About 20 years ago, the use of feed antibiotics and some other antimicrobial compounds, used as performance enhancers became the target of increasing public criticism and a topic of political controversy (particularly in the EU countries). As the first country in Europe, Sweden banned the use of antimicrobial growth promoters as early as 1986.
The chart below illustrates the progression of dental disease that is as common for dogs and cats as it is for humans.
Like humans, dogs are living longer and therefore spend a longer period of life as a senior. With this growth in the ageing dog population, more pet parents are experiencing the strain of having an older dog presenting with a decline in cognitive function. This condition is called Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) and is compared to Alzheimer’s disease in humans.

The name “Vitamin” was created by research scientist Casimir Funk over 100 years where he identified that some dietary compounds, which if not present, led to the development of certain diseases. He believed these essential dietary compounds were amines and derived name “Vitamin” by combining the Latin word “vita” meaning “life” with the chemical term “amine”.

Considering the debate on the environmental cost of animal protein production, it is vitally important to consider ways of reducing loss and waste of this valuable protein source.
The environmental challenges are huge to meet the growing need for food worldwide. Rethinking the way the food system works is key to delivering healthy, sustainable food to a growing population and protecting the planet. While no single solution is sufficient, reducing food loss and waste is crucial.
DSM’s investment will support sustainable growth of the Thai aquaculture industry by providing solutions that improve yields and circularity.
Fueled by escalating population growth, global demand for sustainable animal protein is growing, placing increasing pressure on the planet’s finite resources. But what does ‘sustainable animal protein’ mean in practical terms, and how can it be transformed from a business value into a business driver?
Predictions from the World Resources Institute indicate that world demand for animal protein will swell to 445 million tons per year by 2050, or by 70% compared to today.
Emissions at vitamin production facility in Sisseln, Switzerland cut by 50,000 tons/year due to new biomass heat and power plant on site.
One thing that still occurs in the swine industry sometimes is mulberry heart disease in the nursery pigs and it's not very common but when it does occur, it's a few pigs and it might be an indication that there's a need for improving supplementation levels to reduce the potential for losses due that mulberry heart disease, which is characteristic of either vitamin E or selenium deficiency.
Optimal gastrointestinal function is influenced by many factors, including gut microbiota and the way it interacts with the host. In fact, the gastrointestinal microbiota has proven to modulate the development of the gastrointestinal tract and improve its morphology, stimulating the development of the gastrointestinal immune system, promoting host nutrition and reducing gastrointestinal pathogens.
dsm-firmenich outlines innovative and scalable solutions to meet the rising demand for sustainable animal protein at its Sustainability Forum in Tokyo, Japan.
Food quality is high on the consumers agenda, not only for themselves but also for their furry children due to highly publicized pet food fraud scandals, pet food recalls related to vitamins, an overall increase in nutritional health awareness, and pet humanization.
Pet food products are highly regulated, from the ingredients used, through to production, marketing and sales. This need for tight regulation and control is only right. Pets are important family members, and just like children, they depend on us to provide safe, nourishing food that supports their lifelong health and wellbeing.
Following the European ban of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in 2006, the use of organic acids in animal nutrition has gained significant importance in the feed industry.
The use of organic acids in pig farming is not as a new technology: it was early found that piglets have difficulty in digesting diets containing vegetable proteins, mainly because of insufficient stomach acidification.
With the world’s population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and demand for more nutrient-dense, healthy nutrition increasing across geographies, it is estimated that aquaculture will need to increase production by 30–40 million tons by 2030 to keep up with the current rate of consumption.
