Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM)
Milk – but not as you know it
Milk contributes to the survival and fitness of newborns. MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane), a lipid-containing component of cow’s milk, is essentially contributing to neonatal health. Elaborative research, done by Nukamel, converts these benefits of MFGM into clear economical gains in young animal nutrition.

Nutritional knowledge
Growth through research
Nukamel has been putting science into products for nearly 70 years. Through our scientific research, we can provide feed mills and farmers with dairy-based nutritional solutions and services that meet the unique needs of young animals.
Optimising animal nutrition at an early stage truly has a lifelong impact. As the genetics of animals advance through development, so do their nutritional needs. While our products help the animals to achieve their full genetical potential, they also enable farmers to improve the efficiency of their production and reduce the environmental impact.
Top-quality raw materials
Focus on nutritional value
Milk and dairy products are naturally rich sources of a wide range of essential nutrients, growth factors and bioactive components that all young animals need.
As a dairy specialist, Nukamel selects only top-quality sources. This selection is made based on our profound scientific understanding of the entire dairy production process.
We know that heat treatment of milk components lowers their nutritional value and can destroy their health benefits. We are committed to using only fresh, high-quality, low heat-treated ingredients that are rich in bioactive components.
Spray cooling
Outstanding performance
The heart of our production process is ‘spray cooling’ – a unique, gentle, and highly controlled processing technique. Years of extensive research shows that spray cooled products ensure better digestibility and performance in young mammals.

Steven Cools
R&D Expert
Curing animals was my passion. However, keeping them sound and this yet from the beginning, pays off better. Therefore, with a PhD in the pocket and my field experience, I contribute nowadays to Nukamel's 'art of growing' in the poultry business.

Albert Einstein once said: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." Every day Nukamel plants seeds for a future harvest. Whether it concerns small steps in the optimisation of our current solutions or huge leaps into the future using our brightest imagination, both are fascinating to contribute to.

International Product Manager Calves
With a passion for animal nutrition and years of experience in feed, I have dedicated my career to supporting the growth and health of livestock. I firmly believe that feeding the youngest calves is the first and most crucial step toward raising healthy and highly productive animals.
In addition, making scientific research easy to understand helps farmers apply the latest insights confidently in their daily work.
