    The Key to a Healthy Start in Animal Nutrition

    In animal farming, each production cycle is defined by a beginning. The most critical stage of this beginning is the weaning period. The feeding pattern, intestinal health, and immune system of young animals are reshaped during this period. However, this process can also bring problems such as stress, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and growth stagnation. In this issue, we address the theme of “Weaning Period and Young Animal Nutrition”, examining potential health problems encountered during the weaning period, feeding strategies to prevent these problems, and...
    FFAR catalyzes research partnerships to amplify impact

    FFAR catalyzes research partnerships to amplify impact

    Livestock and poultry producers face unprecedented pressure to increase productivity and profitability, while providing safe, affordable protein, adapting to consumer preferences and protecting animal health. They also confront complex, interconnected challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, manure management and disease threats like H5N1 and New World screwworm. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERS GENERATE ACTIONABLE SOLUTIONS Through research-based, cross-sector partnerships, the...

    It is not just about organic acids

    Organic acids fulfill multiple roles in weaning diets for piglets. As acidifiers, they must be used in conjunction with a good knowledge of the intrinsic properties (ABC-4) of the other feed ingredients. Some of these have a limited effect...

    Combatting Calf Diarrhea: A cornerstone of dairy success

    It is critical for every farm to have an effective strategy to prevent and treat calf diarrhea, as quick action should be taken when diarrhea occurs. The priority is to minimize the calf’s fluid loss to prevent dehydration and...

    Managing ABC-4: A key factor in piglet nutrition

    The extensive use of both antibiotics and ZnO has raised significant concerns, as both can contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, while high ZnO inclusion levels also lead to excessive mineral excretion and environmental pollution. These limitations have...

    Enhancing performance without AGPs or ZnO: A smarter gut strategy

    Shifts in the gut microbiota also can disrupt the microbial balance in piglets’ digestive tracts, leading to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. To address this imbalance, industry practices have traditionally relied on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) and high-dose zinc...

    Raspberry flavour benefits: A fruity solution for piglet weaning success

    Red fruit flavours, with their fruity and appealing taste profile, have shown promising effects on improving feed intake in piglets. This article explores the benefits and underlying mechanisms of incorporating a raspberry flavour into piglets’ diets. Based on recent...

    Supporting calf gut health to prevent scour

    HoloRuminant unites scientists, industry and farmers to uncover how ruminant-associated microbiomes interact with their host across early life, weaning, diet shifts and lactation. By combining genomics, metabolomics and other multi-omics tools, the project links microbial connectivity and heritability to...

    Rethinking transition cow management

    Up to 75% of cow diseases occur within the first month post-calving — making this phase critical for long-term health and productivity. While transition management traditionally focused on metabolic disorders such as ketosis and hypocalcemia, new research invites us...

    Polyphenols on the early weaning of piglets

    Producers try to overcome the low voluntary intake immediately after weaning by enhancing feed palatability. While this strategy may effectively increase feed consumption, the status of the intestine prevents an effective nutrient digestion, and contribute to exacerbating oxidative stress....

    Stabilization of sensitive poultry processed animal proteins

    Poultry Processed Animal Proteins (PAP) and fat are mainly used in pet food recipes for their nutritional value. However, their high linoleic acid content makes them particularly vulnerable to oxidation. To counteract this, the rendering industry applies antioxidant solutions...

    Not all encapsulated nutrients are created equal

    Encapsulated nutrients can provide consistent, reliable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional feedstuffs. However, how well these products perform in terms of durability, rumen stability, intestinal release and, ultimately, cow performance vary depending on the encapsulation and manufacturing process utilized....

    Enhancing competitiveness in pig production

    Enhancing the competitiveness of the swine sector requires the optimization of farming practices. Precision nutrition enables producers to align nutrient supply with the animals’ actual requirements, while effective stress management promotes welfare and performance. Combined, these approaches contribute to...

    Natural innovation for smarter coccidiosis control

    The poultry industry stands at a turning point where disease control meets sustainability. As producers strive to maintain performance without relying solely on synthetic drugs, the search for validated natural solutions has gained momentum. By integrating scientific precision with...

    Nutrition as a key tool for lowering E. coli risk in poultry

    Typical symptoms of pathogenic E. coli infection include diarrhea, omphalitis, pericarditis, aerosacculitis, as well as infected skin lesions (cellulitis) in broilers or genital tract infections in breeders, occurring by contiguity. These clinical signs not only impair bird welfare but...

    Role of spices in optimizing growth and feed efficiency in broiler chickens

    Spices are widely used for culinary reasons; however, due to their high concentration in bioactive compounds with several beneficial effects may also be used as functional additives with a positive impact on poultry performance. The synergistic combination of spices...

    Hidden threats in the henhouse: How controlling endotoxins keeps breeders productive

    Once inside, endotoxins trigger inflammation and disrupt vital metabolic functions. In laying hens, this may impair nutrient absorption and calcium utilisation and cause systemic stress. The visible effects include weaker eggshells, smaller eggs and higher mortality. Because endotoxins remain...

    Rumen stabilization without formaldehyde: Hydrothermal processes for stable proteins

    High-yielding cows and beef cattle require large amounts of high-quality protein. Since the microbial proteins in the rumen are not enough to meet this demand, rumen-protected components must be...

    Data-driven decisions: Insights from Dairy Data Warehouse

    Big data and AI will underpin the next era of dairy farming enabling faster, smarter decisions around herd health, feeding, and productivity. But none of this works without high-quality,...

    Essential Oils in Animal Feed and the Global Market Status

    Essential oils stand out as natural additives in feed that enhance flavor and performance as well as support health. According to research companies, the global feed essential oils market...
