NEWS 32 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2026 From variability at the feed mill to processing-level outcomes, five new studies from Novus and its research partners were presented at the 2026 International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF). The research demonstrated how targeted enzyme and trace mineral strategies support nutrient utilization, bird performance, and carcass and egg quality. Together, the research offered a comprehensive look at how intelligent nutrition can translate into measurable value across the poultry production chain. “Producers are under constant pressure to get the most out of every ingredient they feed,” said Rasha Qudsieh, Global Enzymes and Microbials Senior Manager at Novus. “This research shows how thoughtful nutrition strategies, from enzyme selection to trace mineral source, can support how birds use nutrients across the entire production cycle, starting with feed formulation and extending through carcass and egg quality.” The presentations at the 2026 IPSF were as follows: • Zn-Methionine Hydroxy-Analogue Chelate supplementation improves carcass quality in broilers under commercial conditions. Presented by Ana Clara Polo Ferreira of Bello Alimentos • Dietary protease mitigates the negative effects of trypsin inhibitors on digestive function and gut health in broilers beyond super-dose phytase – Jejunum and pancreas transcriptomics. Presented by Luis Romero of Biofractal • Gene expression explained the benefits of HMTBa-Chelates of Zinc and Manganese under different copper programs on broiler performance. Presented by Hugo Romero of Novus • Dietary protease mitigates the negative effects of trypsin inhibitors on digestive function and gut health in broilers beyond super-dose phytase – Performance. Presented by Rasha Qudsieh of Novus • Effects of inorganic, HMTBa-chelated trace mineral, or blended sources of zinc, copper, and manganese on the egg quality of laying hens.
