Phytogens

Definition of Phytogens

What are Phytogens?

Phytogens are plant-derived compounds used in animal nutrition to support performance. They include essential oils, herbs, spices, and plant extracts, and are known for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, digestive, and anti-inflammatory properties. Their activity depends on botanical source, formulation, and dosage.

How it works

How does it work?

Act through standardized plant bioactives with targeted functional properties

Reduce pathogenic pressure by interfering with bacterial communication and activity

Enhance digestive processes by improving nutrient availability and reducing microbial competition

Support intestinal balance and reduce inflammatory responses

Conclusion

What does this mean for you?

By targeting key mechanisms such as microbial pressure, digestive efficiency, and intestinal balance, phytogenic compounds help improve overall animal performance. Their action supports a more stable gut environment, enhances nutrient utilization, and contributes to better feed efficiency. Over time, this translates into improved growth rates, carcass quality, and metabolic balance, with additional antioxidant support to help animals perform more consistently under production stress.
