Feedbuds® Flavor Systems
QualiTech Feedbuds® flavor systems are custom formulated using ingredients that are proven to increase the palatability of animal feeds. Feedbuds® are complex mixtures of attractant and masking compounds that provide an optimal level of appropriate aroma and flavor.
QualiTech Feedbuds® flavor systems are available in a wide range of flavors and formulations. That means you have a number of choices to help maintain consistent feed consumption and maximize feed intake and growth. Feedbuds® are also a great strategy to help with early weaning of young animals, increase or maintain consumption of milk replacers.

Sweeteners
QualiTech’s sweetener products take advantage of livestock’s heightened senses of smell and taste to help increase or stabilize feed intake.
Livestock are also creatures of habit, especially dairy cattle. Using one of QualiTech’s proprietary sweeteners helps to keep a consistent flavor in front of the animals to avoid potential feed rejections when commodity sources or consistency changes.
Consumption Limiters
For those situations where control of animal intake is necessary, QualiTech produces Bitter Orange—a consumption limiting product to help keep intake levels down. These are especially important in supplements fed to cattle on pasture where overconsumption can be a problem. Overconsumption of protein and energy supplements can be costly and when intake of mineral supplements is excessive some of the mineral may simply pass through the animal.
Bitter Orange is available in both dry and liquid form.
