New feed products that can boost animal health
23 Apr 2025
Functional ingredients are specific components added to animal feed that provide additional benefits beyond basic nutrition. These ingredients can target various aspects of animal health and performance, including improved growth and development, enhanced immune function, stress reduction, and adaptability.
Examples of functional ingredients include probiotics and prebiotics, enzymes, phytogenic, nucleotides, organic acids, and functional fats.
How are functional animal feed products transforming the industry landscape?
Various feed additives, from algae to enzymes, have been explored to cater to specific animal nutrition needs and treat certain diseases.
Prominent entities such as Elanco, Purina Animal Nutrition, Hills Pet Nutrition, DSM, and Novozymes are keenly interested in developing feed composition with additives that can potentially treat diseases and provide animal nutrition.
Nutreco and BiomEdit announced a strategic research and commercial partnership to develop innovative and novel feed additives through microbiome technology.
Similarly, BASF and Cargill, two global leaders in animal nutrition, have expanded their partnership to develop and market innovative enzyme-based solutions for the animal feed industry. This expansion aims to improve animal health, reduce the environmental impact, and promote sustainable practices in animal healthcare.
DSM and Novozyme have collaborated to develop a feed product combining N-acetyl-muramidase, protease, kynurenine, tryptophan, serotonin, and tryptamine. They aim to provide health benefits such as reduced inflammation, better adaptation to circadian rhythms, improved metabolism, and reproductive health. Nestle has developed a feed composition of anti-Fei Dl antibodies to treat cat allergies. The company has filed a patent to protect this innovation.
Bloomage Bioactive's innovative pet food formulation centers around integrating hyaluronic acid or its salts, meticulously focusing on promoting diverse aspects of pet health.
The pet food includes specific molecular weight ranges and various salts such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. The recommended oral dosage varies based on intended benefits, enhancing coat quality and increasing skin moisture. Additional features may include incorporating chicken liver powder into the pet food. Applications extend to promoting coat health, intestinal health with microbiota benefits, and urinary system health, particularly in preventing or treating urolithiasis in pets.
The European Commission has incorporated the Feed Additives Regulation into the Farm to Fork action plan, labeled “Modernisation of the EU Rules on Feed Additives.” This initiative's objective is to modernize the regulation and bring innovative feed ingredients into the market.
