Plasma continues to find its place in innovative pet products beyond traditional food applications.

One example is WOOF® Pupsicle Pops, a long-lasting enrichment treat that includes plasma as part of its ingredient composition. As formulators look to balance nutrition, functionality, and palatability (and even play!) plasma offers versatility across a wide range of pet food and treat formats.

It's always exciting to see functional proteins being incorporated into innovative products that help meet the evolving needs of pets and pet owners.

Supporting gut health and immune resilience starts with effective nutritional strategies, especially during the early stages of broiler development.

As poultry production continues to face health and environmental challenges, interest is growing in functional ingredients that help maintain intestinal integrity, modulate immune responses, and improve tolerance to stress.

While spray-dried plasma has been extensively studied and widely adopted in swine nutrition for decades, emerging poultry research is providing new insights into its potential role in supporting broiler health, performance, and flock robustness. As the body of evidence expands, nutritionists and veterinarians can better evaluate where functional proteins fit within modern poultry nutrition programs.

Heat stress doesn't end when the sun goes down.

Warm nights prevent pigs from recovering from the day's heat load, leading to cumulative stress that can reduce feed intake, impair feed efficiency, and slow growth over time.

While effective ventilation and cooling remain essential, nutritional strategies that support gut function and resilience can help pigs better cope with ongoing heat stress.
