Alltech launches Olerix to improve swine performance

Alltech, Lexington, Kentucky, has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs.

Through a proprietary pooling process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides complete support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

Alltech delivers smarter, more sustainable solutions for agriculture. Our diverse portfolio of products and services improves the health and performance of plants and animals, resulting in better nutrition for all and a decreased environmental impact. Our team produces specialty ingredients, premix supplements, feed and biologicals, backed by science and an unparalleled platform of services.

“As the industry searches for technologies to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technologies,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in the phytogenic space is yielding encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology—combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today, said Andy Fox, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.

As operational pressures continue to rise, producers need nutritional technologies with validated performance under real-world farm conditions. Olerix was developed by Alltech’s global team of animal health and nutrition experts to improve feed conversion in swine production and bridge the efficiency gap within modern production farms.

“The data technologies we rolled out behind this allow farmers predictably to produce,” said Jose Soto, monogastric research and technical lead at Alltech. “In our research, we have observed repeatable responses not only in growth performance but also in livability, especially in health-challenged nursery pigs. In finishing pigs, we have observed similar outcomes.”
