About us
Our story
Our company was founded with an unwavering passion and commitment to fostering a more sustainable and progressive food production landscape.
Through creativity and science, we are paving a new path that reimagines how we approach animal health and nutrition. Our holistic approach is designed to align the industry’s evolving standards with consumer well-being and satisfaction.
We believe that with ADDIX, it all adds up.
As industry partners in progress, we are committed to providing science-backed feed additives tailored to support poultry and swine producers. We focus on building lasting partnerships rooted in shared values and mutual trust.
ADDIX as a family-owned company, is dedicated to carrying forward the legacy of our founder, expanding across industries to enhance productivity, well-being, and quality of life.

The vision behind our commitment to quality
ADDIX is part of the Carval’s ecosystem of companies, founded by Carlos A. Vallecilla Borrero, in the 1950’s.

Beyond the farm|Processing


Redefining feed efficiency and animal performance.
Optimizing Metabolizable Energy (ME) and Net Energy (NE) is critical for sustainable animal production, as it directly affects growth, reproduction, and feed efficiency. In poultry, swine, cattle, aquaculture and pets. Lifos™ 6.0 and Lifos™ 10.0, supported by the cutting-edge Nutrilip℠ program, provides an innovative solution for optimizing ME from feed fat sources while improving animal performance and profitability.


Key benefits
Enhanced fat utilization
Combines lysophospholipids to boost digestion, emulsification, and absorption of dietary fats.
Cost-Effective feed formulations
Acts as a precursor for choline synthesis, reducing or replacing choline chloride in feeds.
Improved nutrient bioavailability
Supports liver health and minimizes energy loss, ensuring optimal fat mobilization.
The Nutrilip℠ program
Designed by ADDIX to optimize the energy contribution from fats in feed
This program is based on controlled and field studies across swine, broilers, commercial layers, and turkeys to generate data on ME and NE optimization from fats and oils.
What it does…
Measures critical quality parameters like Free Fatty Acids (FFA).
Evaluates fatty acid profiles and fat quality.
Provides energy contribution analysis using advanced tools.
By incorporating Lifos™ 6.0 or Lifos™ 10.0 into feed strategies, producers can achieve superior efficiency, reduced costs, and support for sustainable livestock production.

Improx™ is an innovative feed additive meticulously designed to enhance performance and health in animal production.

What makes Improx™ unique?
Improx™ is a proprietary formulation of an Ionized Alkaline Anionic Mineral Complex, that ensures high bioavailability and immune enhancement. It operates effectively in an alkaline environment (pH of 13.5), providing the ideal conditions for its active ingredients to thrive.
Mineral composition
The powerful formula of ImproxTM includes essential ions that work synergistically to promote animal health and performance.
The role of silicic acid
Improx™ combines monomeric and polymeric silicic acid in an alkaline solution with fructooligosaccharides (FOS). This unique combination stimulates the membranes associated with lymphoid tissue, especially enteric (GALT) and respiratory (BALT), leading to the activation and proliferation of immune cells, including CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes.
Enhanced immune response
Improx ™ significantly strengthens respiratory defense mechanisms by stimulating immune cells, improving pathogen clearance, and boosting the activity of CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, which are crucial for adaptive immunity.
Improved overall health
With the inclusion of silicic acid, Improx™ not only promotes skeletal and tissue integrity in poultry but also supports respiratory health, reducing disease susceptibility.
ADDIX designed and performed controlled, and field studies that have shown that silicic acid has multiple benefits to support growth, health and performance in animal production.
