Poultry solutions
In poultry production, the two biggest levers are gut health and feed conversion. Pelleting temperature, however, is the most critical process step determining the efficacy of probiotics — which is why the strains we use are spore-forming.

Challenges we address
Heat Stress & Pellet Loss
High temperatures during pelleting inactivate non-spore-forming probiotics, while in the summer months heat stress reduces performance.
- Decline in feed intake and live weight
- Deterioration in egg production and shell quality
- Increase in mortality
Antibiotic-Free Production (AGP Phase-Out)
With the ban on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), producers have had to look for alternatives without suffering a loss of performance.
- FCR deterioration after AGP withdrawal
- Risk of necrotic enteritis and dysbacteriosis
- Residue issues in export markets
Gut Health & Performance
When gut integrity is compromised, feed efficiency falls, carcass yield declines and disease pressure rises.
- Wet litter and abnormal dropping consistency
- Carcass loss and a non-uniform flock
- Deterioration in feed conversion ratio
Eggshell Quality & Breeder Performance
In breeder and layer flocks, the proportion of broken eggs is a direct loss of revenue.
- Increase in the proportion of broken and cracked eggs
- Reduction in shell thickness
- Decline in egg production
Phosphorus Cost & Environmental Load
Because phytate phosphorus in cereals cannot be digested, both ration cost increases and phosphorus is released into the environment in the manure.
- High inorganic phosphorus cost
- Manure-borne phosphorus pollution
- Pressure from regional environmental legislation
