Syrian Poultry Farm Increases Profits by 34% with MICROBE-LIFT Technology - Case Study
Location: Poultry Farm, Syria
Background: The idea of using MICROBE-LIFT® in poultry production was encouraged by fact that many international manufacturers of veterinarian products have recently introduced feed additives containing various forms of live bacteria. These probiotic products, which usually contain a short list of non-beneficial remaining after the food moves down the digestive track. As the bacteria contained in MICROBE-LIFT ® play the same role when used on the solid surfaces (walls, pipes, floors, etc.) of stables, barns and food processing plants, it was logical to think that the non-pathological bacteria consortium in our products would be worth studying in this capacity.
This effort was supported by the fact that MICROBE-LIFT® was used successfully in shrimp farm trials in the USA and Taiwan a few years ago, and the results of these trials on increasing growth, individual weight, and reduction of feed were quite astonishing.
Objective:
This trial was designed to determine the effect of MICROBE-LIFT ® usage on poultry production through:
- Adding MICROBE-LIFT ® to the birds drinking water in order to minimize the effects of non-beneficial bacteria in birds intestine and stomach, with the goal of reducing the mortality rate and improving the birds overall health.
- Spraying MICROBE-LIFT® on the floors of the barns, thus eliminating the various gases produced by the chickens’ manure, to improve environmental conditions, which in turn would result in healthier birds and increase over all production profits.
Benefit analysis was measured by tracking the following data:
- Mortality rate versus standard control.
- Weight of average chicken versus standard control.
- Feed conversion coefficient versus standard control.
