🎙️ We have a podcast! Introducing Beyond the Feed, 10 to 15 minute episodes where our scientists, nutritionists and product specialists explain the science behind our solutions, as well as the problems our customers face every day. Put them on while the ☕ brews or listen to on the 🚗 in, and you'll usually arrive knowing something you didn't when you left the house. In each one, we get into the things that actually matter to your work: the challenges cropping up on farm, the topics everyone's talking about, and the science behind the solutions, so you come away understanding it a little better than you did before.

And we're starting with something that couldn't be timelier. 👇

Episode 1: Everything That Changes For Poultry, Swine & Ruminants Under The EU's New Mycotoxin Rules

For the first time in twenty years, the EU has rewritten its guidance values for mycotoxins in feed, and the changes run deep. Together with Dr. Arnau Vidal and Dr. Francisco Rocha Pinto, we go through what's changing from 1 July 2027, which species are facing the sharpest cuts (poultry, brace yourselves), and what it all means for the way you monitor, compare, mitigate and report.

It's the reasoning behind the science, made for the nutritionists, vets, feed mill managers and farmers who like to understand why something works before they use it.

🏆 Celebrating our wins: we've been named a nominee for the Private Equity Awards by Private Capital Belgium, in the Buy-Out category. The awards celebrate exceptional Belgian growth stories backed by private capital, and we're in strong company.

For us, this recognition reflects a journey more than 35 years in the making: developing feed and water additives that bring together animal welfare, food-chain safety and cost-effectiveness for producers in over 70 countries.

Swipe to see a word from our CEO Ben Letor on the nomination. 👉

Our thanks to Private Capital Belgium and the jury, and congratulations to every nominee across the venture, growth and buy-out categories. Looking forward to the ceremony in Brussels!

🚨Here's an uncomfortable truth for the industry: your feed can test low-risk, your mitigation program can be running exactly as designed, and your herd can still be losing pregnancies.

That's precisely what happened at a breeding farm in Southeast Asia. On paper, everything was in order. In the farrowing house, sows were aborting and piglets showed clear signs of estrogenic stress, a reproductive problem the feed analysis simply could not explain.

Here's what they found:
🐷 These piglets had never eaten a single gram of feed, and yet 4 different mycotoxins were detected in their system. But how?

The answer? Vertical transfer, where mycotoxins passed from the sow to her offspring before they ever encountered feed. It happens by two routes:
🔍 Across the placenta to the developing fetus
🔍 Through her milk

No feed test would ever have caught this. Biomonitoring does, and that's what it adds to reproductive management: it reveals what truly reached the sow and her offspring, and confirms whether your mitigation is actually working.

Making that hidden exposure visible is exactly the kind of work that just earned us a place in the July edition of Agri-Insights. This issue takes a closer look at what biomonitoring adds to reproductive management, through the vertical transfer of mycotoxins in swine, in a case study written by our very own Dr. Arnau Vidal and Dr. Francisco Pinto, Global Product Manager Biomonitoring & Mycotoxins. 🎉

These findings show a clear need for change: rethink the timeline of mycotoxin control, as mycotoxin risk in the breeding herd begins before the first feed.

🧭 Our story in Brazil and LATAM just gained a new chapter: we've signed an agreement to acquire Cinergis, through our subsidiary Oligo Basics.

This marks another meaningful step in a story that's been building for years. Since welcoming Oligo Basics in 2024, we've grown deep roots in Brazil, and with Cinergis, we're extending the Innovad Group story further across Latin America.

For nearly two decades, Cinergis has built something remarkable: pioneering technologies in animal health and nutrition, including BIOVERM® and probiotic solutions targeting Salmonella, backed by deep technical expertise. That legacy was shaped by the vision of founding partner Gabriel Jorge Neto, whose commitment to innovation and to the people he served leaves a lasting mark on this industry. We welcome it with the utmost respect.

Where we've built growth engines in biomonitoring and phytogenics, Cinergis adds a powerful biotechnology platform, and together they move us closer to a shared mission: reducing the reliance on chemicals and antibiotics in animal nutrition.

We are delighted to welcome a team, a heritage, and a shared belief in what animal health and nutrition can be.

Welcome to the Innovad Group family, Cinergis. Let's build the next chapter together. 🤝🌎

🩸🔍 Over the past weeks, we’ve shared our 6 Core Principles of Biomonitoring, each highlighting a key insight into how mycotoxins impact animals beyond what feed analysis alone can reveal.

From hidden exposure and early-life risks to performance losses and verification of mitigation strategies, one thing is clear: What happens inside the animal defines the real impact.

Biomonitoring connects exposure to outcomes, helping you move from assumptions to measurable results across health, performance, and productivity.

Missed a principle? This post brings them all together.

⁉️🐟 Struggling to preserve feed quality? During processing and storage, oxidation continues to degrade sensitive nutrients like astaxanthin, directly impacting fillet color, performance, and economic return.

Ensuring feed quality is key to maintaining both performance and value.

👉 What’s driving this feed oxidative stress?
👉 And how can we better protect valuable nutrients?

In our post, swipe to discover how we explore how natural antioxidants with olive bioactives can help preserve feed stability and support optimal performance in aquaculture. Link to the article in the comments!

🩸Assuming your mycotoxin strategy works doesn’t make it effective. Feed analysis and mitigation strategies are only part of the picture. What really matters is whether they reduce exposure inside the animal, and that’s something you can only verify in blood.

➡️ Measuring mycotoxins in blood biomarkers confirms whether your mitigation strategy is actually working, connecting actions to measurable improvements in health, performance, and profitability.
Biomonitoring+ turns assumptions into measurable results, so you can control what truly matters.

Control what matters. Assuming isn’t a strategy.

🐖 The real value of a masterclass? The people in the room. Last week, we hosted our 2-day Masterclass in Ghent, bringing together professionals from all over the world, united by one shared passion for porcine health and nutrition.

With contributions from leading experts and a practical necropsy session, participants didn’t just learn, they experienced. But what truly made this edition stand out was the interaction: ideas exchanged, perspectives challenged, and connections built through active participation and collaboration.

🤝 Because in the end, it’s not just about what you learn, but who you connect with along the way.

👏 A big thank you to all participants, speakers, and colleagues who made this edition so valuable.
