Tested 7 different liver tonics randomly picked up from Indian market. All improved weight gain and body weight uniformity besides majority of the liver tonics improves both wings of immune responses in egg laying pullets at 18 weeks of age....yes liver care should be considered as strategic wise investment
Thank you Dr. Pooja. The story of this important and strong organ in the body is explained well in this well-organised presentations. We benefited from this wonderful work and shared it with our colleagues.
Our customers use Myco Ad manufactured by Special Nutrients and found very effective against myco toxins. We have been promoting this for almost 15 years and Venkys are the exclusive and major customer and market this to the poultries across India.

Most of some samples in our country (Burkina Faso) are not choline tolerated.
In that kind of situation, a shuttle program will be suitable? choline free feed on and after treatment choline feed?
Thank you very much
