Natural sugarcane feed material (Polygain™) matches antibiotics in a coccidiosis challenge trial
Polygain has the potential to reduce antibiotics in poultry production; as demonstrated by a recent trial involving over 500 broiler chickens, the feed conversion salinomycin and Polygain doses over 0.25% were similar.
Chickens perform better in heat stress conditions when fed Polygain
Polygain reduced the respiration rate (panting) and increased birds' average daily gain under heat stress conditions.
Better meat quality and shelf life in broiler chickens fed Polygain
Meat quality and shelf-life are increasingly crucial for the poultry meat supply chain. Polygain demonstrated an ability to extend breast meat's lipid stability, a determinate of shelf-life. More broadly, meat quality indicators improved, including tenderness and drip loss metrics.
Natural product (Polygain™) inhibits parasite responsible for Coccidiosis, a disease ravaging the poultry industry
Polygain significantly reduced the number of viable parasites across the most common six coccidia species. For each species, Polygain performed in line with the antibiotic salinomycin
