Bacterial threats in poultry production: A daily challenge
Bacterial infections represent one of the most persistent challenges in monogastric production, affecting both animal health and food safety (Mak et al., 2022).
Breaking down phytate: Insights and remaining challenges in poultry nutrition
Phytic acid (InsP6) and its salts (phytate), are natural compounds found in many plant-based ingredients, and it’s a major storage form of phosphorus in plant seeds and grains.
Characteristics of organic and inorganic phosphorus (P) sources in farm animals’ feed
Phosphorus (P) in animal feed originates from 3 different sources: organic sources of animal origin, organic sources of plant origin and inorganic sources known as Inorganic Feed Phosphates (IFP).
Hypocalcemia in dairy cows: how to manage the risk?

This sudden imbalance can lead to hypocalcemia, a condition that silently undermines animal health, fertility, and farm profitability. With costs reaching up to 300 €/cow, managing calcium levels becomes a strategic priority for breeders.
