Case: Animal health
Healthier feeds at lower cost
How biosolutions are helping farmers produce protein more efficiently.
Farmers can produce 3% more food from the same amount of feed
Our biosolution improves the gut health of broilers so they can better access the nutrients in feed. This is unique technology for feed additives and allows farmers to use less feed in their production of affordable proteins.
The challenge
When tradition turns to innovation
As the global population grows, the demand for high-quality, affordable protein sources increases. Poultry farmers especially face significant hurdles in meeting this demand. With feed costs accounting for up to 70% of total production expenses, improving feed efficiency is crucial for economic reasons. Traditional methods of enhancing broiler growth and health have reached their limits, calling for innovative solutions that can address both productivity and environmental concerns.
The solution
Improving health, reducing feed
Novonesis has developed a biosolution specifically designed to improve gut functionality in broiler chickens. This novel feed additive works by removing bacterial cell debris from the chicken's intestine, allowing for better nutrient absorption. Unlike any other technology, our biosolution enhances the broilers' ability to digest feed more efficiently, promoting better growth while reducing the overall feed required.
The benefits
Producing more protein, efficiently
This biosolution offers many advantages for modern poultry farming. It helps farmers produce 3% more food from the same amount of feed, significantly cutting costs and improving efficiency. The biosolution also works in harmony with the chicken's natural digestive processes, supporting better agricultural practices. Through improving feed efficiency, it helps farmers meet the growing demand for protein-rich chicken meat while reducing costs and carbon footprint.
