Performance Enhancers - Genex Poultry

The uncertain future of anti-microbial digestive enhancers in poultry feeds led Optivite to conduct detailed Research and Development programmes to investigate alternative solutions. The range of Genex Poultry products has been developed as a result of this work.

Genex Poultry products are naturally derived feed treatments designed for all types of poultry that protect the nutritive value of feed, promote optimal digestibility and encourage maximum expression of genetic potential.

Genex Poultry's antimicrobial treatment of the feed reduces the potential for growth and multiplication of harmful bacteria in the crop and gastrointestinal tract. This reduces the possibility of disease and improves the profile of the gut microflora, therefore aiding performance and giving increased flock uniformity.

In addition to the control of bacteria, Genex Poultry has proven effects against moulds and yeasts in feed.

Successful comparisons have been made against the most popular antibiotic digestive enhancers. The performance of feeds containing Genex Poultry has been as good as and often better than these products in a wide range of farm environments. Furthermore, feeds containing both Genex Poultry and antibiotic digestive enhancers have yielded enhanced performance with significant cost benefits.

Key benefits include: -

• Fewer days to slaughter in chicken through growth improvement of up to 80 grams at 2.5 kg liveweight
• Improved feed conversion in chicken meat birds by up to 0.05 at 2.5 kg liveweight.
• Improved breast meat percentage of up to 0.6%
• Improved calcium retention, shell strength and egg weight in laying hens.
  The continual improvement of Genex Poultry products has led to the development of specific products for different stages of poultry production:
• Genex Poultry for chicken meat production and layers
• Genex Game for feeding to all game species
