Omega-3 in early-life nutrition - an investment in lifetime performance
Recent research published by WATT Global Media highlights the positive effects of omega-3 fatty acids in broiler nutrition – including improved feed conversion ratio (FCR).
These insights align closely with our approach to young animal nutrition. FMR Omega 3 from Joosten is a functional feed ingredient rich in omega-3 fatty acids from fish (EPA and DHA). There are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids: EPA (C20:5) and DHA (C22:6) found in fish and algae, while ALA (C18:3) is primarily found in plant-based fat sources
While ALA acts as a precursor, EPA and DHA are directly active and especially valuable for enhancing the animal’s anti-inflammatory capacity. Research and field experience show that omega-3-rich diets (especially EPA and DHA):
► Support gut health and early gut development
► Improve nutrient utilization
► Boost growth performance in young animals
Strong gut development early in life supports long-term performance in pigs and poultry.
