Delacon - Model Biostrong 510 -Poultry Feed
The power of nature - proven: Biostrong™ 510 allows safe and sustainable poultry production without the risk of residues in meat or eggs. Selected combinations of ingredients like essential oils, saponins, spices and bitter substances in Biostrong 510 contribute to improvements in feed efficiency and increased performance - thus reducing the production costs per kg of eggs or meat.
Did you know that up to 70% of poultry production costs are feed related? So, it´s obvious that the major focus for profitable poultry production is feed efficiency.
Improving nutrient utilization to optimize production performance in poultry is the most powerful success strategy in poultry production and still meets consumer demands and expectations from the market.
It is estimated that by 2050 the world`s population will rise to around ten billion people - this will increase the demand for poultry meat and eggs by approximately 70%. The low cost of poultry meat and eggs along with the absence of religious restrictions make this relatively cheap animal protein source the primary choice for consumers and driver for growth in total meat production. Modern poultry production is a highly sophisticated, integrated industry and its success depends strongly on expert management and pinpoint nutrition. In addition to maintaining the best possible laying and growth performance, product quality and food safety of meat and eggs are crucial for long-term leadership of the protein market.
The industry’s standard to measure production efficiency in poultry is the feed conversion ratio (FCR), expressing the amount of feed consumed per flock divided by the amount of live weight or kg eggs produced during a full production cycle. The lower the number, the more efficient feed conversion is. Today, a standard broiler chicken reared under good management conditions will have an FCR between 1.5 to 1.7. An FCR of 1.9 to 2.2 is common for laying hens.
Improving nutrient utilization and optimizing FCR in poultry is one of the most effective strategies to increase the profitability of poultry production. However, a variety of stressors affect gut health and nutrient utilization every day.
Balanced rations that supply the proper nutrient ratios per stage of production are a prerequisite for maintaining the consistent performance and stability of the digestive functions. The need-based formulation practices enable the efficient conversion of valuable nutritional components into best growth or laying performance. As such, the most effective strategy to reduce production cost and increase the profitability of poultry production is the improvement of nutrient utilization and the optimization of feed efficiency.
- Optimizes feed conversion ratio in broilers, promotes growth performance
- Enhances egg mass and laying rate in layers
Improving nutrient utilization and optimizing feed conversion in poultry is the most powerful strategy to boost and profitability in poltry production. Essential oils of BIOSTRONG 510 act in two ways: On the one hand, specific essential oils enhance the secretion of digestive juices. In synergy with bitter and pungent substances, BIOSTRONG 510 improves nutrient digestibility. On the other hand, essential oils scavenge reactive oxygen species or increase the expression of endogenous anti-oxidant enzymes and, consequently, reduce oxidative stress in birds. Moreover, the saponins used in BIOSTRONG 510 help to reduce ammonia formation, thus resulting in a significant reduction of ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions.
BIOSTRONG 510 uses synergistic effects of selected ingredients to improve feed conversion in poultry and performance of broilers, layers, ducks or turkeys – it reduces your production costs per produced egg or kg of meat.
In 2017, Delacon achieved a registration as a zootechnical feed additive for BIOSTRONG 510 EC. Our phytogenic feed additive for poultry met highest validation standards approved by European authorities. EFSA and the European Committee confirmed that BIOSTRONG 510 EC has the potential to verifiably enhance performance of chickens for fattening. Amongst feed additives, the registration as a zootechnical registration is seen as the Scientific Gold Standard as it provides independent, objective scientific evidence of the product’s quality, efficacy and safety.
BIOSTRONG 510 can be applied either “on-top” in the feed ration or with our PERFORMIZER concept, applying nutritional matrix values for BIOSTRONG 510 in least cost formulation in order to directly reduce the overall feed price.
Moreover, Delacon is proud to provide BIOSTRONG 510 OFC, which is certified according to European organic guidelines. The certification by this independent control authority Austria Bio Garantie gives proof that our phytogenic feed additive meets highest standards of organic farming.
General dosage recommendation:
- Min. 150 g/MT (0.3 lb/t) of compound feed during the whole production period
