Effects of 42 Degree in farrowing sows

May 19, 2022May 20, 2022

In this small-scale farm trial, all sows received the same nutritional program and were kept under the same housing conditions. The number of all sows included in the trial was ten.

42 Degree Group: N=5 sows
Tolfenamic Acid Group: N=5 sows

As an in-field result, the farmers experience generally that sows which are receiving 42 Degree show a good appetite, have improved motility through pain reduction and they are easier to handle after birth as they obviously feel more comfortable.

October 14, 2021October 28, 2021

Type of trial: Field trial
Location of trial: Philippines
Trial period: six weeks in autumn 2020 (from 26^th week of life onwards)
Experimented animals: Layers (Lohmann breed)
Aim of the Trial: Assess the effect of XVET`s Metavolin Herbal® on Pre-Peak and Peak Performance of laying hens

Introduction
It has been demonstrated that supporting the liver during stressful periods can lead to improvement of layer performance. It was hypothesized, that Metavolin Herbal® enhances the chicken`s metabolism by supporting the hepatic system, thus leading to an increased performance and better health of the birds, which might be useful especially around peak of laying when hepatic stress factors are at its highest.

Ovostrong (XVET Germany) enhancing the performance parameters on laying…

The eggshell is a protective shield for the contents of the egg, giving not only a structure but also a membrane that allows the egg to exchange gas and humidity through it. Good eggshell quality is affected by various factors such as the strain of the animal, age, usage of medications, stress, and nutrition. One important factor that can be enhanced is nutrition; the addition of a good and balanced source of calcium and phosphorus will help to improve the eggshell quality. A bad eggshell quality will result in broken eggs, deformed eggs, or bad hatchability; which translates to big economic losses for producers.

The results of this study are showing that Ovostrong administration in layer farms will help to obtain higher performance levels by increasing egg quality and egg production rate; which will lead to a higher return on investment, especially in older laying hens.

Zincotin is enhancing breeder performances

October 16, 2020July 30, 2021

The effect of Zincotin, XVET Germany on broiler breeder performances’ was estimated in this study.
The experiment was done at a broiler breeder farm in the North of Iran. 30.278 birds (Arbor Acres Plus) were evaluated in 8 houses of this farm from week 40 to 67 of the production period.

Since roosters in this study received Zinc in both feed (Organic Zinc) and drinking water (Zincotin) and also hatchability in the treatment group was much higher than the control group, we could conclude that Zinc availability for birds in breeder farm (Hens and roosters) is vital in the breeder farms for achieving the higher hatchability under appropriate condition.

It is determined that Zincotin (XVET Germany) application will improve the breeding performances in broiler breeder farms.

October 12, 2020August 2, 2022

In Peru, as well as other parts of the world, poultry farming has become very important due to the high market demand for meat and eggs. This industry is dependent on imported feed ingredients and therefore there will always be challenges on improving productivity and prices. Thus, reducing the cost of production in laying hens is vital. In recent years, feed costs have been increasing dramatically and now it is up to 70 percent of livestock production cost. Currently, the use of additives is a common practice due to their clear benefits.Therefore, nutritional additives such as Turbo Tox® play a key role on today’s productions.

It is concluded that the use of Turbo Tox®, XVET Germany at the dosage of 1 kg per ton of feed is beneficial and cost effective for laying performances. 1 kg Turbo Tox® per ton of feed is sufficient for improving laying hens productivity and increasing the performance of:
·      Egg production
·      ROI (Return on investment)
·      Weight gain
·      Average egg weight
·      Total egg mass
·      Feed conversion rate

September 24, 2020October 22, 2020

Aquaculture farmers in Vietnam have traditionally used garlic to protect the intestinal tract of shrimps.

Knowing that XVET’s GarVit Aqua contains not only garlic oil but various performance supportive ingredients, a trial was performed to evaluate the efficacy of GarVit Aqua on shrimps performance and resistance to diseases.
