Synchronized Precision Delivery of Nutrients for Gut Harmony and Sustainability

Bold Ambitions, Radical Innovations: Redefining Animal Nutrition for a Sustainable Future 

Bold ambitions drive radical innovations—and our vision for the future of animal nutrition is no exception. Achieving truly sustainable animal agriculture requires more than just high-quality feed. It demands a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between an animal’s digestive system and its microbiome—a complex, dynamic ecosystem where harmony is essential. 

Moving Beyond Traditional Nutrition 

For decades, animal nutrition strategies have focused on boosting productivity by supplementing diets with high-quality ingredients such as grains, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. While this approach has delivered performance gains, it has also exposed a critical vulnerability: the mismatch between digestion and absorption. This asynchrony often results in a nutrient-rich environment that opportunistic pathogens and competing gut microbes eagerly exploit. 

In collaboration with leading scientists, Jefo Nutrition, Inc. is reshaping the nutritional paradigm. We're advancing beyond the conventional practice of over-supplying nutrients to offset bioavailability and stability concerns. Instead, we champion a new frontier: Synchronized Intestinal Nutrition. This next-generation approach delivers nutrients at precisely the right time, place, and form—aligned with both the animal's physiological needs and the natural rhythms of its microbiome, without fueling harmful microbes. 

Enter the JEFO Matrix Technology (JMT) 

At the heart of this innovation is the JEFO Matrix Technology (JMT)—a cutting-edge nutrient delivery system that synchronizes the release of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds with the natural digestion of feed ingredients. 

JMT enables more efficient use of costly feed additives by protecting them from degradation during storage and handling. This not only improves nutrient bioavailability but also reduces nutrient “run-off” into the hindgut, which helps suppress harmful pathogens while encouraging beneficial microbes to thrive. Additionally, JMT significantly reduces physical losses and dust emissions during feed manufacturing—enhancing safety for feed mill workers. 

A Game-Changer for Vitamin Stability 

Vitamins, especially fat-soluble ones like A, D, and E, are particularly prone to degradation from oxygen and trace minerals (such as iron, copper, zinc, and manganese). JMT’s encapsulation technology creates a protective barrier against these oxidation catalysts, even when trace minerals are included within the same microcapsule. 

Water-soluble vitamins, including the B-complex group and vitamin C, are also sensitive to factors like heat, pH, light, and moisture. Moreover, their absorption depends on carrier proteins that can become saturated—meaning excess vitamins may go unabsorbed and serve as metabolic co-factors for pathogens. JMT prevents this by protecting the vitamins’ bioactive integrity and optimizing their release for better absorption. 

Poultry and swine trials have shown that with JMT-encapsulated vitamins, dietary inclusion levels can be reduced by up to 75%—meeting or even falling below NRC recommendations—without compromising, and often improving, productive performance. Observed benefits include better body weights, feed efficiency, yolk and skin pigmentation, meat quality, reproductive performance, health and welfare, gut microbiome balance, and overall digestive wellness. 

Beyond Vitamins: The Gut Harmony Concept 

While JMT’s foundation lies in vitamin and trace mineral protection, its versatility extends much further. The technology also supports the inclusion of a broad range of nutrients and bioactive compounds—such as fermentation extracts, enzymes, amino acids, organic acids, essential oils, and phytobiotics. 

This ability to stack complementary ingredients into single or blended JMT prills is what underpins our Gut Harmony concept. Each JMT premix can be fully customized based on species, production phase, manufacturing constraints, and performance goals—making it a flexible and scalable solution for modern livestock operations. 

The Future of Animal Nutrition Is in Balance 

In an era where both efficiency and sustainability are paramount, the future of animal nutrition lies not in excess, but in precision and balance. Through synchronized intestinal nutrition, Jefo Nutrition, Inc. is forging a path where innovation works in harmony with nature—empowering healthier animals, more efficient farms, and a more sustainable food system.
