DSM Nutritional Products has launched an innovative addition to its eubiotics
portfolio:
CRINA® Poultry Plus, a new digestive stimulant / flavoring
for supplementing broiler feeds.
Eubiotics are natural digestive stimulants for livestock production: the term
comes from the Greek Eubiosis, which refers to a healthy balance of
micro-flora in the gastrointestinal tract. CRINA® Poultry Plus is a unique
formulation of essential oil compounds such as thymol, eugenol, piperine and
benzoic acid. This combination is a world first in the market for poultry feed
additives.
DSM pioneered the effective use of benzoic acid in pig husbandry with
Vevovitall®, an ultrapure grade of benzoic acid which promotes health in pigs
by modulating the intestinal gut flora. The benefits of VevoVitall® are now
combined with the experiences gained with CRINA® products to offer a new
solution to the poultry feed market.
Dr. Christophe Paulus, New Business Development Manager – Animal Health and
Product Manager for DSM’s CRINA® portfolio, comments: “
Eubiotics are an efficient and costeffective replacement for in-feed
antibiotic growth promoters. We are rapidly expanding our eubiotics portfolio
in response to market demand for innovative products which help to maintain
gut health and therefore improve performance in livestock and poultry.”
CRINA® Poultry Plus, which is patented in the world’s main poultry markets,
has shown good results in several trials to modulate gut microflora and to
improve digestive functions of broilers. As a result, broilers showed to
perform effectively and consistently on more weight gain with less feed while
enjoying improved health, bringing a 4 to 1 return on investment to broiler
growers.
“CRINA® Poultry Plus is an excellent example of DSM Nutritional Products’
strategy of product innovation and differentiation” observes Dr.
Christophe Paulus. “Using our unique science base, we are creating new
solutions which will set the trend for the future.”
