dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has announced the launch of GutServ® Biotix, an innovative postbiotic solution designed to support piglet health, resilience and performance.

Maintaining piglet health and performance is one of the biggest challenges in modern pig production, especially during critical stress periods such as weaning. Strengthening gut integrity and functionality, dsm-firmenich highlights GutServ® Biotix as helping minimize early-life setbacks and allowing piglets to thrive efficiently and establish a solid foundation for healthy growth and sustained performance.

Backed by robust scientific validation and multiple trials across geographies, GutServ® Biotix empowers producers to build stronger pigs from the gut up—confidently and consistently, with a proven return on investment ranging from 5:1 to 10:1, it offers consistent value across diverse production systems, according to the announcement.

GutServ® Biotix’s compatibility with all feed types and processing conditions makes it a flexible solution for modern operations. The formulation is heat-tolerant, stable, and easy to handle, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows.

Dr. Philippe Tacon, Global Product Manager Microbials at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, says, “GutServ® Biotix works through four synergistic actions that directly support gut health and immune performance. Whether piglets are under stress from weaning, dietary shifts or environmental challenges, our solution helps sustain performance by reinforcing gut functionalities and supports a balanced microbiome. GutServ® Biotix is a testament to our commitment to help the swine industry increase productivity, improve welfare, reduce environmental impact, and enhance product quality.”

dsm-firmenich points to the new postbiotic solution as help producers move from reactive management to proactive care, building stronger pigs from the gut up. By nurturing intestinal health early, GutServ® Biotix not only supports animal well-being but also helps producers meet their business goals with confidence.
