Exciting news from our research partners at the University of New England!
A new peer-reviewed study published in Poultry Science demonstrates how Ventar D can meaningfully mitigate the impact of Necrotic Enteritis in broilers.
Key highlights from the study:
- Improved body weight gain, feed intake & FCR (d10–35)
- Reduced duodenal lesions & improved villus height/crypt depth ratio
- Shifted NE-related mortality and inflammation markers toward non-challenged levels
- Higher European Production Efficiency Factor (EPEF)
Necrotic Enteritis costs the global poultry industry an estimated $6 billion annually. This research adds to the growing body of evidence that phytogenic solutions can be powerful, natural tools in antibiotic-free production systems.
