Patented alkyl esters of medium chain fatty acids are enhancing broiler gut health and performance

Abstract

Strong gut health plays a vital role in reducing disease incidence and achieving optimal broiler performance and farm results. While antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) have been widely used in flocks, more and more bans on the use of AGP's and growing concerns about antimicrobial resistance are driving a strong need for gut health supporting feed additives.
