NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2023 Three new poultry studies were unveiled at the Poultry Science Association (PSA) Annual Meeting 2023 in Philadelphia. The new studies focused on probiotic strains dedicated to poultry feeding, showing benefits in specific challenges of the poultry sector: coccidiosis challenge, necrotic enteritis challenge, and egg and bone mineralization in extended laying cycles. Audrey Sacy, poultry applications manager at Lallemand Animal Nutrition, commented: "We are very proud to present three trials conducted thanks to partnerships with leading international experts in renowned poultry research stations such as the University of Thessaloniki in Greece. This is already our third participation in a major poultry congress this year and not the last, with research spanning many areas of challenges for modern poultry production such as coccidiosis, microbiota establishment, inflammation, egg quality, bone mineralization, gut health, pullet quality, necrotic enteritis challenges." "Our poultry research strategy today is to keep investing in main poultry production challenges working with key opinion leaders, while also supporting field trials in commercial conditions close to the end-users. We also focus on developing onfarm practical tools to monitor visible signs in these field trials," she added.
