Introducing Carotino
Animal Feed (CAF100) Healthy, sustainable nourishment for animals
Introduction
• Carotino Animal Feed is produced by the Carotino Group, a vertically
integrated company which owns and manages thousands acres of
environmentally sustainable oil palm plantations, plus oil mills and a
dedicated refinery in Malaysia.
• Fat is the most economical source of energy concentrate for animal feed
and Carotino Animal Feed (CAF100) has a high proportion of palmitic
acid with 99.5% fat content.
• CAF100 is a specially formulated high energy feed fat that offers a
significant source of natural nutrients (carotenes, tocotrienols and
tocopherols) for the same cost effective price as a basic, no frills, low
nutrition feed.
• Carotino has full GMP+ Food Safety Assurance for the
production of feed materials, feed ingredients and fat granules.
Benefits
Benefits to Animal Health

• Improves quality of eggs and laying performance in chickens
• Increases fertility and the percentage of live new-born piglets, goats
and calves
• Improves milk production in cows
• Produces better quality milk to feed baby animals
• Can be added to pet foods to enhance nutrition for dogs, cats and
rabbits etc.
Specifications
• Minimum 99.5% fat

(Pro-Vitamin A), tocotrienols &
tocopherols (Vitamin E)

energy found in grains
• Effective carrier of other nutrients
• High concentration of palmitic acid
• Contains no harmful trans fats
• Provides a solubilising medium for
nutrients
• Increases the absorption of fat
soluble vitamins
• Helps increase the absorption of
calcium

carbohydrates

International Accreditations
• CAF100 is produced in
factories which meet the
highest international
standards of production.
• CAF100 has full GMP+
Food Safety Assurance for
the production of feed
materials, feed ingredients
and fat granules.
Case Study – Adding CAF to Chicken Feed
• Fortifying the diet of chickens with carotenoids supplements has been shown to increase
the presence of this nutrient in egg yolks. However, because of the relative expense, it
has not been seen as a commercially viable option.
• Prof. ASJ Benade of Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa, oversaw a
16-week study to measure the effects of adding CAF100 to chicken feed in terms of the
increase in the carotene and Vitamin E content of eggs.
• 900 chickens of the same age were used in the experiment and the layers were divided
into three groups of 300. The first group ate standard chicken feed, the second group ate
feed with 1% added CAF100 and the third group ate feed with 2% added CAF100.
• The carotenoid, tocotrienol and tocopherol
content of the eggs was measured at the end
of each phase of the experiment. (After 12
weeks in Phase 1 and 4 weeks in Phase 2)
• The results showed that when 2% CAF100 is
added to standard chicken feed, the carotenoid
content of eggs was boosted by 14-18%.
Case Study – Fattening Pigs in Lithuania
• A study was carried out by a
company called Kaisiadoriu
Agrofirma in Lithuania to
determine the efficiency of
CAF 100 for fattening pigs.
• During the 2.5 month
experiment, three parallel
groups were made up and
given different food to eat.
Two groups had their diets
supplemented with CAF100.
(See upper table.)
• The results showed that pigs
fed with CAF100 showed
significant weight gain. (See
lower table.)
Commitment to Sustainability
• Like all Carotino products, Carotino Animal Feed is ethically
sourced using red palm fruit oil from environmentally sustainable
plantations which uphold the highest international standards.
• The Carotino Group is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable
Palm Oil (RSPO).
