NEWS 22 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2025 One of the world’s largest innovators of natural botanical extract ingredients and solutions, Layn Natural Ingredients announced the launch of a line of feed additives for poultry and swine production that leverages the advantages of water delivery for polyphenols. These cutting-edge solutions were showcased during IPPE 2025. The introduction of water-soluble polyphenol additives marks a significant advancement in production animal nutrition, Layn explains. By administering polyphenols via drinking water, farm managers gain full control over their use, allowing precise adjustments to type, dosage, and treatment duration to address specific animal needs. This method offers several advantages over traditional feed supplementation: • Immediate Availability: Polyphenols delivered in drinking water are accessible to animals almost instantly, ensuring rapid efficacy. • Reduced Administration Delays: Unlike feedbased supplementation, which requires feed mill processing and delivery, water delivery eliminates storage and logistical complications. • Mitigation for Heat-Stressed Animals: Animals experiencing heat stress may reduce feed intake but consistently consume drinking water, making water-soluble polyphenols an ideal solution for maintaining health and productivity. “Water delivery of polyphenols represents a game-changing approach in production animal nutrition,” says Mary Joe Fernandez, Global VP of Sales and Business Development at Layn Natural Ingredients. “This innovation not only simplifies the supplementation process but also ensures animals receive critical nutrients when they need them most.” Read more>> Layn showcases its water-soluble polyphenol feed additives One of the leaders in intelligent nutrition, Novus International, Inc. shared its analysis of soybean meal quality in the United States and research on copper sources in broilers during the International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF), held in conjunction with IPPE 2025. IPPE took place on January 2830, and IPSF occurred on January 27-28, 2025 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. “Soybeans are the primary source of protein and amino acids in poultry diets. The quality of soybean meal is extremely important to the industry. Novus has been studying soybean meal quality for years with this new analysis looking at the activity of trypsin inhibitors in soybean meal produced in the U.S.,” says Mark Moran, Novus Commercial Director for North America. Trypsin inhibitor (TI) is an anti-nutritional factor found in soybean meal that can affect amino acid digestibility, ultimately impacting broiler performance. “We’ve been using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) technology for years to better understand the level of TI activity in soybean meal from around the world,” explains Frances Yan, Ph.D., Senior Manager of Global Poultry Research at Novus. “This study looks at samples from the U.S. from 2021-2024 to get a clearer picture of what poultry producers are feeding their broilers.” Read more>> Novus shares analysis of US soybean meal quality
