Company Overview
Founded with a commitment to innovation and precision, Unipoint AG leverages Switzerland’s robust scientific infrastructure and regulatory integrity to produce feed additives that meet the highest quality and safety standards. The company's flagship product, Klinofeed, is a natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) that acts as a multifunctional feed additive used across various animal species.
Unipoint AG operates globally, exporting to over 40 countries, and has developed long-standing relationships with feed manufacturers, integrators, and distributors throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Core Product: Klinofeed®
Klinofeed® is a certified, high-purity clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin, used in animal feed for its physical and chemical binding properties. It is classified under:
- Feed material (EU 1g568)
- Registered in accordance with EU Feed Additive Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003
Key Features of Klinofeed:
- Mycotoxin Binding: Binds aflatoxins and other harmful mycotoxins, reducing their absorption in the animal gut
- Ammonia Reduction: Minimizes ammonia formation in the gastrointestinal tract, improving air quality and gut environment
- Improved Digestive Efficiency: Supports nutrient absorption and gastrointestinal health through ion-exchange mechanisms
- Stool Consistency and Odor Reduction: Used in pig and poultry production to improve litter quality and reduce odor
- Mineral Exchange Capability: Provides a natural source of silicon and exchangeable cations (Na, K, Ca, Mg)
Species Applicability
Klinofeed is used across a wide range of animal categories:
- Poultry: Broilers, layers, and breeders
- Swine: Piglets, growers, sows
- Cattle: Dairy and beef
- Aquaculture: Shrimp and fish
- Pets: Used in some companion animal diets and litter products
In poultry trials, Klinofeed has demonstrated up to 12% improvement in feed conversion ratios (FCR) and reduced mortality in high-risk mycotoxin exposure environments. In swine, studies showed enhanced daily weight gain and improved fecal score when used as part of mycotoxin mitigation protocols.
Regulatory and Quality Compliance
Unipoint AG adheres to the strictest European and international regulatory frameworks:
- EU-registered feed material under No. 1g568
- GMP+ certified for feed safety and traceability
- Compliant with Swiss feed law and global Codex Alimentarius standards

Klinofeed is also authorized in several non-EU markets including China, South Korea, Russia, Brazil, and GCC countries, each with their own local registrations and quality certifications.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Unipoint AG sources its clinoptilolite from exclusive, carefully selected quarries in Europe known for:
- >90% purity of clinoptilolite content
- Low levels of undesirable substances such as heavy metals, dioxins, and fluorine
- Controlled particle size for optimized bioavailability and mixing
The production process includes:
- Micronization and particle uniformity treatment
- Sterile packaging in dust-controlled environments
- Batch-level testing for purity, exchange capacity, and microbial safety
Market Presence and Distribution
With a growing global footprint, Unipoint AG supplies its products through:
- Direct export to feed manufacturers and integrators
- Exclusive distributors in over 30 countries
- Partnerships with global veterinary and feed additive companies
Klinofeed is featured in several premix, complete feed, and toxin binder product lines marketed by regional partners under joint branding or OEM arrangements.
Scientific Validation and Research
Klinofeed’s performance has been validated in collaboration with:
- European veterinary universities
- Independent analytical laboratories
- Feed trials on commercial farms across the EU and Asia
Peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated:
- 70–90% binding efficiency for aflatoxin B1 in simulated digestive environments
- Significant reduction in diarrhea incidence in piglets during weaning
- Improved egg shell strength and feed intake in layers during heat stress
The product’s safety and efficacy profile has been submitted and reviewed under EFSA’s scientific opinions for feed materials.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
Klinofeed supports sustainable agriculture through:
- Reduced reliance on synthetic binders and antibiotics
- Lower ammonia emissions improving livestock housing conditions
- Enhanced feed efficiency and reduced feed cost per unit of gain
- Improved manure quality suitable for composting and field application
Its inert, natural origin ensures zero withdrawal period, no residues, and compatibility with organic farming guidelines in several jurisdictions.
Strategic Goals and Innovation
Unipoint AG is focused on:
- Expanding R&D into functionalized zeolites with targeted binding capabilities
- Digital traceability systems for quality control and customer assurance
- Customizable Klinofeed blends for species-specific or regional market needs
- Enhancing education and training tools for feed industry professionals
Through its singular focus on quality, performance, and scientific integrity, Unipoint AG has established Klinofeed as one of the most recognized clinoptilolite-based feed additives in the global animal nutrition industry.
