Sustainability and profitability in animal production

As a family-owned company with 30 years of experience in animal nutrition solutions, at Liptosa we firmly believe in balanced production models that allow us to maintain – and even improve – production results.

• 🗝️ The key is in the technical approach, knowledge of the local context and the ability to adapt. 

In this article we share our vision on how to contribute to more responsible production without sacrificing efficiency.

🌍 Global pressure, local responses

This new context translates into stricter regulations: from restrictions on the use of antibiotics in several regions of Asia and Latin America, to the elimination of certain additives in Gulf countries and increasingly stringent environmental requirements in the European Union.

But it is not only the legislation that is changing. The end consumer, who is increasingly informed, demands products of animal origin whose production is environmentally friendly, safe and based on animal welfare. This is leading to a rethinking of traditional practices, forcing industry to evolve rapidly.

In this situation, the “global” approach loses effectiveness. What works on a European farm may not be viable or effective in an Asian intensive production system, or in an extreme climate environment in North Africa. Adapting to local requirements is therefore more important than ever. 

🔬 Nutrition as a strategic tool

Far from being limited to covering physiological requirements, animal nutrition has become a key tool to improve responsible production on livestock farms. At Liptosa we observe a growing interest on the part of technicians and producers in strategies that provide additional benefits:

Reduction of pollutant emissions: through adjusted formulations, additives that optimize digestibility and strategies that improve rumen fermentation or reduce nitrogen excretion.

Improved feed efficiency: a cross-cutting objective in all markets, where feed price represents the main cost of production. Functional additives, enzymes and other digestive modulators allow you to maximize the use of nutrients.

Gut health and immune resilience: With increasing pressure to limit antimicrobial use, the industry is moving towards strategies that prioritize prevention. Good intestinal functionality not only protects against pathogens, but also optimizes the absorption of nutrients, reducing losses and improving production indicators.

Management of mycotoxins and contaminants: with increasingly extreme climates, in a context where raw materials are of diverse origin and health challenges more complex, nutritional strategies that integrate broad-spectrum scavengers with immune support represent an essential tool to maintain production stability and reduce invisible losses.

🔎 Data, evidence and technical validation

One of Liptosa’s strengths is the ability to combine expertise with specific tests in real field conditions. We have a technical team made up of veterinarians and agronomists who collaborate directly with distributors, nutritionists, veterinarians and producers to verify the effectiveness of each product, adapting it to the particularities of the local challenge.

Over the past few years, we have developed a robust internal validation program that includes:

• → Comparative efficacy tests in different species and environmental conditions.
• → Appetite and stability tests to ensure that solutions are easily integrated into the customer’s formulas.
• → Continuous technical support, with after-sales follow-up and evidence-based recommendations for use.

This approach allows us to accompany our distributors and collaborators at every stage of the process, providing not only products, but also knowledge, trust and proven results.

🌱 Adaptability and proximity: our commitment

Our work model is focused on listening to the needs of the market and offering personalized responses. We do not work with standard solutions, but with proposals adjusted to the reality of each client, each species and each geographical area.

This flexibility, combined with a close and professional service, is one of the reasons why today we are present in more than 60 countries, with a network of first-rate technical collaborators.

We know that every farm has its own challenges. That is why we are committed to long-term relationships based on trust, fluid communication and continuous improvement.
