GIIOFEED is GIIAVA's feed-grade lecithin range. The first decision is technical. Our flagship lyso-lecithin formats, hydrolyzed liquid (Ly) and hydrolyzed powder (Py), are for monogastric and aquaculture digestibility. Standard liquid (L) is for pellet-mill lubrication, and standard powder (P) is for accurate gravimetric dosing into a dry premix. The second decision is the raw-material source (sunflower, soy, non-GMO IP soy, rapeseed or ricebran), which comes down to your label, your customers' allergen sensitivity and your regional preferences.
There are four core formats, plus a blended liquid made from several oil sources (LB-MS). The two hydrolyzed grades, Ly and Py, are where most of the modern feed-nutrition lift comes from. Standard liquid (L) and standard powder (P) cover the workhorse pellet-mill and dry-premix jobs.
Phospholipase-A2 hydrolysis converts the parent lecithin into lyso-phospholipids. With one fatty-acid tail removed, the molecule becomes more amphiphilic and the HLB rises. The practical effect in feed is better dietary-fat emulsification at lower inclusion, particularly in monogastric (broiler, layer, swine) and early-stage aquaculture diets. It performs across a wider pH range than intact lecithin and works in immature digestive systems where adult bile and lipase capacity isn't yet in place.
The same lyso-phospholipid chemistry as Ly, delivered on a dry carrier so it doses gravimetrically into a dry premix. The powder gives premix manufacturers the lyso-lecithin functional benefit without handling a viscous liquid: no heated transfer lines, no pump train and no oil leaching into the surrounding starches.
Liquid lecithin doubles as a die-conditioner at the pellet mill. It reduces pellet-press temperature, improves throughput and lowers die wear, and it emulsifies dietary fat at the same time. This is the economical workhorse format for high-volume mills, where the lecithin earns its keep at the press before it reaches the animal.
Liquid lecithin blended with edible oils of several origins, such as soy, rice bran, palm and corn, giving a product with more than 30% phospholipids. The oil fraction is not tied to one crop. Supplied in 200 kg drums, 1,000 kg IBCs or 22 MT flexitanks, with a 12-month shelf life. Download the TDS.
For premix and feed manufacturers who need accurate gravimetric dosing of phosphatidylcholine into a dry matrix, such as broiler starter, layer ration or aqua micro-pellet. Goes through gravity hoppers and ribbon mixers like any other powdered ingredient, with no oil leaching into the carrier.
Lyso-phospholipids as feed emulsifiers and digestibility enhancers are documented across the poultry, swine, and aquaculture nutrition literature. A species-specific paper pack with the inclusion rate and the analytical spec we recommend ships with the TDS. We don't headline-cite single studies, because the right reference depends on your species, stage, and ration baseline.
The four core formats above are available across the GIIOFEED source range. LB-MS is a multi-source blend by design, so it sits outside this choice. The source segment in the SKU determines the allergen statement, the GMO status and the regional positioning of your finished feed.
| Source code | Raw material | When to specify |
|---|---|---|
| F | Sunflower | Soy-free positioning, allergen-sensitive feeds (pet, fish hatchery for premium aquaculture), EU-preferred clean-label. |
| S | Soy | Default high-volume grade. Cost-led applications, standard broiler / layer / cattle / aqua feed. |
| N | Non-GMO IP Soy | EU retailer specs, certified non-GMO premium feed lines, regional markets that require IP-traceable supply. |
| R | Rapeseed | Markets with regional preferences for rapeseed-derived ingredients, or where a non-soy / non-sunflower oilseed source is required. |
| B | Ricebran | Asian markets and ration positioning built around rice-derived raw materials. |
Two segments together produce the SKU: format × source. Example: GIIOFEED-P-N = feed-grade powder lecithin from non-GMO IP soy.
Four formats × five sources, plus the multi-source blended liquid. Not every combination is in continuous production; final grade availability and the analytical spec are on the Technical Data Sheet that ships with your sample.

Schema reminder: Py is typically the Ly liquid sprayed on a food-grade carrier (palm or silica). The carrier appears in the source segment only as a documented dilutant, never as a lecithin source claim.
Standard de-oiled powder lecithin runs phosphatidylcholine (PC) at ≥22%. GIIOFEED-P-S25 is the high-PC specialty grade with PC >25%, designed primarily for shrimp nutrition at a 1:7 blend with GIIOFEED-L liquid, which lifts the diet PL:total-lipid ratio to ~2:1 to match shrimp body composition. It is also used in choline-loading rations, early-stage aquaculture, and monogastric starter diets where lipase capacity is still maturing.
Same de-oiled-powder process, same five-source SKU schema (F / S / N / R / B), same analytical pack on the COA. Only the PC specification is tighter. Available on special request, MOQ and lead time on quotation. See shrimp species page for the body-composition maths and our internal growth-trial reference data.
We don't ship blind samples. A trial is structured so you generate defensible data on your own line and your own animals.
Conservative commercial ranges across species and stage. The final dose is species-, stage- and ration-specific and comes on the TDS with the trial sample. The trial protocol included with every sample is structured to validate the response on your own line.
