Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt - #19 - Enhancing Poultry Nutrition with Postbiotics

While many are familiar with probiotics and prebiotics, postbiotics remain relatively underexplored in our domain. These are preparations derived from non-living microorganisms that provide health advantages to the host. In this episode, Dr. Vivek Kuttappan delves deep into the world of postbiotics and elucidates their myriad benefits for poultry. We'll explore how these postbiotic formulations enhance poultry production, from boosting body weight and optimizing feed conversion in broilers, to elevating egg yield and quality in layers and breeders.
