Introduction:PhytoCare, formally under Precision Health Technologies, LLC, is a Minnesota-based biotechnology company headquartered in Worthington, MN. It specializes in all-natural, polyphenolic phytobiologic solutions targeted at improving livestock health—particularly gut health, hydration support, and recovery—for antibiotic-free animal production. Its products are marketed toward producers and veterinarians seeking natural enteric and skin care alternatives for species like swine, poultry, and ruminants
Solution:Core Value Proposition
PhytoCare’s formula is based on plant-extracted polyphenols designed to support:
Gut health & hydration: Stabilizing intestinal function during stress.
Recovery from enteric challenges: Reducing scours, dehydration, and production losses.
Skin repair: Accelerating healing and minimizing discomfort from lesions and abrasions
Flagship Products
PhytoCare DVM Concentrate – A veterinarian-formulated concentrate for use in swine and poultry waterlines. It promotes intestinal stability, hydration, and microbiome support via plant polyphenols containing green tea, pomegranate, and proprietary grape extracts—offering a prescription-based antibiotic-free care option
Producer Concentrate – Designed for swine producers, this GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe), FDA-compliant supplement supports gut stability and hydration while reducing mortality and scours in pig herds
Use Cases Across Species
PhytoCare’s product lines support multiple production scenarios across swine, poultry, ruminants, and show animals:
Gut health and growth support
Acute care & recovery scenarios
Topical skin repair
Stress mitigation during transport or environmental stress
Implementation:PhytoCare's protocols and product deployment involve:
Veterinarian-prescribed delivery: Products like DVM Concentrate are dispensed via waterline medicators at prescribed dilution levels depending on usage category (pulse, transitional, microbiome maintenance)
Tiered dosing protocols:
Pulse level (e.g. 16 oz/gal stock solution at 1:128) for acute gut health crises.
Transitional level (10–12 oz/gal) for mild stress or recovery.
Maintenance level (~1 oz/gal) for ongoing gut support
Compliance and safety: All formulations use GRAS components, comply with FDA standards, and are designed for use in antibiotic-free or no-antibiotic-ever (NAE) production systems
Results and Achievements:Evidence from Industry & Trials
Swine producers report real-world improvements: calmer show pigs, reduced stress, faster recovery in calves, and healthier gut outcomes in poultry. One Instagram anecdote: “This gilt was off feed… PhytoCare made the difference for us!”
LinkedIn and company updates share testimonials regarding reduced antibiotic needs and effective control of enteric disease outbreaks in livestock environments
A peer-reviewed preprint trial (Animals, 2021) evaluating a phytobiotic supplement (LiveXtract from Precision Health) in weaning pigs showed significant modulation of the gut microbiome—including elevated Lactobacillaceae (probiotic genera), lowered potential pathogens, and improved microbial balance over time through measurements of OTU shifts and metrics of microbial diversity
Conclusion:PhytoCare delivers natural, vet-formulated solutions aimed at enhancing livestock health without relying on antibiotics. Its main differentiators include polyphenol-based hydration and gut support, flexible dosing strategies, and alignment with antibiotic-free production practices. Supported by both producer feedback and scientific research validating microbiome-positive outcomes, PhytoCare presents a viable alternative for producers focused on resilience, animal welfare, and performance optimization.
