The digestive microbiota plays a central role in digestion and gut health. It is estimated that, in poultry, 5 to 30% of the total energy requirement is provided by the microbiota.

Energy is a major driver of feed costs in poultry production. Energy metabolism is influenced by many factors. The digestive microbiota plays a central role in digestion and gut health. It is estimated that, in poultry, between 5 to 30% of the total energy requirement is provided by the microbiota. Among probiotic solutions, the lactic acid-producing bacteria BACTOCELL is proven to help balance the gut microbiota through four, well-described mechanisms. Recent findings indicate how BACTOCELL enhances feed efficiency and energy utilization.

Thanks to this probiotic bacteria, laying hens extract more energy from the feed which is used to increase laying rates and/or feed efficiency. BACTOCELL represents an additional tool to manage ration costs for poultry production.
