Efficient animal production is a balancing act of nutrition, health, and animal welfare, especially when reducing or eliminating antibiotic utilization. In this context ensured intestinal health is absolutely essential. Challenges such as diseases, environmental factors, and feed ingredient quality, can negatively impact the intestinal microbial balance, leading to slower growth and reduced performance, which in turn result in economic losses. Microbiota imbalance (dysbiosis) but also overgrowth of clostridium perfringens enable growth of opportunistic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, which can result in different disorders. These disorders, such as diarrhea, wet litter, necrotic enteritis, leaky gut (impaired gut barrier function), intestinal inflammation (colitis) and poor immune status finally impair the animal’s feed efficiency, growth, and their wellbeing. This leads to economic losses for poultry and swine and aquaculture.

Ecobiol® consists of a natural fast-growing Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940. Ecobiol® can improve health and production conditions of animals and help producers to improve quality of their products profitability of their business and solve sustainability challenges.

Nutrition and health are closely linked in ensuring the well-being and performance of the animal. The expertise of Evonik in the field of animal nutrition gives us the advantage of extending our portfolio and knowledge to the area of animal health. In addition, as a science-based company, we aim to close present knowledge gaps regarding probiotics (direct fed microbials) and their potential influence on the microbiome, gut function and animal performance considering differences in the quality and composition of the feed. Using Ecobiol® will open the doors for having access to our knowledge and services.

• Feed supplemented with Ecobiol® supports microbial balance in the gut.
• Ecobiol® survives feed manufacturing processes as it is stable under feed pelleting temperatures, high humidity and storage conditions.
• easy handling at feed mills and farms. 
• Ecobiol® helps to reduce production cost through improved feed conversion and reduction time to slaughter.
• Ecobiol® is compatible with other feed additives such as coccidiostats and organic acids providing the basis for a guaranteed effective product.
