In aquaculture, maintaining proper fish health is crucial to avoid incurring significant economic losses. While gut health often takes center stage, the skin and gills are also critical first lines of defense. This blog explores the potential of functional feed materials — particularly the refined form of mannan oligosaccharides, the mannan-rich fraction (MRF) — to enhance those defenses.… more

Hot weather brings with it an extensive list of potential troubles for dairy producers, including heat stress. Cows are more vulnerable to heat stress because they generate so much body heat while producing milk.
Many issues can arise when cows are heat-stressed, including:
A reduction in dry matter intake, leading to a considerable decrease in milk production.
Reduced immune function and a… more

What is heat stress?
Heat stress is an issue caused by rising temperatures in animal production operations. As the animals’ environment begins to heat up, it can impede performance, efficiency and, ultimately, overall production profitability.
This can be a problem with any poultry production unit since high product output (meat or eggs) leads to greater metabolic activity and, thus, greater… more
