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.
What makes a good mycotoxin binder?
As a preventive measure, incorporating mycotoxin detoxifying agents into animal feed is essential to reduce the detrimental effects of mycotoxins on animal health and growth. Choosing the right mycotoxin detoxifier can be challenging, but key factors to consider include broad spectrum binding activity, retention of mycotoxins, specificity to avoid nutrient binding, efficiency at low contamination levels.
Tackle negative effects of endotoxins during sows lactation period!
The quantity & quality of milk produced by sows during the pre-weaning period are crucial for the growth of healthy, robust and resilient piglets. Therefore, it is essential to eliminate negative factors, such as endotoxins, that hinder the availability of energy and nutrients. By focusing on eliminating endotoxins, you will improve sow lactation performance and achieve a more profitable swine operation.
Mastitis and LPS – Diet induced inflammation of the mammary gland
Mastitis is a costly disease in the dairy industry, often indicating weakened immune status in cows. Circulating gut-derived endotoxins(LPS) can trigger mastitis in dairy cattle, leading to costly udder infection and significant losses in milk quality & quantity, impacting the farm’s overall economic health. Therefore, managing animal nutrition with a good diet is crucial to limit the disease’s extent.
Never underestimate the importance of a healthy gut!
Your livestock’s gut may not seem exciting, but it holds immense power! These powerhouses affect everything from health to growth. A healthy gut is crucial for digesting feed, absorbing nutrients, protecting against pathogens, and maintaining a balanced microbial population to enhance animal welfare and performance. Support it well by feed additives that strengthen intestinal health and reduce antibiotic use.
