dsm-firmenich launches new postbiotic solution for piglets

dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has announced the launch of GutServ Biotix, an innovative postbiotic solution designed to support piglet health, resilience and performance.

Maintaining piglet health and performance is one of the biggest challenges in modern pig production, especially during critical stress periods such as weaning. Strengthening gut integrity and functionality, GutServ Biotix helps minimize early-life setbacks and allows piglets to thrive efficiently and establish a solid foundation for healthy growth and sustained performance.

Backed by robust scientific validation and multiple trials across geographies, GutServ Biotix empowers producers to build stronger pigs from the gut up—confidently and consistently, with a proven return on investment ranging from 5:1 to 10:1, it offers consistent value across diverse production systems.

GutServ Biotix's compatibility with all feed types and processing conditions makes it a flexible solution for modern operations. The formulation is heat-tolerant, stable, and easy to handle, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows.

Dr. Philippe Tacon, Global Product Manager Microbials at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health says “GutServ Biotix works through four synergistic actions that directly support gut health and immune performance. Whether piglets are under stress from weaning, dietary shifts or environmental challenges, our solution helps sustain performance by reinforcing gut functionalities and supports a balanced microbiome. GutServ Biotix is a testament to our commitment to help the swine industry increase productivity, improve welfare, reduce environmental impact, and enhance product quality.”

Video: Dr. Jay Johnson: Bioenergetics of Heat Stress in Sows

The Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Jay Johnson from the University of Missouri explores the bioenergetics of heat stress in gestating sows and how it affects growth and fat deposition. He discusses energy partitioning, thermoregulation, and genetic strategies to improve thermal tolerance without compromising productivity. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Gestating sows under heat stress grow faster than those in thermoneutral conditions, with much of that growth going into backfat."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jay Johnson earned his Ph.D. from Iowa State University and is now an Associate Professor of Animal Welfare and Stress Physiology at the University of Missouri. His research focuses on heat stress, swine productivity, and practical welfare innovations through physiology and genomics.
