Feed Additives

Why is everyone confused about feed additives?

Today, most additives are marketed with several claims. Even enzymes that have absolutely nothing to do directly with gastrointestinal health are often marketed with indirect (albeit, true) health claims. Many nutritionists and producers use many additives to compensate for the low-health status of certain farms. This is counterproductive, as the real problem is not resolved, but rather more money is spent on the wrong cause.

Additives that make sense sell better

Every day, suppliers from companies selling or marketing additives visit nutritionists at local feed companies, veterinarians responsible for nutrition in pig farms, and pig producers. Their aim is to convince that their product is beneficial for our animals and our profit line, and superior to competing products of similar nature. But, given the plethora of similar additives, selecting the right one is a difficult task, even for trained nutritionists, who often prefer not to do anything if they don’t receive a clear message they can trust.
