For many swine producers, increasing sow profitability means producing more pigs per sow per year. However, research shows that sow retention is crucial to maximize profitability (Gruhot et al., 2017). In a 1-year trial with MINTREX® trace minerals from...
In a 6-week broiler study, TruGro® MAX polyphenol-rich botanical feed additive demonstrated:
Clean feed is defined by high-quality ingredients that enhance not only nutrient composition and digestibility, but also long-term health and performance. By focusing on quality, clean diets provide these benefits, reducing the need for excessive and...
Scientific research, performance trials and a patented process - we've dedicated it all to creating the most outstanding vegetable proteins for young animal nutrition.
When cultivated and processed in a responsible manner, soy can be the sustainable protein source of choice for animals, consumers and our planet. All our soybean meal for our specialty soy ingredients for young animal feed is sourced from approved...
The gut of poultry houses a complex and dynamic ecosystem called the microbiota. This ecosystem maintains a symbiotic relationship with the host.
Yeast derivatives, including yeast cell walls, are well known for their benefits in animal and human nutrition. They are mainly used to help balance the intestinal microflora and help stimulate the host’s natural defenses.
The nutritional status of animals affects their immune functions and resistance to diseases. Hence, nutrition deficiency can cause damage to the animal’s immune system and its organs.
One single fungus can produce different mycotoxins which can lead to several cases of co-contaminations. Various mycotoxins produced by different fungus can be present at the same time in raw materials and feeds.
YeaVita R is a safe and efficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain from rumen, which does not contain any carrier and has more than 20 billion viable strains per gram.
The weaning period is a multi-factorial stressful period for piglets, The feed transition is a key challenge, which obliges the piglets to adapt their immune system in order to accept the new feed. As 70 to 80% of the immune cells are located in the gut,...
Energy is a major driver of feed costs in poultry production. While the energy metabolism is influenced by many factors, the digestive microbiota plays a central role in carbohydrates digestion. It is estimated that, in poultry, 5 to 30% of the total...
When talking about organic selenium, the three words “bioavailability, quality, and price” are always mentioned within the first three sentences.
Live yeast is indeed helpful to regulate rumen microflora and increase milk production. But not all live yeasts show the same effect. Some live yeast can not even survive in the rumen.
In the last two decades, litter size has grown tremendously, with consequences both on the sows and the piglets.
Though solutions based on organic acids have been used for various benefits in feed and feed raw material production for decades, the developments are going faster than ever.
In commercial hatcheries, chicks hatch over a wide hatching window, depriving them from feed and water for up to 72 hours.
The use of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has been recently restricted at high levels in pig feed by EU regulations, due to concerns on environmental pollution and the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. On the other hand, many studies have demonstrated...
Nutritionists are aware of the benefits of feeding organic selenium (Se) to animals instead of inorganic, mineral sources. However, when it comes to selecting the best organic Se source, it can be tricky. There are more and more options on the market...
Genetic selection for increased litter size resulted in lower piglet birth weight and less developed piglets. Piglets also receive less sow colostrum and milk, containing specific prebiotic oligosaccharides necessary for piglet development.
