The new product was initially developed for use in pigs and poultry and supports gut health as a key foundation for animal health, performance, and feed efficiency.
The importance of maintaining stable gut health is receiving increasing attention in modern animal nutrition. As the primary interface between the animal, feed, and the environment, the gut not only plays a central role in digestion and nutrient absorption but also serves as an essential barrier against pathogenic microorganisms. If this delicate balance is disrupted, performance losses, health challenges, and economic losses may result.
With MiaBalance, MIAVIT relies on a targeted combination of monoglycerides of medium-chain fatty acids. The individual fatty acids complement one another in their mode of action, resulting in a particularly broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. “This synergistic combination allows the benefits of the different components to be optimally utilized and supports the maintenance of a stable microbial balance in the gut,” explains Mario Brake, Team Leader Feed Additives - MIAVIT GmbH.
In addition to their effect on the gut microbiota, medium-chain fatty acids contribute to the stability of the intestinal barrier. At the same time, they promote the development and integrity of the intestinal villi, thereby creating optimal conditions for efficient nutrient absorption and stable gut function. In this way, MiaBalance helps strengthen the animals’ natural resilience and, particularly during challenging phases, supports performance and feed efficiency through stable gut health.
“With the introduction of MiaBalance, MIAVIT underlines its commitment to translating scientific findings into practical solutions for modern animal nutrition,” emphasizes Brake. At the same time, the company is expanding its Feed Additives portfolio with an innovative addition to support gut health, performance, and resilience.
