An animal’s health and feed efficiency depend on the proper functioning and balance of its digestive system. Ensuring optimal digestive security from the outset and throughout the production cycle is the basis for high-performing, stable, and profitable production.
Digestive security is based on all the mechanisms that ensure optimal intestinal function: efficient production of digestive enzymes, protection of the mucosa, maintenance of intestinal integrity, and balance of the microbiota.
When properly managed, it promotes better absorption of nutrients, optimized feed intake, consistent performance, and improved animal robustness.
In a context marked by reduced use of antibiotics, tighter regulatory requirements, and increasing economic pressure on the sector, managing digestive health is becoming an essential lever.
As the scope for curative treatments narrows, prevention and nutritional management are taking a central place in livestock strategies.
Strengthen animal robustness from the outset by supporting a functional, balanced digestive system.
Maintain performance levels by limiting the onset of digestive disorders and their impact on growth or production.
Maintain optimal feed utilization by improving feed efficiency and performance consistency.
Digestive health does not depend on a single parameter but results from the interaction of many factors:
Feed quality and composition: quality of raw materials, digestibility of proteins and energy, control of indigestible fractions, physical structure of the feed, etc.
Balance of the intestinal microbiota and its regulatory mechanisms, notably interactions between bacterial populations, directly influence digestive stability.
Feed manufacturing processes: grinding, pelleting, particle size of raw materials.
Farming practices: environmental management, feed transitions, stocking density, etc.
Acting on digestive security therefore requires a holistic vision, capable of bringing all these dimensions together to identify limiting factors and address them in a targeted manner.
The CCPA Group approaches digestive security with in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms that govern intestinal balance. This expertise makes it possible to identify the most relevant nutritional and technological levers to prevent imbalances, stabilize the microbiota, strengthen digestive secretions, and preserve intestinal integrity.
The recommendations provided are based on validated in vitro and in vivo data at the Euronutrition experimental station, ensuring their reliability and effectiveness.
In the face of digestive disorders or performance variability, the CCPA Group carries out 360° audits analyzing all the factors involved: farming practices, health context, feed composition and presentation. The assessment is based on concrete indicators such as the condition of droppings and feces or monitoring intake curves.
To address the issues identified, CCPA offers targeted approaches, including ProActiv’®, a range of phyto solutions intended for poultry and finishing pigs. Its effects on digestive balance and zootechnical performance have been demonstrated.
Securing digestive function means laying the foundations for more stable, more efficient, and more resilient animal production. A strategic challenge at a time when economic performance and reduced antibiotic use must be integrated into the same momentum of progress.
