Digestive health sits at the centre of nutrient utilisation, immunity and productive performance. When gut function is compromised, animals may consume feed without efficiently converting its nutrients into growth or production, while intestinal imbalance can increase inflammatory and immune demands. 

Across livestock species, research increasingly links the gut microbiome with nutrient availability, feed efficiency, barrier integrity, disease resilience and even emissions. Protecting digestive performance therefore supports both animal welfare and farm economics while helping producers extract more value from every kilogram of feed.
