Reduce the reliance on antibiotic growth promotors (AGP) to overcome the antimicrobial resistance and ensure safer food

Why is it important?

Growing concerns of antimicrobial resistance, market demand, and regulatory changes have led many countries to reduce or completely remove the use of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs).
Although many countries no longer allow the use of AGPs, few still rely on their effects of disease mitigation and nutrient absorption, and are trying to reduce their reliance on antimicrobials.
With removal of antimicrobials, the health and nutritional challenges that could be of gut origin have become prominent in poultry operations.

How to maximize the potential?

Find effective alternatives for antimicrobials including AGPs.
Reduce the reliance on antimicrobials and AGPs by either totally replacing them or lowering their inclusion with the help of an effective and natural alternative solution.

dsm-firmenich solutions

A synbiotic supports competitive exclusion and intestinal integrity which reduces the incidence of pathogen colonization.
A novel precision-biotic redirects protein away from opportunistic pathogens and towards productive microbial protein metabolism.
An essential-oil blend stimulates digestive function and antimicrobial activity.
Degrading bacterial cell debris in the gut wall blocking nutrient absorption with a novel muramidase supports optimal gut health and feed efficiency.
A precision monitoring system using blood biomarkers can help predict gut dysbiosis and gut integrity challenges as well as any causative pathogens.

We recommend ensuring Optimum Vitamin Nutrition and a comprehensive mycotoxin risk management program as baseline in all Poultry diets. Precise sustainability measures can help reduce the environmental footprint while ensuring lifetime production.
