Revolutionizing sustainable agriculture: the pioneering role of gut-brain axis in animal nutrition with GUSTOR N’RGY® and DICOSAN+®

Sustainability is a crucial principle in our world, guiding our interactions with the environment and ensuring the planet’s prosperity for future generations. It encompasses practices like waste reduction and renewable energy promotion. Sustainability also extends to the well-being of all living creatures, particularly in agricultural settings. Innovative research areas such as the gut-brain axis offer insights into mental and physical well-being.

The gut-brain axis is crucial in sustainability efforts, emphasizing the need for integrated health and environmental management. Enhancing livestock gut health can improve animal welfare, reduce antibiotic reliance, and mitigate antibiotic resistance. Healthy animals also have a lower environmental footprint, as they use feed more efficiently, produce less waste, and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.

So that, the gut-brain axis research offers new ways to develop sustainable food systems, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, and the need for a holistic approach to sustainability.

NOREL, S.A. has products such as GUSTOR N’RGY® and DICOSAN+®, which contribute greatly to sustainability. The incorporation of these products in animal feed exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to enhancing animal health and behavior through the gut-brain axis, while also embracing sustainability in agriculture. All due to their composition and the mechanisms through which they act.

GUSTOR N’RGY® is a cutting-edge feed additive, combining the benefits of sodium butyrate (70%) protected with innovative technique with sodium salts of palm fatty acids. Butyrate is crucial for gut health, promoting nutrient absorption and immune response. The inclusion of palm fatty acids protects butyrate and contributes to sustainability by using renewable resources. This formulation can improve animal health, behavior, and productivity, especially in poultry farming, by enhancing animal health and productivity.

DICOSAN+® is a unique product that protects sodium butyrate with sodium salt of coconut fatty acid distillates, rich in lauric acid. Lauric acid, known for its antimicrobial properties, enhances gut health and strengthens the immune system, positively influencing the gut-brain axis. This positive influence is crucial for animal well-being, affecting behavior and stress responses.

Gut health is crucial for animal behavior, productivity, and sustainability in farming practices. GUSTOR N’RGY® or Dicosan+ can improve feed efficiency, growth rates, and egg production by enhancing gut health and immune response. This promotes natural and well-being behaviors, promoting a stress-reduced environment. Healthy poultry also reduces the need for antibiotics, aligning with sustainable farming goals. This contributes to a more ethical and sustainable farming ecosystem.

Finally, GUSTOR N’RGY® or DICOSAN+® represent a step forward in animal nutrition and a leap towards a more sustainable coexistence with the environment. Innovative research and responsible production practices set new standards in the industry, emphasizing the vital role of gut health in achieving global sustainability goals.
