Bentonite and competing clays in animal feeds
They should not be treated as interchangeable clays with slightly different origin stories, but minerals that get lumped together far too easily.
Feed Ingredient Insights
Bentonite’s many distinct functional properties
This feed ingredient may be used as a binder, as an anticaking agent, to help improve pellet quality or as part of a strategy to manage mycotoxin risk.

How plant compounds support poultry health
Many of the same compounds that help plants cope with stress can also help birds manage the challenges of modern production.
Feed Ingredient Insights
Secondary metabolites in poultry nutrition
The more we understand the plant biology behind these compounds, the better equipped we are to design diets that work with plant chemistry rather than against it.
Feed Ingredient Insights
Making a case for feed-optimized crop genetics
What if we intentionally bred crops with poultry nutrition in mind?
Feed Ingredient Insights
Hidden variability in poultry feeds from saved hybrid seed
Saving grain seed from a previous harvest is sometimes viewed as a reasonable response to economic pressure, but this choice introduces variability that deserves careful consideration.
Feed Ingredient Insights
Discounted grains, hidden costs: the risk of damaged kernels
Kernel damage fundamentally changes grain behavior in storage — and the associated risks are often underestimated.

How to recognize cereal mycotoxins in storage
Recognizing early warning signs in stored cereals can help limit exposure, prevent further toxin development and support effective risk management.
Feed Ingredient Insights
The bird’s gut only reacts to nutrients, not names on ingredient labels
Formulating by nutrient function — not ingredient identity — reduces cost, variability and risk.

Linseed in piglet nutrition: a gentle start with omega power
For piglets, a touch of linseed can mean smoother digestion, calmer weaning and healthier growth.
Feed Ingredient Insights
Linseed in poultry feeds for health and performance
While it brings nutritional advantages, linseed also presents formulation and handling challenges that limit how far it can go in commercial rations.
