ExpandaTherm

At AminoMax^®, our only business is producing premium protein sources of amino acids for dairy cows.  One challenge all feed and ingredient manufacturers need to overcome is ingredient variation. AminoMax^® has ownership of a proprietary technology called ExpandaTherm^TM. Through ExpandaTherm^TM we can control enzymatic activity and pressure through a flash heat process that assures all reactions are complete. By managing temperature, moisture and retention times, and other variables from batch to batch, AminoMax^® Pro, AminoGreen^® and custom blends deliver better mixability, nutrient consistency, homogenous particles and maximum nutrient digestibility in a dairy cow’s lower intestinal tract. Numerous studies from Cornell University show that the intestinal digestibility of AminoMax^® proteins is improved due to ExpandaTherm^TM. ExpandaTherm^TM also offers unparalleled flexibility and control so that we can deliver custom feed solutions to customer specifications. 

For AminoMax^®, manufacturing a premium bypass product is not a sideline business resulting from another manufacturing process. Rather, we have strategically invested in our proprietary ExpandaTherm^TM technology. Unlike expeller-extruded soybean meal, our ExpandaTherm^TM delivers a consistently superior bypass protein with reduced variability that is associated with most mechanical processes. 

ExpandaTherm^TM technology delivers proven benefits:

• University-tested to improve nutrient bioavailability

• Delivers consistent nutrient density and bypass protein values

• Better feed efficiency

• Reduced nitrogen excretion

• Improved milk production
