Concentrados Cisternas is a Chilean company with over 70 years of experience in animal nutrition. Now led by Marcelo Cisterna, the company has upheld a strong commitment to family values and respect for Chilean agriculture for generations. This dedication is shown through the careful selection of ingredients and formulas that promote the health and well-being of animals.
Concentrados Cisternas prioritizes locally sourced raw materials, like grains and vegetables, to support sustainability and the growth of rural Chilean communities. By choosing fresh, regional ingredients, the company ensures its products are reliable for farmers who value natural, healthy farming that respects rural environments and traditional practices.
Introducing Panaferd: An Innovation for Laying Hens
In an industry where many companies use synthetic pigments and chemical additives to cut costs, Concentrados Cisterna has chosen a different path. They’ve opted to innovate in the functional nutrition of laying hens by incorporating Panaferd into their Layer 15 and 17 diets. Panaferd, derived from fermented microorganisms rich in super-antioxidant carotenoids, provides specific health benefits to hens and enhances egg quality-reflecting the company’s philosophy of offering high-quality, healthy nutrition.
Panaferd stands out for its ability to provide organic pigments, such as astaxanthin and adonirubin, which are commonly found in insects and microorganisms. These compounds support hen health and improve egg quality, meeting farmers’ demand for effective, natural products to produce high-quality eggs.
The Impact of Panaferd on Immunity and Egg Quality
Astaxanthin and other carotenoids have a remarkable impact on the immunity and health of laying hens. Strengthening the birds’ immune systems helps them resist disease and reduces inflammation-crucial factors in high-production settings. Another benefit of this immune boost is decreased reliance on chemical treatments, promoting a more natural and safer egg production for consumers.
Using Panaferd also significantly improves egg quality. Its astaxanthin content, along with over seven natural pigments and the lutein and zeaxanthin from grains and vegetables in the hens’ diet, provides vibrant, uniform yolk color while enhancing nutritional value. These antioxidant pigments offer human health benefits, particularly in eye protection, reduction of free radicals, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Innovation and the Future of Concentrados Cisterna
Looking to the future, Concentrados Cisterna is preparing to update its labels and expand training for its clients so farmers can maximize the benefits of products like Panaferd in their hens’ diets.
Through these initiatives, Concentrados Cisterna reaffirms its role as a leader in animal nutrition in southern Chile, offering products that improve production and respect the traditions of Chilean farming. The company remains committed to promoting healthy and sustainable farming practices aligned with its customers’ values and family legacy.
