Poultry
Supporting the sustainable performance of poultry value chains
Working in partnership with our customers— feed manufacturers, integrators and poultry farmers, distributors and production organizations, Mixscience delivers solutions to the key challenges of the poultry industry in France and internationally.
Our goal is to promote competitiveness and sustainable performance while respecting animal welfare and health.
Supporting value chains through precision nutrition
- Develop precision nutrition to reduce feed costs through nutritional modeling, raw material evaluation, and enzyme adaptation,
- Fully harness the quality and potential of feed to improve food efficiency,
- Improve the quality of finished products (meat, shell, pigmentation) while minimizing their environmental impact,
- Support animal health and animal welfare by offering alternatives to the use of antibiotics and solutions for managing the physical well-being of poultry,
- Support the development of production models, such as ECC (European Chicken Commitment) and PPA (Free-Range Hens).
Meeting the needs on the ground: at the feed factory and on the farm
The complementary nature of our expertise (zootechnics, raw material characterization, and formulation), combined with our deep-rooted heritage in the livestock and feed industries, makes us a key player in the poultry sector (laying, broiler, and breeding).
Our solutions are designed for field realities and shaped by a dual approach that brings together nutrition and farming practices:
- Prevent pododermatitis,
- Support digestive balance,
- Promote growth and reproduction,
- Increase net yield and egg quality, improve the quality of animal products (eggs, fillets),
- Develop bioprotection,
- Improve chick quality and ensure a healthy start for the poultry,
- Reduce the use of antibiotics,
- Propose nutritional strategies (protein requirements, choice of raw materials) to support decarbonization,
- Optimize livestock farming practices,
- Manage thermal stress,
- Offer solutions for managing flocks of laying hens raised without beak trimming.
