The potential benefits of natural growth promoters

Intensive research has focused on the potential of natural growth promoters (NGP) to replace antibiotics. The beneficial effects of NGP are mainly attributed to their potential to promote a beneficial gut microflora which protects the host against pathogens and helps to alleviate periods of stress. Tobias Steiner of Biomin argues that a well-adjusted combination of different strategies will maximise the efficacy of NGP in antibiotic-free feeding systems.

So "from farm to fork to finance" makes much more sense.

Effect yeast and MOS tested in pigs

The Animal Sciences Group from Wageningen University carried out an experiment to determine the effects of yeast culture (XPCLS) and yeast culture XPCLS + mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) in pig diets on the performance, gut integrity, and immune function in weanling pigs. The researchers also wanted to determine whether these dietary supplements can replace antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) in pig diets.
