Inflammations
Oxidative stress is a complicated subject that can be hard to grasp. In a nutshell, it is caused by the formation of free radicals, resulting from dietary stress in the form of low quality feed, environmental stress and social stress. When the free radicals are not controlled, they cause a chain reaction that leads to increased gut inflammation and, eventually, cell death.

Reducing antibiotic use in young animals
Studies show that many instances of diarrhea in young animals are caused by nutritional shortcomings. This could be prevented by better selection and composition of the ingredients in the diet – with no use of antibiotics at all. Faced with consumer and regulatory pressure, EU producers are now aiming to claim ‘no antibiotics ever’. Outside the EU, various definitions of antibiotic-free (ABF) production are in circulation.![]()

Skip the weaning dip with the right calf pre-starter
Calf producers face a major hurdle when introducing milk-fed calves to their first solid feed. The challenge is the immature state of the young animals’ gastrointestinal (GI) system - and the risk of a weaning dip that brings growth to a temporary halt. Fortunately, by choosing the right pre-starter feed, it is a risk producers can either reduce or avoid.![]()

Improve performance by improving the oxidative status
Oxidative stress emerges when an imbalance between the cell damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS), e.g. free radicals, exceed the antioxidant capacity of the animal. During weaning, piglets are inevitably developing oxidative stress conditions as environmental surroundings, diets and litter sizes are changing, while the young piglet is undergoing a rapid physiological transformation.![]()
