EuroTier 2026 showcases new feed and animal nutrition innovations

GERMANY – Feed and animal nutrition companies have unveiled new products, technologies and programmes at EuroTier 2026, taking place from 10-13 November in Hanover, Germany, with a focus on improving animal performance, feed utilisation and production efficiency.

Among the launches, EW Nutrition introduced Pretect Max, a natural solution designed to support gut health in broilers facing coccidial challenge. 

The product combines three complementary modes of action with a phytomolecule complex intended to support gut resilience, mucosal recovery and antioxidant defence.

The company reported that controlled floor-pen and commercial trials conducted between 2023 and 2026 showed reduced oocyst output, lower lesion scores than a reference chemical coccidiostat and improved feed conversion ratio. 

Available in feed and liquid formats, Pretect Max can be used alone or alongside coccidiostats and vaccines, according to EW Nutrition.

Trouw Nutrition introduced its Sow Excellence Programme, which takes a life-cycle approach to improving sow productivity. 

The programme combines science-based nutrition, technical expertise and digital solutions to help producers identify performance improvements across different stages of a sow’s life, with potential benefits for herd health, pigs weaned per sow, resource utilisation and farm profitability.

New technologies target nutrient utilisation and feed efficiency

Evonik highlighted its “Power of 65” campaign, which promotes the bioefficacy of MetAMINO® (DL-methionine).

The company says 65 units of the product can replace 100 units of methionine hydroxy analog products without compromising animal performance. 

The comparison is supported by the third edition of its MetAMINO® ATLAS, which includes findings from 23 trials.

The company also presented Lypron®, a rumen-protected lysine for dairy cows designed to support amino acid balancing and nitrogen efficiency. 

Its ZyneXtra™ programme, scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2027, combines feed analytics, nutritional expertise and targeted enzyme solutions to help producers address non-starch polysaccharides in variable feed ingredients. 

Live demonstrations of its AMINONIR® analysis technology and enhanced AMINODat® platform further highlighted the role of ingredient analysis in feed formulation.

Meanwhile, Kemin Industries launched LYSOFORTE® ENFUSIO, an addition to its nutrient absorption portfolio for monogastric animals. 

The technology is designed to improve amino acid digestion and absorption alongside lipid utilisation, helping nutritionists extract more value from nutrients already present in diets.

It is available in dry and liquid formats and is intended for broilers, layers and pigs.

The launches and presentations reflect the industry’s continued focus on improving nutrient utilisation, managing production challenges and supporting more efficient animal nutrition through targeted feed technologies.
