Arm & Hammer expands range of targeted microbial solutions 

Arm & Hammer™ has announced the addition of a proprietary Bacillus strain 1704 to its CERTILLUS™ Targeted Microbial Solutions™ portfolio. 
 

"This newly discovered Bacillus strain offers broad-spectrum activity against various species and strains of E. coli, Clostridium and Salmonella bacteria," Dr. Xandra Smith, Arm & Hammer's manager of microbial ecology and genetics, explained.
 

"Additionally, the strain has application in facilities and environments for poultry, swine, dairy and beef cattle as producers work against the pathogenic disease threats that hamper or even destroy animal health and production," she added.
 

This discovery is the result of Arm & Hammer's extensive and ongoing screening process which is designed to help enhance and expand the CERTILLUS portfolio's coverage of pathogenic diversity. 
 

"For livestock and poultry producers, the discovery of Bacillus strain 1704 helps improve the effectiveness of on-farm interventions with our CERTILLUS portfolio," concluded Dr. Smith. "It's a new tool for our continually evolving toolbox to help our customers better tackle the bacterial challenges their herds and flocks face."
