Reduction, and ultimately, the ban of antibiotics from animal feed, does not come without its challenges. An overall approach, including non-antibiotic in-feed specialties, can help cope with these challenges.

Technical support is one of our strengths. Last week we welcomed a group from Morocco at our HQ for a training to fully utilize the power of AveMix®. After three days of capturing lots of information, we enjoyed a short visit to Brussels with Manneken Pis and the statue of Jacques Brel as highlights of the day.

If you visited our website a few weeks ago, you must have seen that our website got a huge makeover. We have been working on it quite some time and it feels good to finally be able to share it with you. In the upcoming months we will continue working on making the...

What better time than having your retirement party on your birthday, right?! Our colleague Mr. Frank Bouchier was lucky enough to experience this on the 28th of February. Together with some colleagues, we organised a little party to celebrate Frank and to...

In this article Olivier Maigret refers to the feed for young piglets. Post weaning is a critical transition period for young piglets and the way this phase is handled will tremendously impact the growth of the future pigs. Trail results show that using the right combination of enzymes targeting specific raw materials allows cost saving and flexibility in feed formulation, while keeping similar nutrient and energy values.

The key to optimal animal production is a balanced gut. Performance pressure renders broilers vulnerable to infectious and/or non-infectious triggers. Present study reports on the combined effect of medium-chain glycerides (MCG) and phytogenics.

In this paper Kirsten De Keyser refers to a broiler field case where birds were fed AGP-free feed added with the concept of MCG plus phytogenics at different dosage rates for optimal gut health control.

Wishing you a happy and magical New Year!

Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the big challenges in the swine industry. For a long time, antibiotics have been strategy number one to deal with it. However, the use of antibiotics as prophylaxis and treatment is forbidden or compromised due to the bacteria’s resistance against many drugs. Hence, the feed additive industry has been developing products with antimicrobial function. Among these, medium-chain glycerides and essential oils are the most promising that have proven consistent efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. Read the full article now and discover why AveMix® Plus is the perfect solution.

Dr. Hans Christoph Wagner wrote an article for the November issue of Milling and Grain Magazine, that will lead you through the NSPs subject, transmitting practical feed formulation tools to reduce poultry feed costs.
Starting with analyzing substrate fingerprints to fulfill enzyme lock-key model principles and categorizing negative NSP-fiber effects in layer feed ingredients. All to fulfill multiple feeding requirements using multi-enzyme concepts.

The number of regions that ban AGP’s is continuously expanding. This leaves the poultry producers with many questions about future day-to-day practice. In this article for PoultryWorld.net Leni Kuterna talks about AveMix Essence, a selected phytogenic blend for optimal animal health and performance support, as a proven and highly effective alternative approach without giving in on performance.
