Prevention is better than cure
Concerns around the over-use of antibiotics are entirely understandable, but it stands to reason that it would be better to prevent the disease from getting a hold in the first place, thereby removing the need for antibiotics entirely. Coccidiosis can spread quickly in a large flock, affecting performance and profitability. Increasingly, forward thinking farmers are using nutritional supplements called phytogenic feed additives (PFAs) to prevent coccidiosis from the outset.
Sometimes referred to as botanicals or phytobiotics, PFAs contain natural, plant-based bioactive molecules which can enhance gut health and disrupt the reproduction of the parasite that causes coccidiosis (as well as other parasites). Essentially, PFAs are a preventative measure rather than a cure. They can be a cost-effective, natural source of microbial suppression for poultry producers looking to reduce antibiotic use on their farms.
TriCox+ is a completely natural PFA which is rapidly setting itself head and shoulders above other products in its class. It consists of a carefully selected mixture of phytogenic components designed to keep your flock fighting fit during the most sensitive time window of the production cycle. It is a powerful tool in coccidiosis control management.
A UK trial recently compared TriCox+ against a leading competitor product across four sheds.
Detailed data was recorded and the TriCox+ sheds showed improved feed conversion, drier litter with reduced hock and podo scores, and reduced incidence of coccidiosis. You can read the full trial report here.
See for yourself
In addition to TriCox+ outperforming a leading competitor in the trial, we have also been hearing very positive feedback from customers who are already using TriCox+ in their sheds. Contact the Interhatch team to arrange a trial of TriCox+ and discover the benefits for yourself.
