Energy Effect
There are a lot of bacteria that occur in poultry houses, ending up being ingested by the birds, together with the feed. Some naturally occurring bacteria seem to promote good technical results. Other bacteria, often being pathogens as well, seem to have a detrimental effect on results. Also, an ideal balance of environmental bacteria flora may positively influence poultry health and productivity, including energy utilization.

Dutch experience indicates that APICAL POWDER at a dose of 0.2% applied to layer feed can substitute approximately 30 kcal of ME from maize based mash feeds. The effects for wheat based diets appear to be 50 - 60 kcal ME.

Egg Quality
For clean eggs and improved shell quality apply 0.2 % APICAL POWDER and remove 0.3 - 0.6 % rendered fat from the formulation.
