Resistant capacity of the encapsulated grape extract during ruminal fermentation: an Ex-vitro study
Last August 2022, in Thessaloniki (Greece) Doctor Bui (DVM, Nor-Feed R&D team) shared new data obtained with our encapsulated grape extract during the 70th International Congress and Annual Meeting of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural product research (GA). Rumen-by-pass formula of Nor-Grape® to protect active molecules from Ruminal retention Natural grape extract constituted …
Improving colostrum quality in cows
Colostrum quality and Oxidative stress During the peripartum period, the massive modulation in metabolism, physiology, immunity, etc., frequently generates the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes oxidative stress [1]. The negative correlation between maternal oxidative imbalance and quality of colostrum has been confirmed by several studies. Some studies have shown that the supplementation …

Natural Citrus Extracts to modulate the sows’ microbiota and enable a better weight gain of piglets
Modulating the Sows’ microbiota The citrus extracts of Nor-Spice AB® contain many actives which have shown effects on the gut and intestinal microbiota. These compounds allow, on one side, to stimulate the growth of certain microorganisms that are beneficial to the microbiota, and on the other side to limit the development of pathogenic bacteria. For example, pectic oligosaccharides promote bifidobacteria and …
The effects of a dry grape extract and selenium supplementation on the reduction of oxidative stress in piglets
Weaning in piglets: A critical period Piglets are fragile animals at birth as they have to build their immune system after farrowing through lactation and especially through colostrum ingestion. This building of the immune system must then continue during weaning, which is a critical period in the life of piglets that may be associated with …

Grape Polyphenols: An ally to fight heat stress
Consider the Antioxidant system Antioxidant diversification is essential to improve heat stress resilience and tackle the oxidative stress issue. In livestock, certain polyphenols from grape extracts allow to preserve a high level of performance and help combat the negative effects of heat stress. Looking at the metabolism of livestock animals, they all share a very …
