HEALTHIER CHICKENS."Feeding diets containing the probiotic were significantly (P < 0.01) increasing the average daily gain during the experimental period compared to the control. During the experimental period, feeding the diet containing probiotic significantly reduce the counts of total viable bacteria (P < 0.01)." http://lnkd.in/dr-kZ4P View in LinkedIn

HEALTHIER CHICKENS."Feeding diets containing the probiotic were significantly (P < 0.01) increasing the average daily gain during the experimental period compared to the control. This increase was partially accounted with increased feed intake. During the experimental period, feeding the diet containing probiotic significantly reduce the counts of total viable bacteria (P < 0.01)." http://lnkd.in/dr-kZ4P View in LinkedIn

POULTRY PROBIOTICS. "With increasing concerns about antibiotic resistance, there is increasing interest in finding alternatives to antibiotics for poultry production. Natural feed additives, such as live “probiotics” have potential to reduce enteric disease in poultry and subsequent contamination of poultry products." http://www.scopemed.org/?mno=27707 View in LinkedIn

NO BYPRODUCTS. "Perdue Farms has eliminated the use of animal byproducts, such as fat, in chicken feed, after finding that chickens appeared to stay healthier on a vegetarian diet ... It now vaccinates its chickens against a wider array of diseases. It experimented with herbal remedies." http://lnkd.in/dGuPnrz View in LinkedIn

"PERDUE FARMS has not gone completely antibiotic-free, but it has reduced or eliminated some uses of antibiotics in its operations ... that has forced the company to search for new ways to keep chickens healthy, which is where probiotics come in. The idea is, all these "good bacteria" can crowd out the harmful microbes that make a chicken sick." http://lnkd.in/dGuPnrz View in LinkedIn

PROBIOTICS NOT ANTIBIOTICS. "Over the past five years, Purdue has increased the amount of probiotics in their chicken feed by five times. The company is now vowing to restrict use of antibiotics to sick chickens only, leaving the vast majority, about 95 percent, to be raised without antibiotics." Surprising and welcomed leadership. http://lnkd.in/dKPUCaj View in LinkedIn

SLOW SEA CHANGE. "For more than 50 years, antibiotics have been routinely used to prevent or control poultry diseases and to promote growth and feed efficiency. But due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Europe has banned the use of antibiotics as growth promoters for poultry production while some countries, such as the United States, are considering a ban." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/140702102214.htm View in LinkedIn

NEW ALTERNATIVES. "With the number of bacteria-resistant diseases on the rise and the length of time it takes to develop new antibiotics, it might be time to consider another alternative: Probiotics." http://www.jigsawhealth.com/resources/probiotics-new-antibiotics View in LinkedIn

A BRANCH IN THE ROAD. "Unlike antibiotics, which means “to destroy life,” probiotics literally means “life giving.” In more practical terms, antibiotics destroy without prejudice — killing the bad bacteria that can cause infection, while also destroying the good bacteria that help fight infection. Probiotics, on the other hand, re-populate the good bacteria that can help kill the bad bacteria and fight infection." http://www.jigsawhealth.com/resources/probiotics-new-antibiotics View in LinkedIn
