PhytriCare® IM

PhytriCare® IM is a precision premix of plant extracts containing a minimum of 10% active flavonoids. Specifically designed to reduce the adverse impact of chronic inflammation, the active components are also known to reduce oxidative stress and enhance animal performance in the face of such challenges.

Typical Applications

PhytriCare® IM is an aroma premix added to feed to help modulate — but not suppress — inflammation and support animal performance. When added to feeds, it enables energy and other nutrients to be partitioned toward productive purposes, rather than chronic inflammation.

Benefits at a glance

  • Prevents development of chronic inflammation syndrome under challenging conditions and stress
  • 10% flavonoid content modulates inflammatory pathways and contributes to a healthy gut
  • Improves reproductive outcomes in sows, with ROI exceeding 8:1
  • Withstands the feed production process, including pelleting

Reducing the damaging effects of chronic inflammation

Chronic Inflammation, the unknown (profit) assassin

Inflammation – especially chronic inflammation – is a condition no responsible farmer wants. It reduces profit by slowing animal growth and efficiency, draining the energy from livestock, and causing discomfort and distress. Inflammation is a natural response to challenges like pathogens and injury. However, this short-term solution to a challenge can become a problematic chronic condition. Therefore, a method is needed to “block” the continued stimulation of the inflammatory response, to enable an acute phase to end. Reducing chronic intestinal inflammation improves nutrient absorption and utilization, contributing to better performance, gut integrity and health.

Harnessing the immune system-boosting effects of plants

PhytriCare® IM is a unique plant-based aroma premix containing a minimum of 10% flavonoids, carefully selected for their anti-inflammatory properties. Components such as quercetin and resveratrol have consistently been shown to reduce chronic inflammation by acting on the relevant metabolic pathways.

Proven results in the field

The use of PhytriCare® IM is supported by real-world results. Trials in sows have shown consistent and profitable improvements in reproductive outcomes, with a return on investment (ROI) exceeding 8:1. Piglets, in particular, are born with more vitality, showing reduced mortality and better growth rates. In laying hens, evidence suggests that older birds benefit by producing more eggs.
