Price hikes = more cereal byproducts in animal feed. What about mycotoxin risk?
By Technical Team, EW Nutrition Most grains used in feed are susceptible to mycotoxin contamination, causing severe economic losses all along feed value chains. As skyrocketing raw material prices force producers to include a higher proportion of economical cereal byproducts in the feed, the risks of mycotoxin contamination likely increase. In this article, we review […]
Piglet performance with fewer antimicrobials is possible
By Technical Team, EW Nutrition A variety of stressors simultaneously occur at weaning, making this probably the most challenging period in pig production. During weaning, we commonly see altered gut development and gut microbiome, which increases piglets’ vulnerability to diseases. The most classic clinical symptom resulting from these stressors is the occurrence of post-weaning diarrhea. […]

ABF poultry production: How to keep coccidiosis in check
By T.J. Gaydos Coccidiosis control consists of programs, including ionophores, chemical coccidiostats, vaccines, and gut health-promoting natural products. Sometimes, these are combined (Noack, Chapman, and Selzer, 2019). Antibiotic-free (ABF) production requires new approaches – this article will look at how different solutions can be successfully implemented. Meticulous coccidiosis management in ABF productions is crucial to […]
Piglet Nutrition Scenarios for AGP Removal
Over the past 60 years, antibiotics have played an essential role in the swine industry as a tool that swine producers rely on to control diseases and to reduce mortality. Besides, antibiotics are also known to improve performance, even when used in subtherapeutic doses. The perceived overuse of antibiotics in pig production, especially as […]

The hidden danger of endotoxins in animal production
by Technical Team, EW Nutrition Find out why LPS can cause endotoxemia and how intelligent toxin mitigation solutions can support endotoxin management. Each E. coli bacterium contains about 100 lipopolysaccharides molecules in its outer membrane Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are the major building blocks of the outer walls of Gram-negative bacteria. Throughout its life cycle, a bacterium […]
Understanding and managing Strep suis in swine: The essentials
Strep suis causes vast losses in pig production and threatens human health, too. We still rely on antibiotics to control it – but we will have to change tactics to contain antimicrobial resistance. Streptococcus suis is one of the most economically harmful pathogens for the global swine industry. When I started working in pig production 25 […]
