Features & Benefits
- Animal Feed & Nutrition Features
- Feeding Game Birds
Improving game bird health is a growing focus for breeders and producers as the mortality after release is high. A general need for antibiotics reduction in animal production and increased animal welfare focus urges producers and breeders to find solutions on how to improve both bird welfare and health.
Feed benefits
- Great Digestion and Utilization of the Feed
- Fully Developed Gut and Immune System
- Low Mortality
Challenges in Game Bird Feeding
Chicks are hatched indoors, later transferred to an outside aviary and lastly set free in the wild. Game birds are exposed to a wide range of bacteria and parasites once released in the aviary and in the wild.
Game birds gut microflora consist of both good and bad bacteria. In order to have a healthy gut flora, the composition of bacteria needs to be diverse and the number of bad and good bacteria need to be balanced.
In a protected environment, the gut microflora will be less diverse with an overweight of bad, pathogenic bacteria. This has a negative effect on the development of the gut and its ability to utilize nutrients and to developing a fully functional immune response. A weakened immune system makes the birds less resilient to disease once it has been released outside.
- How Feed Influences Game Birds
How feed influences game birds
In the poultry industry, it is well-recognized that quality of nutrition influences on the gut ability to utilize nutrients, its robustness to sustain a balance microflora and the health of the immune system. This knowledge can be applied for improvement of welfare and health for game birds as well.
Better use of feed
Complementary functional feed increases the bird’s absorption of nutrients and utilization of the feed provided. A better use of minerals and feed in general improves growth and can reduce feed cost..
Better armor and immune system
Through complementary functional feed, a fully functional immune system and a robust gut lining can be developed. The gut lining works as an armor preventing bacteria from entering the blood stream and causing infection.
Reduction in bacteria
As a result of pathogenic bacteria being repressed, a lower count of bacteria in the feces can be measured. Choose a complementary feed with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds to ease the transition from aviary to release.
The complementary feed GAME BIRDS is based on fermented rapeseed and seaweed and contains probiotics (lactic acid bacteria) and prebiotic fiber. More than 1.000 bioactive metabolites support gut and immune system development.
- Product Highlights
- EP GAME BIRDS is a natural and functional rapeseed protein and seaweed. It contains lactic acid bacteria and prebiotic fibers.
- EP GAME BIRDS consists of lacto fermented rapeseed meal and fermented seaweed. The protein is highly digestible.
- EP GAME BIRDS contains 5% lactic acid, so remember to optimize your feed and remove added acidifiers.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Animal Species
- Direction
Use as a complementary feed and place it next to the game birds regular feed. The game birds will selfregulate their feed intake.
- Recommended Use for Functional Feeding
Add 7-8 % EP200 to the feed until day 10. Hereafter reduce the inclusion to 5%. From day 22 and forward use 2-3 % EP200 in the feed.
