⚠️ Mycotoxins in feed: More than a feed quality issue
Most producers associate mycotoxins with reduced feed intake or liver damage. But their impact goes much further.

Mycotoxins can interfere with calcium and phosphorus metabolism by affecting gut integrity, nutrient absorption, liver function and vitamin D activation.

The consequences may include:
❌ impaired immune function
❌ reduced reproductive performance
❌ weaker bones and skeletal integrity
❌ lower productivity and performance

With increasing weather-related challenges and changing climate conditions, mycotoxins remain a growing risk for animal production worldwide.

👉 Understanding the hidden effects of mycotoxins is the first step toward protecting animal health and performance.
Read the full article on our website and learn how mycotoxins can affect metabolism and what management strategies can help reduce their impact.

Heat stress: what we have learned before summer

Throughout this campaign, one conclusion is clear: heat stress is not an environmental issue - it is a physiological one.

Heat compromises gut efficiency, increases inflammation, limits metabolism and ultimately reduces performance.

Protecting intestinal resilience and ensuring nutrient usability are the two key nutritional pillars to prepare systems before temperatures rise.

The right preparation today prevents losses tomorrow.

Phytobiotics and its experts have over 25 years of experience in animal nutrition and know how to provide your animals with the best possible care, even in stressful situations. Feel free to reach out. Our experts are here to help you, no matter where you are in the world.

Online Seminar: Causes of Inflammation and Mortality in Broilers
Understanding Inflammation. Reducing Mortality. Improving Performance.

What are the key drivers behind inflammation and mortality in broilers — and how can science help address these challenges?

Join our upcoming Phytobiotics Online Seminar: Causes of Inflammation and Mortality in Broilers on Friday, May 29.

This session will bring together expert insights and high-impact research results on current challenges in poultry production, including new scientific findings on the performance and benefits of Sangrovit® in broilers.

The seminar will feature contributions from:

Rafael Hermes – causes of inflammation and economic impact for the industry and results from a recent German broiler trial and the economic return of using Sangrovit® in feed
José Sorbara, University of Georgia – how broiler mortality has changed in the USA over the past 15 years
Dimitri Freitas – meta-analysis on the effects of Sangrovit® on poultry mortality

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the results directly with the presenters.

Two sessions will be available to accommodate different regions.

Interested in joining? Please contact your responsible regional Sales Manager for registration details.

Under heat stress, performance losses are often linked to one common factor:
impaired mineral metabolism.

Not because minerals are missing.
But because the animal cannot use them efficiently.

As temperatures rise:
– feed intake decreases
– respiration rate increases
– acid–base balance is altered

👉 This directly affects how minerals are absorbed, regulated and utilized.

Calcium metabolism, in particular, becomes unstable:
❌ lower absorption efficiency
❌ fluctuating blood levels
❌ reduced availability for key physiological functions

👉 The consequences vary by species, but the pattern is consistent:
– reduced productivity
– lower feed efficiency
– compromised structural integrity (bone, tissue, performance stability)

Increasing mineral levels in the diet is often not enough.

👉 The real limitation is metabolic activation and utilization.

This is where a different nutritional approach is required.

Active D provides vitamin D in its already active form:
– immediately available at intestinal level
– independent of metabolic conversion
– effective even when metabolism is compromised

In addition, its formulation supports:
– liver and kidney function
– immune response
– resilience to stress-related hormonal effects

Key takeaway:
Under heat stress, performance depends on keeping mineral metabolism functional — not just increasing supply.

From innovation to validation – closing the loop

Over the past days, we have introduced our new patent related to Sangrovit®.
To conclude this series, we turn our focus to what truly matters for the feed and meat value chain: practical insights from feeding trials.

Field and Institute trials indicate that the use of isoquinoline alkaloids from Sangrovit® is associated with relevant carcass quality parameters – aspects that play an important role in marketing potential, value creation and process efficiency.

One recent trial highlights how quality oriented feeding strategies can address
the carcass value potential within modern livestock production systems.

Thank you for following our patent series.
We look forward to continuing the dialogue on science based feed solutions for today’s livestock production.

Today, our colleagues attended the Agrarkarrieretag in Bingen, engaging with motivated students and young professionals and giving them insights into our company and the opportunities we offer.

Events like this were an important part of our commitment to discovering new talent, building early connections, and inspiring the next generation to grow with us. We truly valued the open exchange with students who shared our passion for agriculture and animal nutrition.

A special highlight: Anne and Verena, both graduates of TH Bingen, shared their personal career journeys and experiences, showing how academic education and professional development can go hand in hand.

Thank you to everyone who visited us today – we were excited to connect and look forward to shaping the future together.

Performance losses under heat stress do not start at the feeder.
They start in the intestine.

As temperatures rise, blood flow is redirected to dissipate heat.
👉 The gut receives less oxygen and fewer nutrients.

The consequence:
– impaired gut barrier function
– reduced nutrient absorption
– higher inflammatory pressure

👉 Even with the same diet, performance drops.

It’s not the formulation that fails. It’s the animal’s ability to use it.

This is where hidden losses begin:
❌ poorer feed conversion
❌ lower growth or production
❌ higher variability between animals

👉 The gut becomes the first limiting factor under heat stress.

The intestinal function is compromised and performance cannot be sustained, regardless of diet quality.
