Consumers are demanding animal protein free of antibiotics.
TruGro® by Layn® feed additives have been developed following the consumer request/demand regarding natural ingredients. TruGro® by Layn® range is based on proprietary blends of natural polyphenol-rich extracts with validated functionalities.
Poultry
Main challenges for Poultry:
Oxidation is a natural process that occurs in nature. It’s the result of degradation that can occur in feed that’s not stored properly or has been exposed to air for prolonged periods of time. A consequence of this reaction is that the feed will lose some of its nutritional value and well develop an uncharacteristic smell and taste that can be rejected by the animal.
Across the world, the restricted use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) causes broiler producers a headache. Many governments have already legislated against their use of or are about to do so.
Broilers will have to expend additional energy to counteract the oxidative stress caused by feed that has spoiled due to elevated intercellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that will cause damage to lipids, proteins and DNA.
Inflammatory syndromes may be linked to the use of unsaturated oils as energy sources in poultry feed, especially from vegetable sources. Inflammation is a natural reaction that occurs when reactive molecules from oxidized feed consumed by the broilers comes into contact with tissues in the intestinal tract that can cause damage to the tight junction proteins which serve as a protective barrier. This damage opens up a passage for toxins and microorganisms to invade the inner layers of the intestine, which can compromise the health and growth of the broil.
Our Products
TruGro® AOX extends the shelf life of poultry feed. It will provide improved antioxidant protection to the vast array of fats & oils that are commonly used in these products to maintain feed that is wholesome, nutritious and will be readily consumed by the broilers as a part of their diet.
A series of detailed in vivo studies in broilers have been performed to characterize the valuable properties of different natural polyphenols, resulting in the selection of some of them to design TruGro® AR to replace and improve the use of antibiotics as growth promoters.
An in vivo study using broilers was conducted to assess the impact a select number of polyphenols had on their growth development in comparison to standard antibiotic growth promoters that are typically used by the industry.
The true mechanism of action of AGP has never been defined. With TruGro we improve a host of digestive systems to create a functionality similar to that of AGP, promoting efficient performance without unwanted chemicals.
TruGro® GH improves body weight primarily by maintaining the integrity of tight junction proteins which serve as a protective barrier between cells in the intestine, to protect against the transference of toxins, which reduces the amount of energy and protein needed by the broilers to counteract these negative effects thereby mitigating any weight loss.
Swine
Main challenges for Swine:
Oxidation is a natural process that occurs in nature. It’s the result of degradation that can occur in feed that’s not stored properly or has been exposed to air for prolonged periods of time.

Across the world, the restricted use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) causes pig producers a headache. Many governments have already legislated against their use of or are about to do so.
Inflammatory syndromes may be linked to the use of unsaturated oils as energy sources in pig feed, especially from vegetable sources. Inflammation is a natural reaction that occurs when reactive molecules from oxidized feed consumed by the swine comes into contact with tissues in the intestinal tract that can cause damage to the tight junction proteins which serve as a protective barrier. This damage opens up a passage for toxins and microorganisms to invade the inner layers of the intestine, which can compromise the health and growth of the swine.
Weaning is a critical phase for young animals. Piglets are usually weaned at the age of 3 to 4 weeks, and at this stage, their gut is not yet fully mature nor able to completely digest solid complex nutrition. The main challenge is to stimulate feed intake in order to promote gut maturation and thus piglet’s health and growth.

TruGro® AOX intends extending the shelf life of animal feed. It provides improved anti-oxidation efficacy in a variety of fats & oils commonly used in such substrates.

TruGro® GH improves body weight primarily by maintaining the integrity of tight junction that regulates the paracellular pathway in the intestine, and blocking the ingress of potentially damaging of toxic substances, with a subsequent sparing on energy and protein used to counteract these negative effects.
TruGro® SW is formulated with plant-based sweeteners with the objective to stimulate feed intake in order to promote gut maturation and thus piglet’s health and growth. A series of detailed in vivo studies in piglets have been performed to characterize the valuable properties of stevia versus synthetic HIS as sodium saccharine.
Ruminants
Main challenges for Ruminants:
Calf transition from milk drinking to solid starter nutrition has two important economic components, the cost of milk, and the maturation of the calf intestine. The sooner the calf can start eating solid nutrition the lower the cost of feeding, and the sooner it can be bred.
Our Products
TruGro® SW can help speeding up this transition by enticing the calf to eat its starter sooner and in higher amounts.
Aquaculture
Main challenges for Aquaculture:

Fish and crustacean from farming experience elevated intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage to lipids, proteins and DNA.
They spend energy to counteract oxidative stress, leaving less growth.
Our Products
TruGro® AOX intends extending the shelf life of the pet nutrition. It provides improved anti-oxidation efficacy in a variety of fats & oils commonly used in such substrates.
TruGro® MAX promotes growth by reducing the energy and protein expense required to counteract the effect of ROS in the system. it allows a higher flow of nutrients for meat deposition that results in higher body weight.
