The production of chicken to produce meat is responsible for the production of the greenhouse gas methane and the environmental pollutant ammonia. These are produced by the birds as they are reared and also by the litter that they live on. The bacteria that produce these chemicals live in the chicken's intestine.Any intervention that would reduce these bacteria also has to not have a negative impact on the profitability of farming poultry or on animal health and welfare. The ideal solution would improve these, improve the profitability of framing while reducing environmental impact.Our company has two strains of bacteria that have individually shown these properties in small scale trials and could be formulated into a feed supplement for chickens. We aim to try these in larger scale trials alone and together to see if we can produce a product that increases the profitability of farming poultry while having all of the above positive impacts. We will compare these to the effects of current market-leading products that have positive effects on profitability and health, but no environmental impacts with the aim to be at least as good in terms of economic and welfare improvements while also moving the poultry industry towards net zero.

生产鸡肉是生产温室气体甲烷和环境污染物氨的责任。这些都是由鸟类在饲养过程中产生的，也是由它们赖以生存的窝产生的。产生这些化学物质的细菌生活在鸡的肠道中。任何可以减少这些细菌的干预措施也必须不会对家禽养殖业的盈利能力或动物的健康和福利产生负面影响。理想的解决方案是改善这些，提高养殖业的盈利能力，同时减少对环境的影响。我们公司有两种菌株在小规模试验中分别显示了这些特性，并可以配制成鸡的饲料添加剂。我们的目标是单独和联合在更大规模的试验中尝试这些措施，看看我们是否可以生产一种产品，在产生上述所有积极影响的同时增加养殖家禽的盈利能力。我们将把这些与目前市场领先的产品的效果进行比较，这些产品对盈利和健康有积极的影响，但没有环境影响，目的是至少在经济和福利改善方面同样好，同时也将家禽业推向净零。
