An essential pillar of AGP-free diets, powered by innovation

Rapid gut microbiota stabilization

Ecobiol® PRO is a cornerstone of AGP-free poultry diets, now with an improved outgrowth profile for quicker onset of activity in the intestine. Its natural, spore-forming Bacillus velezensis rapidly stabilizes gut flora, supporting optimal feed efficiency and nutrient absorption. By suppressing harmful bacteria like C. perfringens, E. coli, Salmonella, C. difficile, C. septicum, and Streptococcus, Ecobiol® PRO helps reduce the risk of digestive disorders, promoting robust growth and improved feed conversion.

Faster spore outgrowth for enhanced gut health

Thanks to advanced fermentation technology, Ecobiol® PRO is now more effective than ever. The improved Ecobiol® PRO now germinates and grows up to 46% faster than competitor probiotics. This means more active probiotic cells, rather than only spores, are available in the upper small intestine, supporting colonization in a larger part of the intestine, more effective pathogen inhibition, and enhanced gut health. This breakthrough ensures consistent performance across diverse diets and production systems, giving producers greater confidence in every batch. The result: healthier animals and better performance.
