How are birds defending against pathogens?

October 21, 2020October 21, 2020

Poultry as well as other animals must have a way of protecting their body from external factors that can create problems. These defenses are going to fight against various antigens (microorganisms and their metabolites) to decrease the possibility of the animal getting sick; this protection mechanism it’s called immune system.

To reduce the possibility of a non-properly working immune system, there are nutritional inclusions that can be made to enhance and support the immune system, in the form of feed and water additives.

In XVET, there are many products that can support the immune system, utilizing different ingredients and approaches that have been proven to have a strong effect. Three important products which are directly helping immune system are:
· Turbo Tox and Dyna-MOS: Smart formula rich in high quality ß-Glucans and MOS
· Zincotin: Highly bioavailable organic Zinc

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.

Reproduction, an important key for production

July 14, 2020July 14, 2020

Talking of a healthy animal, we cannot only see it as a whole, but as a group of systems working together in sync. Reproductive system is an important one among all systems.

XVET Zincotin is a product that contains organic bound Zinc as well as biotin and multiple amino acids formulated for the improvement of fertility in chicken.

Better egg shell quality is vital. For instance, minimizing the microscopic breakage of eggs avoid microfractures during incubation or a higher pathogen pressure caused by a higher density of pores in the eggshell.

XVET products such as Cal D Phos and Ovostrong provide a good source of minerals plus other essential ingredients in a perfect balanced formula for a better eggshell quality and laying rate.

Zincotin is enhancing breeder performance

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 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. The experimental farm consists of 3 houses as treatment group (Zincotin) and 5 houses as control. All houses had similar conditions and with the density (Birds in every square meter) of 6.04.

The number of hens in the treatment and control group were 10.932 and 17.368 respectively. This groups had 765 and 1213 roosters in treatment and control groups as well. Even though the sex ratio at week 26 (Before starting the experiment) was 8.2% the experiment started with the Female to male ratio (⚤) of 6% for both treatment and control group. Environmental situation, diseases, spiking and available healthy roosters in the farm were affecting the designed ⚤.
