NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2023 13 through a series of scenarios based on where to start, if they were to achieve a big impact. Professor Applegate followed with a review of the latest research outcomes on poultry microbiome balance, as studied concerning the use of current turbulent feed materials. Exploring the ‘macro’ effects of microbial metabolites in broiler nutrition; the effect of ‘indigestibility’ on intestinal and microbial response, and the impact and role of probiotics in the sector, Prof. Applegate drew particular attention to the vital relationship that exists between the maintenance of a balanced microbiome and successful poultry production. Dr. Kemperman explained the features and benefits of Phileo through Lesaffre’s exclusive 3-patent Germination Optimisation Technology® (GO Technology®), a state-of-the-art process designed to promote faster and stronger Bacillus spore germination. The GO Technology®, he told the gathering, maximizes the impact of Microsaf® within a short transit time of 4-6 hours, a time frame which has been proven to apply to most chickens. The session concluded with a review by Dr. Riggi of an extensive range of trial results focusing on the effect of Microsaf® on sustainable poultry production and emphasizing the efficacy of probiotics across such systems.
