POULTRY (BROILERS): |
-
- • Faster growth, better-feed conversion giving lower
- production costs.
- • Improved immunity and less loss of performance from disease challenge, including vaccines.
- • Better results in the absence of routine dietary medication.
- • Better development of nervous system and bone structure.
- • Fewer losses from carcass condemnations due to sepsis,
- inflammation, cellulites etc.
|
BREEDING BIRDS/LAYERS: |
- • Higher productivity.
- • Better disease resistance.
- • Improved fertility –both in males and females.
- • Nutritional value of eggs for humans improved through deposition of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.
|
PIGS: |
- • Faster growth –especially early weaned pigs.
- • Improved feed conversion.
- • Lower allergenic reaction in early-weaned pigs compared with other non-milk proteins.
- • Improved disease resistance – especially for pigs fed diets without medication.
- • Improved fertility – more pigs born.
- • Improved composition of fat in meat – DHA and EPA deposited
- in the meat.
|
DAIRY COWS: |
- • Higher milk yields – increases typically 1 to 2 liters per day.
- • Milk protein content increased typically by 0.1 to 0.2% units.
- • High levels (1 kg or above) may depress milk fat – important for
- health conscious consumers.
- • Fertility, especially conception rate improved –typically by
- 10 to 15% units.
|
BEEF CATTLE: |
- • Faster growth.
- • Increases levels of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA + EPA)
- deposited in meat.
- • Whilst meat from grass fed beef has low levels present other meat does not – fishmeal feeding will boost this.
- • Improved utilisation of high forage diets.
|
SHEEP: |
- • Improve fertility.
- • Faster lamb growth.
- • Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA+EPA) deposited in the meat.
- • Improved utilisation of high forage diets.
- • Can slim over fat lambs.
