In-house discovery and development
Fytera Perform
Fytera Perform is part of the Fytera range—Selko’s line of PhytoComplex solutions within Trouw Nutrition’s feed additive portfolio. Powered by Nutreco’s Garden of the Future, it brings plant-based science into poultry production.
By harnessing the power of plants, Fytera Perform offers a fresh, research-informed approach to supporting resilience and performance. It is a micro-encapsulated blend of bioactive compounds from three plants delivering over 15 individual components, designed to work in synergy with the animal’s biology. Feed conversion ratio plays a major role in poultry profitability, and independent research has shown consistent improvements in broilers fed with Fytera Perform.
The Challenge: Chronic Inflammation in Poultry
Many poultry operations face environmental pressures, such as sub-optimal housing conditions, stocking density, nutrition programmes, climate, and disease exposure. These stressors are often linked to low-grade, persistent inflammation, which may interfere with nutrient absorption and gut barrier function, redirecting energy away from growth and preventing animals from reaching their full genetic potential.
Broilers, in particular, are vulnerable due to rapid growth and health challenges. Scientific literature suggests that such inflammation can affect both animal welfare and production efficiency. Since feed conversion ratio plays a major role in poultry profitability, producers are increasingly exploring natural ways to support animal resilience to manage inflammatory response and make better use of nutrients.

Our Approach: Fytera Perform and PhytoComplexes
Fytera Perform is a formulated PhytoComplex. PhytoComplexes are advanced blends of plant-based bioactives that preserve the natural complexity of herbs, spices, and botanicals. This complexity supports synergistic interactions that may benefit gut health, immune function, and feed efficiency. At the heart of this innovation is Nutreco's Garden of the Future, a pioneering discovery centre located in Switzerland's Phyto Valley. This centre fuels our PhytoComplex solutions and hosts Nutreco Exploration, a team of phytotechnology experts committed to addressing real-life challenges in animal health.
When a specific need arises, such as enhancing gut integrity, modulating immune responses, or supporting resilience during early life stages, our experts identify molecular targets and select plants with the potential to influence them. Central to all our PhytoComplexe's approach is preserving the natural complexity of these plants, enabling support for animal resilience through host-mediated pathways rather than simply targeting pathogens. Every PhytoComplex solution is rooted in science, driven by purpose, and held to the highest standards of quality, consistency, and sustainability.
