LysiGEM™ Extend
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.
Productivity
Helps meet metabolizable lysine requirements needed to achieve maximum production levels.
Precision Feeding
Is an effective tool in achieving precision feeding in dairy production compared to relying on excess crude protein in diets.
Sustainable Farming
With proper diet formulation, helps reduce nitrogen excretion in manure, limit excess crude protein fed and improve overall nitrogen-use efficiency for growth and milk production.3,4
Developed by Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health, LysiGEM Extend enables dairy farmers to meet the precise nutritional needs of their dairy cows while focusing on sustainability.
LysiGEM Extend helps improve efficiency and consistency in nutrition programs and reduces nutrient waste from dairy farming.
"When formulating diets, it’s common to underestimate the amount of metabolizable lysine needed to maximize dairy productivity. Higher production levels, newer genetics and updated nutrition models require higher levels of metabolizable lysine to meet National Research Council requirements." — Dr. Elliot Neto, Ruminant Technical Services Manager, Kemin Industries |
LysiGEM Extend Bioavailability Research
The bioavailability of LysiGEM Extend is 49%, determined using data generated from a University of New Hampshire research trial.1
This trial used the plasma free AA dose-response technique2, which is considered to be the gold standard for comparison of rumen-protected encapsulated amino acids.
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.
Our proprietary GEM encapsulation technology reduces rumen retention through:

Maximizing the Feed Efficiency of Pigs
With an increasing global demand for protein, improving the efficiency of swine production is critical. Feed efficiency represents the efficiency with which pigs utilize dietary energy and nutrients for maintenance, lean gain, and lipid accretion. Greater feed efficiency is achieved when productive and healthy animals require less feed or a shorter time to hit market weight goals.
