ICEN a natural solution to support gut health and performance in broiler chickens

Digestive imbalances linked to the presence ofEnterococcus orE. coli represent a real challenge in poultry farming. In certain situations, these bacteria can disrupt the intestinal flora, weakening the animals and impacting their growth performance.

Assessing animal performance and comfort

The trial was carried out on a conventional farm facing recurrentEnterococcus andE. coli contamination.

• 1 kg/T in Starter crumb feed (D0 to D10)
• 1 kg/T in pelleted growth feed (D20 to D28)
  - Monitoring the presence ofEnterococcus and E. coli at different stages
  - Measuring average daily gain (ADG ) at D35
  - Evaluating lameness score (from 0 to 2, where 2 corresponds to the most severe lameness)

Results

The useICEN led to significant results in terms of poultry health and performance:

A marked reduction in severe lameness, reflecting improved locomotor integrity.

A higher GMQ at D35, indicating better feed conversion and muscle deposition.

These results confirm that incorporatingICEN an early age promotes optimal intestinal development, improving both digestive health and overall well-being in animals.

Conclusion

Thanks to its action on the balance of the microbiota and the protection of the intestinal mucosa, ICEN helps to:
• Limit digestive disorders linked to E. coli and Enterococcus,
• Improve growth performance,
• Promote comfort and mobility in poultry.

A natural solution, leaving no residue and with no waiting time, perfectly suited to the requirements of efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly poultry production—in line with the philosophy of Biodevas Laboratoires.
