From feed to shell: the role BACTOCELL in the Ca metabolism in mature laying hens

As the laying cycle progresses, eggs get bigger while calcium metabolism becomes disrupted. Keeping hens beyond 90 weeks emphasizes the necessity to manage eggshell quality throughout the cycle to avoid problems at end-of-lay. BACTOCELL can have beneficial effects on calcium metabolism, leading to an improvement in eggshell thickness and a reduction in rejected eggs.

The use of the specific probiotic bacteria Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM I-4622 (MA18/5M), BACTOCELL® improves feed efficiency by utilising sugars which are non-digestible for the bird and producing lactic acid. The lactic acid can be used as a digestible energy source for the bird, as well as reducing gut pH which limits the development of pathogens and favours beneficial bacteria population development, as well as dietary calcium absorption.
