Introduction and objective
The ban or more limited utilization of antibiotics growth promoters in many countries has reduced the tools to control gut microflora. In this context, a synthetic ion exchanged clay under a patented process (B-Safe), was developed and is proposed as an alternative to antibiotics to help in the gut microflora management.
In vitro and in vivo trials were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of B-Safe to improve gut microflora control and its zootechnical consequences.

Materials and methods
In Vitro
In Vivo
Results
In Vitro Inhibition curve
% of birds in each class of foot-pad lesion score
European efficiency factor 1-42 day
Conclusion
B-Safe is able to control pathogenic bacteria in animal gut and can then improve animal performance and welfare when stocking conditions are similar to field conditions.
