Gut health
The foundation of profitable, resilient farming.
Gut health describes a balanced gut microbiome, a strong intestinal barrier and a well-regulated immune system. Together they let animals digest feed efficiently, resist disease and convert nutrients into growth, milk, eggs or meat.
More than 60%
of total production costs in pig and poultry production is feed, so every point of feed efficiency counts.

veterinary antibiotics were sold in the EU in 2022 than in 2011, the lowest level ever reported. Healthy guts are how production keeps up.
European Medicines Agency, ESVAC report (2023)Why gut health matters
Intensive production, diet changes, heat, transport and disease pressure can disrupt the gut ecosystem and weaken the intestinal barrier (“leaky gut”). This triggers inflammation, reduces nutrient absorption and makes animals more vulnerable to enteric and systemic infections.
For the farmer that means slower growth, poorer feed efficiency, more treatments and lower product quality.
How we support gut health, naturally
Our all-natural gut health portfolio is designed to stabilise the microbiome, strengthen the gut barrier and support immunity in livestock and aquaculture.
Fitogeniki
Plant-derived compounds that help modulate the microbiota, support digestive enzyme activity and reduce oxidative and inflammatory stress in the gut.
Pre- and probiotics
Targeted microbes and fibres that promote beneficial bacteria, improve gut morphology and strengthen colonisation resistance against pathogens.
Vitamin blends
Essential micronutrients that support mucosal integrity, antioxidant defences and immune function in challenging periods such as weaning, heat and high production.
What farmers gain
When gut health is optimised with these natural tools, farmers typically see:
-
Better growth and feed efficiency
More weight gain, milk, eggs or fillet per tonne of feed, and a lower feed conversion ratio.
-
Fewer gut disorders and treatments
Less diarrhoea, enteritis and secondary infections, and lower antibiotic use and costs.
-
Stronger immunity and resilience
A better response to vaccines and challenges, and better performance under heat, weaning or stocking stress.
-
Higher and more consistent production
Improved uniformity, survival and yield across the flock, herd or pond, with fewer setbacks from disease outbreaks.
-
Improved product quality and food safety
Lower pathogen shedding and contamination risk, and better meat, milk, egg or fillet quality where relevant.
By targeting the root causes of dysbiosis and barrier damage with natural, species-appropriate solutions, our products help you turn gut health into measurable return: faster turnover, lower mortality and treatments, and more predictable, profitable production.
