Improving healthy performance.

Although the first use of probiotics dates back thousands of years, recognition of the benefits of probiotic use in poultry, swine and ruminant nutrition is a fairly recent phenomenon. Today DuPont Danisco Animal Nutrition combines its best in class microbiological capabilities, multiple research and innovation centers and extensive collaborative relationships with leading academic institutes, to develop the best offering to meet our customers’ needs. DuPont Danisco Animal Nutrition experts draw on decades of human and animal microbial research to develop multi-strain, highly stable Bacillus, Lactobacillus and silage probiotic solutions, that support gut balance and intestinal morphology throughout the production cycle.

Unpredictable pathogens are on the rise, due to the reduction or elimination of antibiotics in poultry production. Daily exposure to pathogens, such as Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfingens and Salmonella can lead to poor flock performance and livability. The energy that birds could direct toward growth must now be used to maintain health and overcome these challenges.

Feeding probiotic from day one helps to quickly establish a positive microbiota and guards against colonization by coliforms-enhancing both production and animal welfare. But not all probiotic strains have the same mode of action, work effectively against the same challenges or different birds in the same way. This is why it is beneficial to use a similarly diverse probiotic, with different strains.

Through an ongoing analysis, DuPont Danisco Animal Nutrition evaluates that Enviva® Pro is the best defense for the birds, as more than 80.000 guts from over 500 farms have been analyzed and it has been proved that Enviva Pro consistently delivers enhanced performance.
