GIIOFAT

GIIOFAT is a specialty feed-fat brand belonging to GIIAVA Feed, the animal-nutrition arm of the GIIAVA Group. It sits within a portfolio of three feed-ingredient families — GIIOFEED lecithins, feed fats, and FatXcel additives — and is positioned specifically around rumen-bypass fats and bypass-phosphatidylcholine (bypass-PC) programmes for dairy nutrition. Its flagship product, GIIOFAT-P-PA85, is a soy-based palmitic acid powder with a fatty-acid composition of more than 85% C16 (palmitic acid), supplied as a pale yellow powder in 25 kg or 650 kg packaging. The commercial logic of GIIOFAT rests on the behaviour of palmitic acid in the rumen. Because C16 has the highest melting point among the common dietary fatty acids, the product remains solid at rumen temperature, passes the rumen intact without fermenting, does not depress rumen pH, and is absorbed downstream where it supports milk-fat synthesis in the mammary gland. GIIAVA Feed presents this as the established lever for lifting milk-fat percentage without rebuilding the ration — the metric against which many milk-cheque schemes pay. The product information sheet (rev. 01.10.2025) specifies C16 >85 wt%, C14 and below <5 wt%, C18:0 and above <15 wt%, acid value 210–225 mg KOH/g, saponification value 211–226 mg KOH/g, iodine value <15 g I₂/100 g, moisture <0.3 wt%, peroxide value <3 meq/kg, titre 55–63 °C, and a Lovibond colour below 3.0 R / 30.0 Y, with BHT antioxidant at a maximum of 150 ppm. GIIOFAT is manufactured and sold within the GIIAVA Feed structure, which is deliberately kept separate from the group's human-grade food and nutraceutical business in brand, sales team, and supply chain. GIIAVA Feed operates manufacturing in India (Pune and Wai, Maharashtra) and Singapore (10 Ayer Merbau Road), with an EU sales, customer service, and logistics hub in Amsterdam. The feed business serves the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Americas, and holds FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher certifications, with GMP+ certification in progress for the EU operation. Every commercial shipment ships with a Certificate of Analysis, batch-matched allergen statement, BSE/TSE-free declaration, and relevant feed-grade certifications. Within the feed-fat family, GIIOFAT-P-PA85 is the milk-fat uplift product, complemented by MilkGro in India and the AG Lipids / Optymax range outside India, distributed through the GIIAVA-AG Lipids joint venture for bypass-PC and fractionated bypass fats through the transition window. GIIOFAT therefore functions as a technical, application-led brand aimed at dairy operations, feed mills, and integrators rather than a consumer-facing trademark.

GIIOFAT is a feed-fat brand created within GIIAVA Feed, the specialty animal-nutrition arm of the GIIAVA Group. GIIAVA Feed describes itself as an animal-nutrition specialist operating under a separate brand, sales team, and supply chain from the group's human-grade food and nutraceutical business, so that feed-mill and hatchery procurement managers deal with a team focused entirely on animal performance, and human-food customers can be assured that human-grade lines never share production equipment with feed-grade lines. The feed business states that it has operated as a specialty feed-ingredient supplier since 2003, according to its own About page. GIIOFAT emerged as the group's dedicated feed-fat brand, complementing the GIIOFEED lecithin range and the FatXcel additive blends. Its flagship SKU, GIIOFAT-P-PA85, is a soy-based palmitic acid powder specified at more than 85% C16. The product information sheet is dated rev. 01.10.2025, indicating that the current specification was formalised in late 2025. The brand's technical rationale draws on published dairy-science work — GIIAVA Feed cites Lock et al., Journal of Dairy Science 96:6650–6659 (2013) — showing high-C16 rumen-bypass fat as an established lever for raising milk-fat percentage. Manufacturing for GIIAVA Feed takes place in India at Pune and Wai, Maharashtra, and in Singapore at 10 Ayer Merbau Road. The Indian operation serves the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and Europe with feed-grade phospholipids and bypass-fat products, while the Singapore plant serves Southeast Asian aquaculture and integrators and the Americas via dedicated logistics partners. A commercial office is maintained in Pune, and an Amsterdam hub handles EU sales, customer service, and logistics, with local processing through European partners and no GIIAVA-owned production in the EU. The company holds FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher certifications, with GMP+ certification in progress for the EU operation. Within the feed-fat family, GIIOFAT-P-PA85 is the milk-fat uplift product. In India it is complemented by MilkGro, and outside India by the AG Lipids / Optymax range distributed through the GIIAVA-AG Lipids joint venture, covering bypass-PC and fractionated bypass fats through the transition window. Every commercial shipment ships with a Certificate of Analysis, batch-matched allergen statement, BSE/TSE-free declaration, and the relevant feed-grade certifications, and customer audits are welcomed at the Indian and Singapore production sites.
