FROM LAB TO FARM
EGGSHELL MICROBIOME
AGRITX-F65 is a proprietary blend of pre/probiotics, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals designed to enhance the eggshell microbiome for fertilized avian eggs.
01: IMPROVED HATCH RATE
Broiler Breeder flocks were matched for age, fertility, and expected hatch (~25,000 eggs per group).
AGRITX improved HATCH by >2%
and HATCH OF FERTILE by >3%.
02: IMPROVED CHICK QUALITY + HEALTH ON DAY ONE
- Improved immune response at hatch as measured by cytokine expression
- Improved gut barrier function measured by Heterophil / Lymphocyte ratio
03: IMPROVED LIVABILITY
Four commercial broiler farms were followed using a split farm design to evaluate field performance in flocks raised to 8 weeks of age.
Two houses were placed as CONTROL houses (>300,000 chicks total) and two as AGRITX houses (>300,000 chicks total).
The CONTROL houses experienced higher weekly and cumulative mortality compared to the AGRITX houses. (Most mortality is attributed to E. coli and E. cecorum.)
