PetEnhancing nutrients use under diet reformulation: linking gut health and performance through a functional feed additive in broilers
Bonetti et al., (2026). 9th International Conference on Poultry Intestinal Health (ICPIH)
For performance enhancing
Modern poultry production demands exceptional efficiency and animal well-being, driving continuous advancements in nutritional strategies. This ongoing pursuit of enhanced performance and the growing consumer preference for sustainable, antibiotic-free practices underscore the vital role of sophisticated feed additives.
Optimizing gut health is fundamental to overall poultry performance. A robust gastrointestinal tract maintains strong intestinal integrity and ensures efficient nutrient absorption. Feed additives contribute to these outcomes by modulating microflora, managing inflammation. These interventions address complex physiological challenges, moving beyond simple nutrient supplementation to enhance overall animal resilience.
All the products
A significant advancement in feed additive technology is microencapsulation. This delivery system involves spreading active ingredients, such as botanicals and organic acids, within a protective lipid matrix. This protective layer prevents premature degradation in the gastric environment, ensuring the compounds are delivered intact and released slowly throughout the intestinal tract where they exert their full effect. This precise delivery maximizes bioavailability.
Vetagro’s products exemplify this targeted approach. AviPower®2, a microencapsulated blend of botanicals, supports gut integrity and reduces intestinal lesions in the presence of coccidia, demonstrating improved feed efficiency and compatibility with conventional anticoccidial programs. This has led to quantifiable improvements in Feed Conversion Ratio and faster growth rates in commercial settings. AviPlus®P, the first botanical-based zootechnical feed additive approved in the EU, combines microencapsulated botanicals and organic acids to enhance feed efficiency and gut health by improving integrity, modulating microflora and reducing inflammation. Galliacid®S, a microencapsulated blend of organic acids and botanicals, improves growth performance through effective microbial activity modulation.
Cultivating Optimal Poultry Outcomes
The strategic application of advanced feed additives, particularly those leveraging microencapsulation, provides a sophisticated pathway to superior poultry performance. These scientifically validated solutions contribute to enhanced feed utilization, robust gut health, and greater resilience against common challenges. By integrating such targeted interventions, poultry producers can achieve significant gains in productivity and flock well-being, aligning with both economic objectives and the evolving demands for sustainable production.
