Liver is one of the important organs in pigs. It has the functions of nutritional metabolism, detoxification, digestion and immunity, and 85% of pig diseases are related to liver damage.
The poultry gut houses a complex, dynamic and essential ecosystem, involved in birds’ metabolism and performance. State-of-the-art microbial analysis techniques, including metagenomics, help understand the gut microbial composition and decipher the...
In a 6-week broiler study, TruGro® MAX polyphenol-rich botanical feed additive demonstrated:
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.
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...
Weaning pigs with an extra profit of 0.7€ per animal without therapeutical Zinc oxide has been successfully achieved by Nuscience and ATR in Denmark.
Increased demand for pelleted feed, with more and more stringent processes, could limit the inclusion of probiotic live yeast in this form of feed.

The use of sprayed dried plasma protein is commonplace in piglet diets worldwide, but an alternative is available in the form of functional yeast - GroPro.
Heat stress is a growing concern in beef and dairy cattle worldwide and can impact both animal health and performance
Phytogenic substances are increasingly accepted by the feed industry to improve animal performance.
With high fluctuations in feed, milk and meat prices, improving feed efficiency and maximizing income over feed cost (IOFC) is crucial.
