🌿Fytera: From Concentration-Driven To Fingerprint-Driven Discovery
At Nutreco Exploration, phytotechnology is changing direction and embracing the potential of PhytoComplexes. Our scientists use advanced analytical tools and AI-enabled modelling to evaluate entire plant metabolite fingerprints. This approach allows researchers to assess patterns across phytochemical profiles and identify relationships that would be difficult to interpret through traditional screening.
Rather than considering which plant has the highest level of a single active, the focus is shifting to which plant fingerprint is best suited to influence a specific biological response.
Within plants, various metabolites interact as integrated biological systems. Together, these compounds may influence absorption, metabolism, signalling pathways and physiological responses in ways that isolated compounds may not fully replicate. Production systems are becoming more complex.
Animals face multiple stressors simultaneously, including health pressure, nutritional changes, environmental variation and performance demands.
🌿 Because these challenges are interconnected, nutritional solutions should work across several biological pathways, discover more at Feed & Additive Magazine: https://trouwntr.tn/32W
