Gut Acidification – The economic solution to antibiotic free production

Newsletter July 2019

Super Agri Science has established itself as the trusted supplier of economic gut health products to the industry.  We remain focused on health and production improvement products that allow poultry and pig producers and farmers to limit losses and improve production outputs under intensive livestock production systems.

The recent addition of UltiGro Feed Activator to our product range has extended our offering to the industry to cater for all requirements.  UltiGro Feed Activator is a buffered formic acid-based product that delivers a water pH of 3.5, at cost levels of 13.5 c per broiler per cycle or less depending on the farm’s water quality.  UltiGro Feed Activator is a continuous acidification product that is dosed through a dosing pump  directly into the drinker lines.

UltiGro Feed Activator will support high density feeding regimes for fast growing broiler birds.  Commercial farm results have shown an improvement in feed conversion and an increased rate of growth when compared to non-acidified birds.

A further advantage of gut acidification is the reduced risk of pathogens such as Salmonella.  UltiGro Feed Activator can therefore play an important part of any pathogen reduction program.
