KENT Nutrition’s ARGIS Showcased at IPPE New Product Exhibition
KENT® Nutrition, a recognized leader in science-driven animal nutrition solutions, has announced that its innovative probiotic product, ARGIS®, will be featured in the New Product Showcase at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2026. The highly anticipated industry event will take place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing together global leaders, producers, suppliers, and innovators across the poultry, meat, and animal feed industries.
Attendees at IPPE 2026 will have the opportunity to explore ARGIS® in the Discovery Zone at Booth BC36119, where the product is highlighted as part of the event’s prestigious New Product Showcase. This showcase honors exhibitors who have developed groundbreaking products, services, or operational technologies that offer measurable advancements and improvements to the industry. Being selected for inclusion underscores the significance of ARGIS® as a next-generation solution designed to improve feed utilization, animal health, and overall production performance.
A Next-Generation Probiotic for Modern Livestock Nutrition
ARGIS® represents a major advancement in probiotic feed additives, specifically formulated to unlock the full nutritional value of soybean meal in poultry and swine diets. Soybean meal remains one of the most widely used protein sources in animal feed worldwide, but its nutritional efficiency is often limited by naturally occurring compounds that reduce digestibility. ARGIS® addresses this challenge by targeting non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs)—complex plant compounds that can interfere with nutrient absorption and feed conversion.
By breaking down NSPs more effectively, ARGIS® enhances nutrient digestibility and improves the bioavailability of essential nutrients. This targeted mode of action helps animals extract greater nutritional benefit from existing feed ingredients, enabling producers to maximize feed efficiency while reducing waste and improving cost-effectiveness.
Reducing Dependence on Multiple Feed Enzymes
One of ARGIS®’s most notable advantages is its ability to reduce or replace the need for multiple individual exogenous enzymes typically added to feed formulations. Conventional feeding programs often rely on a blend of enzymes to improve digestibility, which can increase formulation complexity and production costs.
ARGIS® simplifies this approach by delivering probiotic-driven performance benefits that replicate and enhance enzyme activity, offering a more streamlined and cost-efficient feeding solution. This innovation can help feed manufacturers and livestock producers optimize feed programs without sacrificing performance, making ARGIS® an attractive option in a market increasingly focused on efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability.
Engineered for Durability in Real-World Feed Conditions
In addition to its functional benefits, ARGIS® has been engineered to perform reliably under the challenging conditions common in commercial feed production. The probiotic is heat tolerant, allowing it to maintain viability during pelleting and other high-temperature feed processing methods that often degrade sensitive biological additives.
ARGIS® is also designed to remain effective in lower pH environments, such as those encountered in the digestive tract. This ensures the probiotic survives long enough to deliver consistent performance benefits once ingested by poultry or swine. These durability features make ARGIS® especially well-suited for modern large-scale feed operations where processing stability and product consistency are critical.
Supporting Healthier, More Productive Poultry
Beyond feed efficiency, ARGIS® plays a key role in promoting gut health, which is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of animal productivity and welfare. By improving digestive function and nutrient absorption, the probiotic contributes to stronger immune responses, healthier gut microflora, and improved overall bird vitality.
Healthier digestive systems translate into better growth performance, stronger feed conversion ratios, and reduced production variability, ultimately benefiting producers through improved profitability and more predictable flock performance. ARGIS® aligns with industry efforts to reduce reliance on antibiotics and support more natural, sustainable approaches to livestock management.
Backed by Patent Protection and Scientific Innovation
ARGIS® is protected under U.S. Patent US20220347234A1, reinforcing KENT Nutrition’s commitment to innovation and proprietary research. This patent ensures that the product’s unique formulation and performance characteristics remain exclusive, safeguarding its competitive advantage in the marketplace.
KENT Nutrition emphasizes that ARGIS® is the result of extensive scientific research, laboratory validation, and practical field testing. The company continues to invest in innovation and data-driven product development, positioning itself as a trusted partner for producers seeking reliable, performance-focused nutrition solutions.
Industry Recognition at IPPE 2026
The inclusion of ARGIS® in the IPPE New Product Showcase represents an important milestone for KENT Nutrition. The showcase recognizes exhibitors whose products demonstrate exceptional potential to advance industry standards, improve productivity, and drive meaningful innovation.
“ARGIS represents a major step forward in poultry nutrition,” said Kale Causemaker, Senior Director of Innovative Solutions at KENT Nutrition. “Being featured in the IPPE New Product Showcase gives us an incredible opportunity to demonstrate how this patented probiotic is helping producers improve feed efficiency, enhance animal performance, and achieve better economic outcomes.”
Causemaker further noted that ARGIS® reflects KENT Nutrition’s broader mission to develop cutting-edge, science-backed technologies that address evolving industry challenges, including rising feed costs, sustainability pressures, and growing consumer demand for responsibly produced animal protein.
Connecting with Producers and Industry Leaders at Booth A1059
In addition to the Discovery Zone showcase, KENT Nutrition will maintain a dedicated presence at Booth A1059, where visitors can engage directly with company experts, learn more about ARGIS®, and explore additional nutrition solutions tailored to poultry and livestock production.
At the booth, attendees will have access to technical resources, product demonstrations, performance data, and expert insights on how ARGIS® can be integrated into commercial feed programs. The company aims to use IPPE 2026 as a platform to strengthen relationships with producers, feed manufacturers, integrators, and industry stakeholders seeking innovative, results-driven nutrition strategies.
Addressing Global Challenges in Feed Efficiency and Sustainability
As global demand for animal protein continues to rise, the livestock industry faces mounting pressure to improve feed efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance production sustainability. Feed accounts for a significant portion of production costs and is a major driver of environmental footprint in poultry and swine operations.
By improving nutrient utilization and reducing waste, ARGIS® supports more sustainable feed strategies that can help producers lower resource consumption while maintaining or improving output levels. These benefits align with broader global efforts to build resilient, efficient, and environmentally responsible food systems.
Strengthening KENT Nutrition’s Leadership in Animal Nutrition Innovation
KENT Nutrition’s presentation of ARGIS® at IPPE 2026 reinforces its position as a leader in innovative animal nutrition technologies. The company continues to expand its portfolio of probiotics, feed additives, and nutritional solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of modern livestock producers.
