  • Digestarom PEP MGE Cuts Salmon Sea Lice by 68% in Trials

    Digestarom PEP MGE Cuts Salmon Sea Lice by 68% in Trials
    26 Aug 2026
    In this episode we explore how essential oils are becoming a central part of aquaculture welfare and mortality management. A controlled salmon trial shows Digestarom PEP MGE, derived from oregano, orange and anise oils, delivering a 68% reduction in sea lice on Atlantic salmon at 800 g/t, without sacrificing growth. We discuss the broader context of the Norwegian goal to reach 5% mortality by 2035, regulatory pressures, and the push for a toolbox approach that includes gut health, oxidative stress reduction, and disease resistance. The episode explains how essential oils can reduce parasite loads, support immune function and mucosal defenses, and reduce chemical treatments, contributing to more sustainable, high-welfare farming. We also look at the practical implications for producers, such as improved fish welfare, easier farm management, and potential market benefits.

  • From sequencing to on-farm value: turning microbiome data into action

    From sequencing to on-farm value: turning microbiome data into action
    26 Aug 2026
    This episode explores how rapid advances in DNA sequencing and advanced analytics are translating complex microbiome data into practical, on-farm decisions. We trace the evolution of sequencing technology, explain the SciTell™ Microbiome Analytics workflow, and show how a real poultry case study linked gut microbiome profiles with health indicators to drive actionable strategies. We discuss standardized cloud-based pipelines, an internal reference database of nearly 9,000 samples, and collaborative interpretation with scientists, vets, and commercial teams to interpret microbial patterns, assess risks and opportunities, and tailor interventions. You will hear how through data interpretation, variability considerations, and site-specific dynamics, producers can move beyond description to decision-support for improved flock performance.

  • Microbiome insights that boost poultry performance: case studies and tools

    Microbiome insights that boost poultry performance: case studies and tools
    26 Aug 2026
    This episode explores how the poultry microbiome shapes digestion, immunity, nutrient use, and overall flock performance. We discuss how advances in sequencing, multi-omics, and AI interpretation translate microbiome data into actionable strategies for production optimization. Real-world case studies show links between microbiome diversity, SCFA-producing bacteria, and performance outcomes, while blood biomarkers paired with microbiome profiles provide early indicators of health and metabolism. Learn how 16S rRNA sequencing evolved to metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics to diagnose risk and guide interventions. We examine the impact of management decisions, probiotic strategies, and targeted interventions that improve gut function, nutrient absorption, and feed efficiency, culminating in measurable economic benefits. Tune in for practical takeaways on implementing microbiome-driven optimization on farm, from data collection to on-farm decision making.
