ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE August 2025 47 thousands of virtual trials, simulating how a newly designed additive will perform under different conditions (e.g., varying water temperatures, diets, or disease pressures) before ever entering a live animal study. This will change the form of product validation, allowing for extensive in silico testing to refine dosage, timing, and formulation. The impact will be a massive reduction in the cost, time, and number of animals required for R&D, leading to a much faster path from concept to commercial product. CONCLUSION The journey from a plant in a field to a powerful, health-promoting feed additive will be fundamentally transformed by technology, with Artificial Intelligence leading the charge. The once-overwhelming challenge of navigating nature's vast chemical library will become a task of precision and prediction. AI-driven discovery, combined with high-throughput screening and ‘omics’ technologies, will provide an unprecedented understanding of how phytogenics function at a molecular level. This will enable the development of targeted, synergistic, and predictive natural solutions. As a result, phytogenics will evolve from a niche alternative into a cornerstone of modern aquaculture nutrition, heralding a new, AI-powered era of sustainability, efficiency, and profitability for the industry worldwide. By leveraging recent advances in artificial intelligence, ISR-BIO has developed the industry’s first dedicated AI platform for predictive screening in the field of phytogenic feed additives. This platform is designed not only to facilitate the discovery of novel bioactive compounds but also to identify new applications for existing additives across different aquaculture species—revealing functional potentials that may have previously gone unrecognized. Through the integration of this AI-driven approach, research teams can significantly reduce development timelines, expand discovery throughput, and allocate resources more efficiently by minimizing investment in low-probability candidates. This represents a shift from exploratory, trial-based research models toward a more strategic, data-informed R&D framework.
