In order to maximise production results in the livestock industry, it is important to understand the challenges that animals face.
Solutions through the feed can support growth, health and overall performance. Let’s delve into the fascinating world of animal nutrition and its importance in agriculture.

Beyond zinc oxide: nutritional solutions for post-weaning piglets
Weaning marks one of the most challenging phases in a piglet’s life, as it brings significant nutritional and environmental shifts alongside social and physiological stresses. These challenges often result in intestinal and immune dysfunctions, leading to post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD). For decades, zinc oxide has been a key solution in reducing PWD and supporting piglet performance. However, its widespread use has raised serious environmental concerns, spurring a global shift toward sustainable alternatives. Transitioning to zero ZnO diets is no easy task, but with innovative feed additives like EndoBan®, producers can successfully achieve robust health and consistent growth for piglets. EndoBan® offers a proven pathway to meet these challenges head-on while ensuring optimal performance during the crucial weaning phase.

Understanding the impact of oxidative damage on poultry & pigs
Oxidative stress poses a significant challenge in modern poultry and pig production systems. Triggered by factors such as high metabolic rates, environmental stressors, pathogens, and poor-quality feed, oxidative damage undermines animal health and performance. It leads to cell damage, reduced fertility, impaired immunity, and compromised meat and egg quality. This not only impacts production efficiency but also threatens the profitability and sustainability of livestock farming. To address these challenges, PhytoStar® Extra emerges as a 100% natural solution that helps combat oxidative damage effectively.

Endotoxins and heat stress, not your cows’ best friends
Heat stress is a significant challenge for dairy farming, particularly during prolonged and hot summers. It reduces milk yield and quality, compromises cattle welfare, and increases the harmful effects of endotoxins. The interaction between heat stress and endotoxins threatens ruminant health and productivity.
Proactive measures are essential to address these challenges as global temperatures continue to rise.

The impact of antibiotics: strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) arises when microorganisms evolve to resist the effects of antibiotics, creating a mounting global challenge for both human and animal health.
By fostering robust gut health and adopting sustainable strategies, it is possible to reduce antibiotic reliance without compromising animal performance.
Our solutions empower producers to take action – safely and efficiently reducing antibiotic use while promoting healthier, more productive livestock.
