About 20 years ago, the use of feed antibiotics and some other antimicrobial compounds, used as performance enhancers became the target of increasing public criticism and a topic of political controversy (particularly in the EU countries). As the first country in Europe, Sweden banned the use of antimicrobial growth promoters as early as 1986.
Correct management and adapting diets to a dog’s changing nutritional requirements over their entire lifespan is essential for long-term health, wellness and longevity.
The chart below illustrates the progression of dental disease that is as common for dogs and cats as it is for humans.
Like humans, dogs are living longer and therefore spend a longer period of life as a senior. With this growth in the ageing dog population, more pet parents are experiencing the strain of having an older dog presenting with a decline in cognitive function. This condition is called Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) and is compared to Alzheimer’s disease in humans.
Eggs are recognized as having a low greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint compared to meat and milk and offer an affordable, safe and accessible form of nutrition for populations worldwide.
The name “Vitamin” was created by research scientist Casimir Funk over 100 years where he identified that some dietary compounds, which if not present, led to the development of certain diseases. He believed these essential dietary compounds were amines and derived name “Vitamin” by combining the Latin word “vita” meaning “life” with the chemical term “amine”.

Considering the debate on the environmental cost of animal protein production, it is vitally important to consider ways of reducing loss and waste of this valuable protein source.
The environmental challenges are huge to meet the growing need for food worldwide. Rethinking the way the food system works is key to delivering healthy, sustainable food to a growing population and protecting the planet. While no single solution is sufficient, reducing food loss and waste is crucial.
Fueled by escalating population growth, global demand for sustainable animal protein is growing, placing increasing pressure on the planet’s finite resources. But what does ‘sustainable animal protein’ mean in practical terms, and how can it be transformed from a business value into a business driver?
Predictions from the World Resources Institute indicate that world demand for animal protein will swell to 445 million tons per year by 2050, or by 70% compared to today.
Emissions at vitamin production facility in Sisseln, Switzerland cut by 50,000 tons/year due to new biomass heat and power plant on site.
There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that antioxidants benefit both man and animals. They manage the damaging impact of free radicals on the body.
One thing that still occurs in the swine industry sometimes is mulberry heart disease in the nursery pigs and it's not very common but when it does occur, it's a few pigs and it might be an indication that there's a need for improving supplementation levels to reduce the potential for losses due that mulberry heart disease, which is characteristic of either vitamin E or selenium deficiency.
Optimal gastrointestinal function is influenced by many factors, including gut microbiota and the way it interacts with the host. In fact, the gastrointestinal microbiota has proven to modulate the development of the gastrointestinal tract and improve its morphology, stimulating the development of the gastrointestinal immune system, promoting host nutrition and reducing gastrointestinal pathogens.
Just like human athletes, canine athletes need specialist nutrition, supported by appropriate training to perform at their very best. When considering the active dog, it is easy to think of the extremes, the Greyhound and endurance racing Husky, from which much information on canine nutritional requirements for activity have been generated.
Food quality is high on the consumers agenda, not only for themselves but also for their furry children due to highly publicized pet food fraud scandals, pet food recalls related to vitamins, an overall increase in nutritional health awareness, and pet humanization.
Pet food products are highly regulated, from the ingredients used, through to production, marketing and sales. This need for tight regulation and control is only right. Pets are important family members, and just like children, they depend on us to provide safe, nourishing food that supports their lifelong health and wellbeing.
Following the European ban of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in 2006, the use of organic acids in animal nutrition has gained significant importance in the feed industry.
The use of organic acids in pig farming is not as a new technology: it was early found that piglets have difficulty in digesting diets containing vegetable proteins, mainly because of insufficient stomach acidification.
With the world’s population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and demand for more nutrient-dense, healthy nutrition increasing across geographies, it is estimated that aquaculture will need to increase production by 30–40 million tons by 2030 to keep up with the current rate of consumption.

Launched at the 22nd European Symposium in Poultry Nutrition (ESPN 2019), Balancius™ is now available in the EU.
At hatch, the chick is not adequately prepared to efficiently digest feed. This, plus the changing levels and composition of NSPs over the production period, necessitates an adjustment in enzyme supplementation.
The production of antibiotic-free (ABF) poultry is now a common trend worldwide, since growth promotant antibiotics (GPA) have been banned by some governments and because many consumers are increasingly avoiding food products that contain antibiotics.
The multiple essential functions of vitamin E in animal nutrition were reviewed in the article. Vitamin E is the most effective lipid-soluble chain-breaking antioxidant, it maintains the tissue’s structural integrity, supports neural growth and reproduction as well as modulating immunity.
The World Egg Day is a great opportunity to communicate the uniqueness of the humble egg, its unrivalled versatility as a protein source and its unbeatable sustainability credentials.
While gut health is an increasingly important and popular topic in animal nutrition, a clear scientific definition is still lacking (Kogut and Arsenault, 2016). A definition is needed in order to evaluate the effects of any nutritional intervention on animal health and performance.
Balancius™ is the first and only microbial muramidase that works in the intestine to improve feed efficiency and increase sustainable product yield.
Corn silage and corn grain inclusion rates in the daily ration of cows are on the rise. No other crop has such a high availability of supply, energy density and consistency.
PGN in the fragments of dead bacteria may constrain the performance of poultry, possibly by hindering gut functionality and lowering intestinal efficiencies.
Modern poultry breeds require diets that provide for rapid muscle development. Because of the extraordinary growth rates of today’s birds, even small deficits in amino acids can have severe consequences. Increasingly, we recognize that endogenous protein loss, or protein loss that is non-dietary in origin, plays an important role in this process. Endogenous protein loss refers to any protein, peptide, or amino acid of non-dietary origin that exits the terminal ileum.
The multiple essential functions of vitamin E in animal nutrition were reviewed in the article. Vitamin E is the most effective lipid-soluble chain-breaking antioxidant, it maintains the tissue’s structural integrity, supports neural growth and reproduction as well as modulating immunity.
As animal production becomes more and more sophisticated, previously unobserved factors that potentially hinder performance become a bigger issue. Intestinal commensal bacteria – bacteria that live together – fit this narrative.
Laying persistence, egg shell quality and gut health are still very hot topics in today’s layer production, where the cycle is getting longer and pressure on poultry producers to reduce the use of antibiotics is growing. But what does a healthy gut really mean in laying hens?
Exogenous phytases have been used commercially since the early 1990s as a successful tool for reducing the environmental impact of industrial livestock production and improving poultry and swine profitability (Selle & Ravindran, 2007).
In order for a yolk to present an attractive golden color, carotenoids have to be ingested in sufficient quantities, absorbed (via a healthy gut), not be used as antioxidants (low immunological challenges) and not be used as vitamin precursor (good vitamin status).
Vitamin E is essential for optimum functioning of many biological systems in animals. It has important functions in the muscular, nervous, circulatory, reproductive and immune system. This paper deals with the fundamental role of vitamin E in animal health, its outstanding effect on the immune system and on the prevention of mastitis in dairy cows.
Vitamin E is not synthesized by poultry and pigs and is therefore an essential micronutrient to consider in feed formulation. Being the nature’s most effective lipid-soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant, it protects cellular membranes from being attacked by lipid peroxyl radicals.
Glucose is central to energy metabolism in poultry and swine and is efficiently converted into ATP via the Citric Acid Cycle for use in various energy-demanding processes. The vast majority of glucose that is ingested by pigs and poultry is in the form of starch, usually from various cereal grains.
