Mortality and Growth Performance of Broilers Given Drinking Water Supplemented with Chicken-Specific Probiotics
For application in broiler production, we developed a multispecies (MSPB) and a chicken-specific (CSPB) probiotic preparation in fluid form. The MSPB contained different probiotic species of human origin, whereas the CSPB consisted of 7 Lactobacillus species isolated from the digestive tract of chickens.
In a field trial with broilers, MSPB treatment resulted in a slightincrease (by 1.84%) in broiler productivity based on an index taking into account daily weight gain, feed... read more »

Effects of Drinking Water Treatment on Susceptibility of Laying Hens to Salmonella enteritidis During Forced Molt
Feed deprivation is used in the layer industry to induce molting and stimulate multiple egg-laying cycles in laying hens. Unfortunately, the stress involved increases susceptibility to Salmonella enteritidis (SE), the risk of SE-positive eggs, and incidence of SE in internal organs. read more >
Poultry health through nutrition
Organic selenium has proven to be superior to inorganic forms. Organic Se from yeast is approved for use in animal nutrition in most countries and is beneficial to bird health and performance. The role of selenium (Se) in animal and human nutrition has been explained in the May issue of World Poultry. read more >
New phytases make more sustainable production
New-generation phytases will play an increasing and vital role in helping poultry producers to stay ahead of tightening economic pressure and environmental standards by further reducing feed costs and minimising waste. read more >
Corn as a feed ingredient
During the past four years, Danisco Animal Nutrition has collected and analysed over 2,000 corn samples from more than 30 countries, the results of which highlight variations of up to 15% in nutrient content and starch digestibility. These results shatter the long-standing myth surrounding corn’s consistent feed value, and have substantial economic implications for poultry producers. read more >
