EKOSHIELD · BROILER

Hold the gut steady through grow-out.

Grow-out is where feed efficiency decides profitability. Stocking density, ration changes, heat and litter load all pull the intestinal community out of shape at exactly the point you need it working. EKOSHIELD Broiler is a pellet-stable additive that helps keep that community in balance for the length of the cycle.

HOW IT WORKS

Four things a stable gut community does for you.

These are the established modes of action for the organism classes in EKOSHIELD. They describe how the product is intended to work; they are not performance guarantees.

Maintains microbial diversity

A varied community is a resilient one, and resists being dominated when conditions turn.

Produces antimicrobial metabolites

Bacteriocins and organic acids make the gut a less comfortable place for undesirable bacteria.

Supports absorptive surface

Villus height and crypt depth govern how much of your ration the bird actually recovers.

Modulates local immune response

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue is trained by the community that occupies the gut.

Regulatory position

What we may and may not tell you.

This product is intended to:

  • Stabilise gut flora
  • Support zootechnical performance and feed conversion
  • Support nutrient absorption
  • Promote a healthy microbiome

It is not:

A veterinary medicinal product. EKOSHIELD is a zootechnical feed additive in the gut flora stabiliser functional group. We make no claim that it treats or prevents any disease, reduces mortality, or replaces antibiotics for a therapeutic purpose — and we would ask you to be sceptical of any supplier who does.

The economics

Run it on your own numbers.

Feed is typically 65–70% of the cost of broiler production, so FCR moves the P&L faster than almost anything else on the unit. This tool does not predict what EKOSHIELD will do for your flock — we have no commercial trial data of our own, and we will not invent any. It simply shows what a given FCR movement is worth at your scale, on your feed price.
