Formulation Expertise

Watson has over 45 years of experience and technology to custom formulate premixes that meet our customer's individual needs. Our custom premixes provide optimum nutrient value, sensory quality, economy and potency.

In fulfilling the customer's requirements, we consider the chemical and physical properties of each micronutrient to be used as well as it's capability with the finished product. We build in the overages necessary to compensate for processing and storage losses. We offer micro-encapsulation technologies to ensure stability, heat tolerance and the masking of undesirable flavors and odors.
