IFF launches Enviva^® DUO to improve poultry welfare

IFF on January 15 announced the launch of Enviva® DUO, a state-of-the-art direct-fed microbial (DFM) solution for poultry production.

This innovative blend of two non-spore forming bacterial strains is designed to support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria during challenging conditions and encourage a favorable nutribiotic state ─ the interaction between nutrition, microbiome, and gut and immune function ─ for optimal bird performance.

"Enviva^® DUO gives our customers a significant edge against evolving production challenges and offers the flexibility to target specific houses or farms through its waterline application," said Kirsty Gibbs, poultry innovation platform lead for Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health, IFF. "This direct dosing strategy ensures that challenged birds always receive the microbiome-boosting benefits of Enviva^® DUO, even if feed intake decreases."

Robust scientific research supports the efficacy of Enviva^® DUO, demonstrating its ability to restore the bird's microbiome and stabilise the intestinal environment. Its stable formulation disperses evenly in water distribution systems, preventing sedimentation or build-up, and ensuring uniform and consistent delivery to the flock, thereby maintaining operational efficiency.

Enviva^® DUO is now available to poultry integrators and large farm complexes in the United States, India, and Pakistan. Pending regulatory approvals, there are plans to expand to other countries.
