NuxaFen®: Cost-effective Antioxidant Innovation for Animal Nutrition
The search for natural and efficient alternatives in animal nutrition has gained significant attention, and Nuproxa Brasil is at the forefront of this innovation. Today, we are proud to introduce NuxaFen®, our latest breakthrough product that offers remarkable benefits in poultry and swine production. Derived from dried grape extract, NuxaFen® is rich in high-quality polyphenols, including proanthocyanidins, providing superior antioxidant capacity compared to synthetic vitamin E.
Synthetic vitamin E is widely used in feed formulation due to its physiological benefits and antioxidant 
effects. However, its high cost often hinders its widespread use as an antioxidant additive, impacting feed quality. With NuxaFen®, it becomes possible to partially or even fully replace synthetic vitamin E as a nutritional requirement and antioxidant additive, not only ensuring balanced nutrition for the animals but also significantly reducing formulation costs.
The polyphenols in NuxaFen® have been scientifically proven to effectively mitigate oxidative stress, resulting in improved productive, reproductive, and meat quality parameters in animals fed with this innovative product.
Scientifically Proven Effectiveness
A recent study conducted by the esteemed research service ZOOTEST in Ploufragan, France, evaluated the potential of NuxaFen® to partially or fully replace synthetic vitamin E in broiler diets. The study involved 1020 ROSS-308 strain chicks (100% male) over a 42-day period, and the results were astonishing. Chickens fed with challenge diets containing NuxaFen® exhibited similar body weight to those fed with synthetic vitamin E, regardless of partial or total replacement. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in the zootechnical performance of the animals, including feed conversion ratio and antioxidant status.
The study further assessed diets with high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, iron, and metabolizable energy, testing the animals’ antioxidant system under challenging conditions. Even in these rigorous settings, NuxaFen® demonstrated its effectiveness in preserving the performance and health of the birds.
Based on these compelling findings, it is evident that NuxaFen® can bring substantial benefits to the poultry industry by providing a sustainable and natural alternative to synthetic vitamin E, while offering comprehensive antioxidant protection to ensure animal health and welfare.
Commitment to Innovation
With the introduction of NuxaFen® to the Brazilian market, Nuproxa Brasil reinforces its commitment to delivering innovative and natural solutions for the animal industry. “We believe that NuxaFen® will be a strategic differentiator for producers, providing quality nutrition, improving animal performance, and enhancing business profitability,” says Homero Borin, Vice President of LATAM Business at Nuproxa.
