Revolutionizing Gut Health and Performance
The intestinal well-being of poultry reverberates throughout their systemic health, animal welfare, production efficiency, food safety, and environmental footprint. With the prohibition of antimicrobial growth promoters due to resistance concerns, mitigating necrotic and bacterial enteritis has become increasingly crucial. Coccidiosis, a common issue, lays the foundation for sound gut health. Balancing the use of ionophores and chemical anticoccidials through rotation prevents necrotic enteritis risk, though prudence is required to avoid resistance. As antimicrobial resistance takes center stage, the search for alternatives to antimicrobial growth promoters gains momentum.
