Pet15 Years of AviPlus®: A Concept That Changed Animal Nutrition
Fifteen years ago, the first EFSA authorization of AviPlus® marked the beginning of something entirely new.
Swine
The evolution of swine nutrition demands advanced swine feed additives focused on improving performance and health. The withdrawal of antibiotic growth promoters and new regulations concerning pharmacological zinc oxide have shifted the focus towards maintaining a resilient gastrointestinal ecosystem. This requires precise interventions that support gut integrity and function, ensuring the quality and efficiency of production.
Addressing post-weaning enteric stress is paramount. One strategy involves optimizing the use of zinc. Zincoret® S is a microencapsulated Zinc oxide supplement for swine feeds that provides targeted intestinal release, achieving efficacy comparable to high doses but with significantly lower inclusion, reducing environmental excretion.
All the products
The EU banned therapeutic zinc oxide in piglets due to environmental risks. High ZnO levels pollute soil and water via manure. The ban, active since 2022, reflects a wider move to reduce heavy metals and promote sustainable pig farming. AviPower®5 offers a botanical-based solution, leveraging a microencapsulated blend to support piglets during challenges from E. coli and its endotoxins, thereby sustaining growth and gut integrity.
For sustained performance, synergistic solutions are key. AviPlus® S combines organic acids and botanicals in a single microencapsulated particle to enhance feed efficiency and weight gain across all production stages. These advanced tools, along with foundational acidifiers like Tetracid® S and other solutions like pig probiotics , form a comprehensive toolkit for managing the swine diet.
Beyond performance, on-farm foodborne pathogen management is crucial for the entire food chain. AviP®-protect S utilizes microencapsulated sorbic acid, synergized with botanicals to control foodborne pathogens. This slow-release formulation targets the whole intestine up to the distal tractsintestine, reducing pathogen shedding and contributing to the preservation of final product safety.
The modern approach to swine nutrition
The modern approach to swine nutrition relies on technologically advanced delivery systems. Microencapsulation ensures that active ingredients (whether botanicals, organic acids, or optimized minerals) are protected and delivered precisely where needed. This allows for a targeted, efficient, and sustainable strategy for improving the health and performance of swine herds.
