addition of .Phytogenics are natural additives derived from herbs, spices and plant extracts – or they can be chemically synthesized. They have gained popularity due to extensive marketing, but their efficacy remains very brand specific.

The most effective feed additives for improving FCR in broiler chickens include antibiotics, probiotics, enzymes, and organic additives. These additives help in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the feed, which helps the chicken gain weight faster.

Well said ! Totally agree that optimizing digestion through balanced additives really makes a visible difference in FCR & bird performance.

Phytases, especially 6-Phytase being highly efficient, convert indigestible, organic phosphorus derived from botanic origin phytic acid, in usable and thus easier accessible to the animal’s body. This breakdown of nutrients enhances the availability of nutrients for absorption, resulting in improved FCR.

Great point, Rejuan. Phytase indeed improves nutrient utilization, lowers feed costs, and boosts efficiency.
