Assessment of a multi strain live biotic feed additive in reducing environmental impact and improving productivity in chicken production

鸡肉生产过程中会产生温室气体甲烷和环境污染物氨。这些是由鸟类在饲养过程中产生的，也由它们赖以生存的垃圾产生。产生这些化学物质的细菌生活在鸡的肠道里。任何减少这些细菌的干预措施也不得对养殖家禽的盈利能力或动物健康和福利产生负面影响。理想的解决方案将改善这些，提高框架的盈利能力，同时减少对环境的影响。我们公司有两种细菌，在小规模试验中分别显示出这些特性，可以配制成鸡的饲料补充剂。我们的目标是单独或共同进行更大规模的试验，看看我们是否能生产出一种产品，既能提高养殖家禽的盈利能力，又能产生上述所有积极影响。我们将把这些与目前市场领先的产品的影响进行比较，这些产品对盈利能力和健康有积极影响，但对环境没有影响，目的是在经济和福利改善方面至少达到同样的效果，同时使家禽业朝着净零的方向发展。

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.
