University research findings validate the efficacy of Perstorp's ProPhorce™ SR

  
New Chinese scientific research by Shandong Agricultural University reconfirms the efficacy of ProPhorce™ SR: with 2% less feed, the daily growth of broilers remains the same.

Professor Yang and his team tested ProPhorce™ SR on a group of healthy broilers under normal circumstances. The findings show that with ProPhorce™ SR a significant difference has been realised with regard to the feed conversion. At the same time the research shows constant growth rates.

The research corroborates the good results which have been achieved with ProPhorce™ SR in Europe.

Professor Yang says, "The research shows that you need 2% less feed when using ProPhorce™ SR in order to realise the same daily growth.

The length of the villi is increased by the use of ProPhorce™ SR. We have established that the length of the villi increases up to 35%. The animal's feed uptake capacity is enhanced by the strong development of the intestinal wall, so the chicken will use the feed more efficiently. This results in a lower feed conversion (ratio)."

Geert Wielsma, product manager at Perstorp Feed & Food, adds, "During the European Symposium on Poultry Nutrition 2015 in Prague my colleagues and I will elaborate on the research results. During the congress Perstorp will organise a mini symposium for the visitors of the congress. Then we will focus on ProPhorce™ SR in view of the Chinese research, earlier scientific researches and field testing."
