One World, One Health: a challenge shared by humans and animals
The “One World, One Health” concept highlights the interdependence between human and animal health. The inappropriate use of antibiotics in livestock farming compromises the effectiveness of treatments in human medicine. Aware of this challenge, the French poultry industry has committed to a responsible approach. Thanks to successive national plans, poultry exposure to antibiotics has decreased by 67% between 2011 and 2023. A comprehensive and integrated approach is essential to sustain this momentum. This French initiative aligns with other global efforts, such as the phase-out of antibiotics as growth promoters in Thailand and antibiotic-free farming in the U.S. Mixscience supports its customers in this transition by offering concrete and innovative solutions.
Maintaining poultry gut health: a strategic approach to combating antibiotic resistance
Gut health is a fundamental cornerstone of zootechnical performance and reducing the use of antibiotics, whether in broiler chickens, laying hens, or breeding stock. It depends on several key factors:
A controlled sanitary environment
Water, poultry’s primary source of nutrition, must be of impeccable quality. To ensure its potability, Mixscience offers the AQUASCOPE audit tool, designed to verify the safety of drinking water. In addition, the NOLIDRINK and NOLIFLORE solutions enrich the environment and drinking water with beneficial bacteria, thereby strengthening the barrier flora and protection against pathogenic challenges
Functional and targeted nutrition
Feed is an essential mechanism for delivering active ingredients that promote gut health. Their effectiveness depends on their targeted release within the digestive tract. The VSTAR delivery technologies developed by Mixscience meet this requirement and are integrated into the LUMIGARD range, with products that protect animals against various bacterial risks.
Optimized protein formulations
Excess protein in the diet can disrupt intestinal balance, providing a substrate for the growth of opportunistic pathogens. Precision nutrition research carried out by Mixscience has identified ideal protein profiles tailored to different species (broiler chickens, turkeys, laying hens). This approach allows for precise feeding without excess, thereby reducing the water-to-feed ratio and contributing to better intestinal health.
