In this episode of Future Feed Talks, Dr Philippe Tacon, Global Product Manager at DSM-Firmenich, explains how GutServ Biotix is helping reduce post-weaning diarrhoea and improve growth in piglets.
Weaning induces significant disruptions to the piglet’s gut microbiome and immune system, making targeted gut support essential for optimal development.
With over 25 years of global experience in animal health, Dr Tacon shares how postbiotics — inactivated bacteria and their metabolites — offer a stable, scalable solution to enhance gut integrity, immunity, and microbiome balance. He also discusses the transition of postbiotic science from humans to animals, the difference between prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics, and trial results showing improved feed conversion and daily gain across diverse production systems.
This Future Feed Talks episode is a collaboration between DSM-Firmenich and Misset International Media.
