ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE January 2025 27 innovative research efforts, both in vitro and in vivo, went into the development of the right combination with desirable benefits. After developing the product, the benefits were systematically evaluated under a wide range of conditions, such as controlled research conditions, semi-commercial trials (research pens set up inside commercial chicken houses), and under real-world commercial conditions. In addition to that, the modes of action of the product were further explored using advanced analytical tools. PROVEN BENEFITS TO BROILERS ACROSS ALL GROWTH PHASES More than 15 independent trials were conducted under three different conditions, controlled research, semi-commercial, and commercial conditions to evaluate the performance benefits of the product. On average across the independent trials, birds fed with Biostrong™ Dual at 0.4kg/MT showed significant improvement in performance with respect to body weight (3.5% improvement), adjusted cumulative feed conversion ratio, cFCR (5 points reduction) and breast meat yield (1.53% increase). Interestingly, dietary inclusion of Biostrong™ Dual improved body weight (Figure 1) and cFCR (Figure 2) throughout the grow-out period with consistent benefits at different ages of the birds. In addition to that, the performance within each period was also significantly improved in Biostrong™ Dual-fed birds (Figure 3). Overall, this data clearly shows the benefits of Biostrong™ Dual in supporting broiler performance during all stages of growth, resulting in birds with higher market weight. ↓7 pts ↓5 pts ↓4 pts ↓5 pts Age of birds (days) 1,7 1,6 1,5 1,4 1,3 1,2 1,1 0-14d cFCR 0-28d Control * * * * Biostrong Dual * in the graphs indicate significant difference (P<0.05) 0-35d 0-42d Figure 2.
