  • Improved livestock monitoring
  • Reliable assessment of pathogen load
  • Non-invasive analysis
Evonik releases a new service product group that enables poultry producers to improve livestock production by monitoring the microbial status of entire flocks. ScreenFloX® is the only environmental screening system that non-invasively quantifies the levels of certain pathogens, including Clostridium perfringens, from an entire flock with a confidence exceeding 90%.

The ScreenFloX® platform comprises a broad range of tests and is designed to help veterinarians, livestock production managers and farmers make smarter decisions to ensure animal well-being and food safety.
Dr. Christoph Kobler, Head of Product Line Sustainable Healthy Nutrition from Evonik said: “Current common practice in animal diagnostics involves testing individual animals using invasive methods. This includes necropsy, histopathology and confirmatory testing which can easily take several days and are expensive.
“ScreenFloX® is an environmental screening system that enables poultry producers to detect levels of different pathogens for the entire flock using an unbiased, non-invasive method. The goal of using ScreenFloX® is to optimize overall livestock production through an ‘early warning system’. This gives producers the chance to react before it is too late to adjust the production process.”
The ScreenFloX® platform can perform multiple tests using a single sample and with minimal additional effort. Combining environmental screenings for avian and human pathogens saves costs and time for poultry producers.
