The natural alternative

No withdrawal period. No residue risk. No regulatory exposure.

The challenge

Every producer faces a triple challenge today

Modern poultry production runs in a demanding operational environment, and the pressure comes from three directions at once.

  • Rising feed costs

    Feed ingredient prices keep compressing profit margins, cycle after cycle.

  • Constant gut health pressure

    Dysbiosis, viral and bacterial diseases and enteric pathogens thrive in high-density production.

  • The phase-out of AGPs

    Regulatory pressure to phase out antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) is mounting every year.

FERMENTOBIOTIC™ was engineered specifically to address these challenges. It is a scientifically proven, natural alternative that replicates and exceeds AGP performance, without regulatory restrictions, resistance risks or withdrawal periods.

The innovation

What is FERMENTOBIOTIC™?

A multi-stage fermented feed additive designed to support poultry productivity, intestinal integrity and immune resilience against environmental and disease stressors. A complete eubiotic ecosystem, delivered in every gram.

Innovative

Multi-strain SSF technology

Four high-performance microbial strains, co-cultivated through a proprietary solid-state fermentation process.

Fermentation driven

Broad-spectrum metabolite profile

Organic acids, enzymes, peptides, bacteriocins and more, generated during fermentation and delivered in every gram.

Performance proven

FCR and gut morphology data vs. AGP

Controlled broiler trial data on FCR, weight gain, mortality and villus structure, benchmarked against an AGP.

The triple-action eubiotic concept

Three synergistic modes of action, working at once

Unlike standard single-mode additives, FERMENTOBIOTIC™ acts as a postbiotic, a prebiotic and a probiotic simultaneously.

  • Postbiotics

    Bioactive metabolites produced during SSF directly support gut epithelial function, modulate the immune response, reduce oxidative stress and balance microflora immediately upon ingestion.

  • Prebiotics

    Fermented wheat bran and chicory pulp deliver functional dietary fiber, oligosaccharides and SCFA precursors that selectively nourish beneficial microbiota and deplete pathogen niches.

  • Probiotics

    Bacillus subtilis natto spores are heat-stable. They colonize the hindgut, maintain intestinal homeostasis and survive feed processing and gastric transit.

From better gut to better performance

Six benefits that compound across every production cycle.

  • Supports gut health and integrity
  • Enhances digestibility and nutrient utilization
  • Promotes balanced microbiota
  • Strengthens immune response
  • Reduces production cost
  • Improves performance and profitability
Simple to use

One inclusion rate for every poultry class
