Dr Kowsigaraj Palanisamy from EW Nutrition presented comparative efficacy data at ICPIH 2026 in Istanbul, evaluating antimicrobial gut health additives in broilers through MicrobeLink imaging signals. Our image-based platform predicts microbiome and metabolite profiles directly from fecal sample images, bringing real-time microbiome monitoring to commercial poultry production at scale.

At HORAIZON we are opening two new lines of work that matter to everyday health: supplements and the microbiome, and neural health monitoring. These directions extend our core image-based analysis technology into consumer health and wellness applications, bridging the gap between clinical research and practical daily use.

Commercial trials of AquaGut technology are advancing in the aquaculture sector. Our image-based gut microbiome assessment translates standardized fecal smears into rapid, actionable insights for fish health. Value creation in fish farming relies heavily on gut integrity, and AquaGut offers a practical tool for monitoring it in real time.

After years of making feed decisions based on laboratory trials, real-time microbiome monitoring provides a simple and actionable proxy for gut health in livestock production. This enables more responsive and data-driven nutrition management at scale.

Gut health is not just about digestion. It is a window into stress, resilience and early indicators of systemic health. Image-based microbiome monitoring makes it possible to track these signals rapidly and non-invasively, turning complex biology into actionable guidance for clinicians and individuals alike.

The gut and the brain are in constant conversation. That dialogue is a well-described physiological axis with measurable biomarkers. Monitoring the gut microbiome through simple image-based analysis offers a practical window into neural health and cognitive resilience.

Across species, the microbiome is a crucial driver of health and resilience. In companion animals, understanding gut microbial composition can support better nutrition, early detection of imbalances and more personalized veterinary care. Our technology makes this accessible through simple image-based analysis.

HORAIZON and IPPM Clinic are applying MicrobeLink to support fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) care. IPPM Clinic is a leading provider of FMT in clinical practice, and MicrobeLink provides rapid image-based monitoring of microbial composition to guide treatment decisions and track patient outcomes.

At HORAIZON Technology we completed our contribution to ANTENA, an MIT-AiNed R&D project with Summa Biotech. Our objective was to apply AI to clinical trial design for an RNA therapy in ischemic heart failure by identifying the study population most likely to benefit through biological signal enrichment.

We are partnering to explore how image-based microbiome insights can support people living with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and other endocrine conditions. Metabolic Center for Wellness, led by Dr. Angela Mazza, treats thyroid disease, hormonal imbalance and other endocrine disorders with a focus on wellness and longevity.

Our latest peer-reviewed publication in Nature Scientific Reports demonstrates that image-guided analysis of fecal smears can effectively monitor microbial composition and diversity in human cohorts, validating MicrobeLink as a rapid, non-invasive alternative to traditional sequencing methods.

We are excited to announce a collaboration with Dr. Jesus Alberto Acosta Camargo and the team at Novus International on nursery pig nutrition research. The focus is on understanding how specific nutritional interventions shape gut microbial composition and what that means for animal performance and health using our MicrobeLink and AgriBiome platforms.

Our new paper CausalBiome-I extends causal inference to discover microbial partnerships that drive disease. Traditional methods rank microbes individually, but our approach reveals second-order interactions where bacteria that seem harmless alone conspire together to influence conditions like Type 2 Diabetes.

We are partnering with Asahi Biosciences to bring image-based microbiome monitoring to livestock health and nutrition. In modern animal production, traditional performance metrics have been largely optimized. The gut microbiome represents a new frontier for understanding feed efficiency, resilience and overall animal performance across species.

HORAIZON and STIM are collaborating to apply image-based microbiome analysis to aquaculture. Our patented approach translates a standardized fecal smear and a smartphone image into quantitative insights on microbial composition, supporting healthier fish and more sustainable production systems.

In microbiome analysis, the conventional approach borrows from clinical chemistry: measure a value, compare it to a reference range and flag deviations. Ranking models offer a more principled framework for interpreting complex microbial communities where individual thresholds are less meaningful than relative composition and context.

FishSens Magazine recently featured our work on AquaGut, the HORAIZON aquaculture program for rapid gut microbiome assessment from fecal smears. AquaGut translates a standardized smear and smartphone image into actionable insights for fish health and production management.

We are excited to share a new collaboration between HORAIZON and The Functional Gut Clinic. Together we will be using our MicrobeLink technology to support gut health monitoring, bringing image-based microbiome insights to clinical gastroenterology practice.

Across Europe there is a growing focus on sustainable agriculture and on technologies that can improve animal health and efficiency while reducing environmental impact. The gut microbiome is one of the most important and underutilized signals in modern livestock management, and HORAIZON is working to make it accessible and actionable.
