GUSTOR BP-70 and broiler performance

Gustor BP-70 is based on sodium butyrate with a specific fat coating allowing the active ingredients to reach the distal sections of the digestive tract, not only acting as a natural growth promoter but also reducing the levels of pathogenic bacteria, especially Salmonella.

Previous research has shown that Gustor BP-70 efficiently stops the spreading of Salmonella in a flock.

Recently, we conducted a field trial with a large company in South East Asia. The test involved a total of 8 houses with 21,000 broilers per house.

Gustor BP-70 was used at 1.25 kg per MT in prestarter and starter feeds (1 to 21 days) and 1 kg per MT from 21 days onwards. The trial lasted for 33 days (until first harvest). Final weight of the birds was not different between control and experimental groups (1% higher for Gustor BP-70) but the use of Gustor BP-70 allowed a constant improvement of FCR during the trial (see graph) with almost 60 grams of feed saved per bird.
