Fifteen years ago, the first EFSA authorization of AviPlus® marked the beginning of something entirely new. It was not just a product approval, but the arrival of a new mindset: one that transformed animal nutrition and our understanding of performance, resilience, and gut health across species.
AviPlus® was born with a simple but powerful intuition: the performance of an animal is not driven by a single factor, but by the complex interaction between intestinal integrity, microbial balance, immunity, nutrient absorption, and the ability to cope with day-to-day farm stressors. And what set AviPlus® apart was the way it combined botanicals and organic acids, shielding them in a lipid matrix so they could reach the intestine intact and work in synergy exactly where needed.
What started with weaned piglets quickly expanded to poultry, demonstrating clear improvements in feed efficiency, growth consistency, gut morphology and immune modulation. The same concept was then engineered for ruminants, where protecting bioactive compounds from rumen degradation proved essential to support milk performance, especially under stressful conditions. More recently, the product line evolved again for aquaculture (fish and shrimps) where AviPlus® has consistently shown its ability to reinforce intestinal integrity, enhance immune readiness, improve growth, and reduce mortality in challenging environments.
Different species, different physiologies, different farming systems, but always the same core idea delivering measurable results. From commercial farms to research centers, from Europe to the Americas and Asia, AviPlus® has taught us that intestinal balance is a universal driver of performance, and that resilience is a biological resource that can be supported and translated into touchable outcomes for producers, from the inside-out.
After decades of on-farm research and successful practical use around the world, one thing is clear: AviPlus® was ahead of its time, because it was designed around biological principles that sit at the core of modern animal production. And long before these concepts became industry priorities, AviPlus® was already putting them into practice, quietly shaping a new way of supporting performance from within.
These pillars are now also the foundation of sustainability and antibiotic-reduction strategies worldwide, making AviPlus® a fundamental tool to achieve performance and environmental responsibility.
And the most exciting part? We are still discovering new applications, new mechanisms, and new settings where the concept proves effective, as also demonstrated by our recent publication regarding AviPlus® benefits in gilthead seabream. What began with an EFSA approval has become a global platform of innovation, and its evolution is far from over.
Fifteen years later, AviPlus® isn’t a legacy.
It’s a vision that keeps moving forward.
And the best is yet to come.
