aXichem notes growing commercial adoption in Brazil for aXiphen[®] ruminant as Garra Nutrição increases volume to four tonnes
aXichem AB (publ), (aXichem), which develops natural analogue feed additives and dietary supplement ingredients, announces that Brazilian customer Garra Nutrição Animal, an animal nutrition company focused on solutions and technical support for dairy and beef cattle producers, has ordered four tonnes of aXiphen® ruminant (phenylcapsaicin) from aXichem’s distributor Chr. Olesen.
Garra Nutrição became a customer shortly after aXiphen® was registered in Brazil for ruminant feed. The company, that began with smaller monthly volumes, has now ordered four tonnes. The larger Garra Nutrição volume is an indication of growing commercial adoption of aXiphen® ruminant in the ruminant feed segment in Brazil.
Under aXichem's commercial model in Brazil aXiphen® ruminant and aXiphen® poultry is supplied through distributor Chr. Olesen, which holds local stock and delivers directly to Brazilian customers.
Lucas Altepost, Deputy Managing Director and VP Sales & Marketing at aXichem, comments:
“Garra Nutrição has worked with aXiphen® since shortly after the ruminant registration. The increasing volume, to four tonnes, is an encouraging sign that experience with the product is translating into wider use. We are pleased to support this development together with Chr. Olesen in Brazil.”

About phenylcapsaicin and aXiphen®
The health benefits of chili, with its active ingredient capsaicin, have been known for centuries. aXichem's proprietary molecule, phenylcapsaicin, combines the naturally occurring phenyl group with capsaicin, bridged by a triple bond. The result is an innovative natural analogue of capsaicin with high purity and greatly reduced pungency.
aXiphen® (phenylcapsaicin) is approved and registered in Brazil as a feed additive for use in feed for poultry, pigs and ruminants.
