Application of Probiotics in Feed Additives
The impact of probiotics on animal production and their potential utility as an alternative to traditional antibiotics has been widely used, especially in poultry, pig and fish farming. Creative Enzymes is a leading probiotic specialist, and our scientists have invested a great deal of research and effort in animal nutrition and health. We are committed to developing a portfolio of high-quality feed additives and probiotics that provide sustainable health solutions for farmed animals and food safety.
Why Should I Add Probiotics to Animal Feed?
Continued population growth is inextricably linked to the growing demand for foods of plant and animal origin. Types of used feed additives affect animal health and increased production of high-quality meat, eggs, milk and fish. Animal production is inseparable from nutrition and health of the consumer, and animal intestinal pathogens, such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria and Yersinia, are a direct source of food contamination and a cause of zoonoses. Therefore, breeders' expectations are growing concerning feed additives that would guarantee such results as accelerating growth rate, protection of health from pathogenic infections and improvement of other production parameters such as: absorption of feed and quality of meat, milk, eggs. For these reasons, Creative Enzymes' scientists are looking for solutions allowing intensification of food production, with simultaneous reduction of production costs, and in compliance with high standards of quality and safety.
