Delacon™ biostrong® phytogenic feed additives
Biostrong® is Delacon's line of phytogenic (plant-based) feed additives using optimized blends of essential oils, herbs, and spices to improve feed efficiency, gut health, and production performance in livestock and aquaculture.
Overview
Phytogenic feed additives leverage bioactive compounds from plants — essential oils, saponins, tannins, flavonoids — to influence animal gut function, palatability, and nutrient utilization. Delacon (acquired by Cargill) is the global pioneer in this category. Biostrong products combine specific essential oil blends with targeted delivery systems optimized by species and production stage. Cargill's MHS division combines Delacon phytogenics with Diamond V postbiotics for synergistic gut health solutions.
