Igusol-Produmix: The liver as a metabolic axis in poultry production: the importance of standardized phytogenics

Igusol-Produmix

The liver is a key metabolic axis in poultry production, and its function is challenged by fatty liver syndrome in layers and breeders, rapid growth in broilers, and heat-induced oxidative stress. Phytogenics can support liver function, but their efficacy depends on standardized, measurable active compounds rather than generic plant extracts. In broilers fed a standardized artichoke extract (chlorogenic acid and cynarin) from 0 to 42 days, serum AST and ALP were significantly reduced and total protein increased at the higher dose, alongside improved body weight and feed conversion, supporting standardization as a route to more consistent phytogenic nutrition.

Igusol: Grape polyphenols in animal nutrition: more resilience to oxidative stress

Grape (Vitis vinifera) polyphenols act as a multimodal antioxidant in animal nutrition, neutralizing free radicals, chelating pro-oxidant metals, activating the Nrf2/ARE pathway and modulating inflammatory pathways, unlike single-mechanism antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium. Cellular evidence shows a grape extract-based molecule (ENTAN) restored cell viability and reduced lipid peroxidation in hepatocyte- and salmonid-derived cell lines under oxidative challenge, and applications in poultry and pigs link improved redox balance to egg quality, fertility, feed efficiency and meat quality.

The intestine as a critical target of heat stress: a nutritional strategy to protect swine productivity during summer

Heat stress is one of the major challenges facing modern swine production. Rising temperatures associated with climate change are increasingly exposing animals to conditions that exceed their adaptive capacity, negatively affecting growth, feed efficiency, reproductive performance, and farm profitability.
