The use of targeted nutritional supplements and advanced feed additives has evolved from basic fortification to a sophisticated tool for preventative health management and performance optimization. These products are formulated to provide specific physiological benefits beyond basic caloric and protein requirements. In companion animals, products like chondroprotective agents (glucosamine and chondroitin) are widely used to slow the progression of osteoarthritis, and specialized omega fatty acid blends are prescribed to manage inflammatory skin conditions.

In livestock, feed additives are strategically used to enhance digestive health, often through the inclusion of probiotics, prebiotics, and essential oils. These compounds promote a stable gut microbiome, which improves nutrient absorption efficiency and strengthens the animal’s natural immunity, thereby reducing the risk of enteric diseases. The use of specialized nutritional compounds is also critical in supporting high-performance animals and addressing specific physiological stress points, such as the transition phase in dairy cows. Strict quality control and formulation precision are non-negotiable, given the high volume of consumption and the potential impact on animal welfare and productivity.
