Algebra Bio Highlights Hidden Threats to Livestock Productivity at Pre-Vietstock 2026 Seminar
Industry experts explore evolving mycotoxin risks, pesticide residues and science-based strategies to protect animal health and production performance.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam | 20 October 2026
Algebra Bio, in collaboration with its Vietnamese business partner Min An, successfully organised a technical seminar at the Grand Hotel Saigon ahead of Vietstock 2026, bringing together livestock producers, feed manufacturers and industry professionals to discuss emerging challenges in feed safety and animal productivity.
The seminar, themed around hidden threats in livestock production, highlighted the increasing complexity of mycotoxin contamination, the often-overlooked risks associated with pesticide residues, and the importance of adopting scientifically validated mitigation strategies.
Understanding the Changing Landscape of Feed Contamination
Keynote speaker Dr Jayaraman, an international poultry health and productivity expert, shared his extensive industry experience and research findings on the evolving challenges of mycotoxins and pesticide residues in animal feed.
He emphasised that mycotoxin contamination is rarely a single-toxin problem. Multiple mycotoxins, changing contamination patterns and interactions between toxic compounds can create significant challenges for livestock health and production efficiency.
Importantly, some production problems traditionally attributed to nutrition or management may also involve underlying exposure to toxic substances.
Dr Jayaraman also highlighted the growing recognition of pesticide residues as an additional feed safety concern, reinforcing the need for regular risk assessment and appropriate mitigation strategies.
Beyond Conventional Mycotoxin Binding
Representing Algebra Bio, Dr Lee shared the company’s technical and commercial experience accumulated over the past decade across Asian livestock markets.
His presentation highlighted geographical and seasonal variations in contamination risks and the importance of selecting mitigation solutions supported by reliable scientific evidence.
Particular attention was given to Xpel™ and Xpel Spectra™, Algebra Bio’s mycotoxin management solutions, including their potential role in the selective binding of certain pesticide residues.
Dr Lee also emphasised the importance of interpreting laboratory binding results carefully and considering in vivo evidence when evaluating product efficacy and practical performance.
The discussion reinforced an important message: effective feed safety management requires more than simply selecting a conventional mycotoxin binder. Product selectivity, biological performance and potential interactions with nutrients and medications should also be considered.
Strengthening Technical Collaboration in Vietnam
The seminar provided an opportunity for Algebra Bio and Min An to engage directly with Vietnamese livestock producers and feed manufacturers, exchanging practical experiences and discussing challenges affecting animal health and production efficiency.
Audience discussions included mycotoxin management in aquaculture, criteria for selecting effective toxin binders and the importance of evidence-based solutions.
Through its collaboration with Min An, Algebra Bio is introducing Xpel and Xpel Spectrato the Vietnamese market, supported by technical knowledge, research and practical industry experience.
Supporting Safer Feed and More Productive Livestock
As the livestock industry continues to face evolving feed contamination challenges, Algebra Bio remains committed to working with its regional partners to provide innovative, science-based solutions that support animal health, feed safety and sustainable production performance.
The seminar provided a valuable platform for technical exchange ahead of Vietstock 2026 and strengthened collaboration between Algebra Bio, Min An and Vietnam’s livestock industry.
