Dr. Christian began his talk by emphasizing the importance of gut health in poultry performance. He also demonstrated how the microbiome develops in the gut and its relevance.

Dr. Christian subsequently showed other efficacy studies of Acidomix® DF plus on layer and broiler birds conducted in multiple countries, including India. Acidomix DF Plus has an important role in lowering faecal pathogenic microbiota count, resulting in improved performance and reduced antibiotic use. Many investigations have demonstrated that lowering the faecal count of coliform bacteria reduces the danger of cross-infection and improve flock performance. Other broiler trials have demonstrated significant improvements in gut morphology. Acidomix® DF plus enhances nutrient digestion, resulting in enhanced egg quality and a lower number of damaged eggs. Dr. Christian articulated gut eubiosis and its correlation with intestinal immunity which becomes indispensible need for the bird heath today.
He closed his session by stating that gut health and high performance can be obtained without AGPs and with gut acidification with perfect gut acidifier like Acidomix® DF plus which can reach the small intestine at maximum concentration.
