Improving animal performance through science-based solutions

Managing Invisible Stressors That Erode Performance

Modern animal production faces hidden challenges, including mycotoxins, microbiome disturbances, chronic inflammation and respiratory stress. Even at low concentrations, mycotoxins can disrupt microbial balance, damage intestinal integrity, reduce nutrient digestibility and increase susceptibility to pathogens. MYCORAID uses adsorption, bioremediation, and liver and immune support to help maintain digestion and feed efficiency. Across multiple independent poultry studies conducted in Europe, Asia, and South America, MYCORAID improved productive performance and FCR, liver health and function, gut ecosystem stability, egg production and eggshell quality, and physiological resilience as reflected by improved blood and oxidative-stress biomarkers in birds exposed to a range of mycotoxin challenges (Grubješić et al., 2025; Stefanović et al., 2023; Tsiouris et al., 2021).

Dust, ammonia and environmental fluctuations can compromise respiratory integrity and increase oxidative stress. LIQUIHYPE, a blend of essential oils, lysozyme and vitamins, supports respiratory health and mucosal integrity, helping birds maintain resilience and performance.

Creating an optimal gut environment

Efficient nutrient utilization depends on a digestive system that can adapt to changing conditions. AGROMED ROI, based on bioactive wood lignans, supports key physiological functions associated with intestinal health, helping maintain digestive efficiency and performance (Heckmann et al., 2026; Yongyuth et al., 2025). Throughout production systems and phases, gut functionality drives growth, feed efficiency, immune competence and productivity. Microbiome imbalances can disrupt intestinal integrity, reduce nutrient utilization and increase pathogen pressure.

Adequate dietary fiber is essential for microbiome management. OPTICELL, A&P Nutrition's eubiotic lignocellulose, combines inert and slowly fermentable fiber fractions that support beneficial microbial fermentation and short-chain fatty acid production, helping maintain microbiome balance, digestive functionality and metabolic stability (Odakura et al., 2023).

Microbiome balance is particularly important when pigs enter the grower phase and face increased pathogen exposure. Imbalances can favor Lawsonia intracellularis, Brachyspira hyodysenteriae and Clostridium spp., compromising epithelial integrity, triggering inflammation, and reducing nutrient utilization and feed efficiency. DYSGUARD-S, a standardized essential oil blend, helps stabilize the microbiome and supports epithelial health. An essential oil blend showed efficacy comparable to tiamulin/lincomycin in challenged pigs, reducing pathogen levels and inflammation while preserving villus-crypt architecture (Wu et al., 2025). These findings support its potential in reduced-antibiotic production.

Turning Knowledge into Better Decisions

A&P Nutrition combines technical expertise with practical digital tools. OPTIfi PLUS, its web-based calculator, helps nutritionists and farm managers optimize dietary fiber composition based on species-specific requirements. MycoRange, a mobile mycotoxin risk assessment calculator, helps users evaluate risks and translate laboratory results into practical strategies. Together, these tools support animal health, performance and profitability.

One Mission, Multiple Solutions

A&P Nutrition believes sustainable performance depends on managing factors that limit animals from reaching their potential. By combining species-specific expertise, scientifically validated solutions and field experience, the company helps producers address hidden barriers before they become costly challenges. This reflects its mission: improving animal performance.
