Field comparisons of two natural product alternatives to a commercial antibiotic growth promotant (AGP) program in broilers

Published: March 17, 2020
Summary
    Phytogenic compounds, probiotics and organic acids are used in broiler feeds as an option to AGPs due to their ability to emulate properties of antibiotics. This study’s goal was to compare a field AGP (virginiamycin 100 g/MT) program (T1) with two antibiotic free programs: Lactococcus based probiotic+yeast MOS+a blend of Italian Chestnut-C/Argentine Quebracho-Q bio...

Dear Asharf Shalaby The extracts are commercial products based in a blend of vegetal extracts (polyphenols). It was used in 0.5-1 Kg/ton but recommended doses depends on your particular challenge. This is not a new alternative, it has been used for more than 10 years now but this trial was used to compare cost/efficacy benefits of using just this phytochemical alternative. I strongly suggest to switch AGP programs to any of the available alternatives that would produce you similar benefits. Please let me know any question that you would have.

How does it compare with a Carvacrol/Oregano and Cinnamaldegyde mix?
