sources of rumen-protected lysine, LysiGEM Extend is made using proprietary GEM encapsulation and core technologies that deliver the highest concentration per unit of metabolizable lysine at the intestinal level.

Benefits of GEM encapsulation:

• Allows for targeted release of nutrients along the gastrointestinal tract.
• Reduces rumen retention time and protects essential nutrients from rumen degradation while delivering to small intestine.
• Masks odors and taste to improve palatability and handling.
• Provides for a high concentration of core nutrients.
• Makes LysiGEM Extend granules more durable.
