Liver health

The metabolic engine behind efficient, resilient production.

A healthy liver is essential for efficient, resilient production. The liver is the central organ for metabolism and detoxification. It regulates energy use, protein synthesis and fat transport, makes bile and supports immune defence. That directly affects growth, milk and egg output, feed efficiency and disease resistance in livestock and aquaculture.

of the dry matter of an affected liver can be fat, and up to 70% in severe cases.

Why liver health matters

Modern high-performance diets, rapid growth and metabolic load can overload the liver, leading to fat accumulation (fatty liver), oxidative stress and inflammation.

Liver dysfunction reduces feed intake and nutrient utilisation, weakens immunity, and increases susceptibility to secondary infections and mortality. That costs farmers in slower gains, lower production, poorer product quality and higher treatments.

How we support liver health, naturally

Our all-natural portfolio supports the gut–liver axis by improving gut barrier function, reducing the endotoxin and inflammatory load on the liver, enhancing antioxidant defences and promoting efficient fat and nutrient metabolism.

Fitogeniki

Plant-derived bioactives with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions that help protect liver cells, support bile flow and improve metabolic efficiency under high-production or challenge conditions.

Pre- and probiotics

Beneficial microbes and fibres that stabilise the gut microbiome, strengthen intestinal barrier integrity and lower gut-derived inflammatory signals to the liver, supporting healthier lipid metabolism and liver function.

Vitamin blends

Antioxidant and metabolic vitamins (such as E and supporting micronutrients) that reduce oxidative damage in liver tissue, support fat transport and bile function, and help maintain intake and production during metabolic stress.

What farmers gain

When liver health is optimised with these natural tools, farmers typically see:

  • Better feed efficiency and growth

    Improved nutrient metabolism and bile function support higher average daily gain and a lower feed conversion ratio across species.

  • Higher and more stable production

    More consistent milk, egg and meat output, with fewer drops linked to fatty liver, metabolic overload or gut–liver inflammation.

  • Lower mortality and treatments

    Fewer liver-related deaths and secondary infections, and better resilience during peak production or dietary transitions.

  • Improved product quality

    Better eggshell quality in layers and healthier fillets and exoskeletons in aquaculture, as liver function underpins fat-soluble vitamin status and mineral metabolism.

  • More predictable profitability

    Fewer metabolic setbacks, more uniform batches and reduced losses from liver disorders and associated diseases.

By supporting the gut–liver axis with natural, species-appropriate solutions, our products help you turn liver health into measurable return: stronger metabolism, fewer losses and more consistent, high-quality production.
