MARCH 13 | 16.00 – 17.30PM | ROOM: JUPITER 8
Join our latest Poultry World seminar on ‘Optimising digestion in poultry production’ live at VIV Asia. As we all know, feed costs make up the largest portion of broiler production expenses, so optimizing FCR—how efficiently birds convert feed into body weight—is critical for profitability and sustainability. Likewise, improving gut health and nutrient digestibility ensures that birds extract maximum value from their feed, leading to healthier flocks and better growth rates.
In this seminar, we’ll explore key factors influencing FCR and digestibility, including feed formulation, enzyme supplementation, gut health management, and on-farm best practices. A healthy gut is the foundation of efficient digestion, optimal nutrient absorption, strong immunity, and overall bird performance. With increasing challenges like antibiotic restrictions, disease threats, and rising feed costs, improving gut health has never been more important.
Our experts will share the latest research, innovative strategies, and practical insights to help you achieve better feed efficiency, improved bird performance, and higher economic returns.

FCR Improvement? Think Biosolutions
Feed accounts for 75% of live bird production costs, making FCR a key industry KPI. Every 0.01 FCR improvement translates to ~€0.01 savings per broiler and €0.10 per layer hen. Over the past five decades, poultry performance gains were driven ⅔ by genetics and ⅓ by nutrition.
BioSolutions have played a major role in nutrition advancements, from enzyme development in the 1990s to Bacillus-based probiotics in the last 15 years. These innovations continue to drive FCR improvement, offering efficient and transformative solutions.
As a global leader in BioSolutions, Novonesis is advancing poultry nutrition by deepening the understanding of BioSolutions’ mode of action. A stronger mechanistic insight will accelerate research, predict outcomes, and deliver innovative solutions faster. This presentation highlights new findings on Bacillus subtilis probiotics and their impact on FCR through intestinal modulation.
