Natural Plant-Based Feed Additive for Healthy Livestock & Aquaculture
Tea Saponin is a high-quality, plant-derived triterpenoid saponin extracted from tea seeds (Camellia spp.). Designed for feed applications, it acts as a natural emulsifier, promoting fat digestion and enhancing nutrient absorption. Its antimicrobial and gut-supportive properties help maintain a healthy intestinal environment for fish, shrimp, poultry, swine, and ruminants.
