The health status of parent flocks and their progeny is non-negotiable. At Anitox, we’re as passionate about clean feed as you are about the security of your hatcheries.

Microbial contamination and variation in the bacterial load of feed not only impacts on the performance of your birds, but also the markets you can access and the value of your end products. That’s why our clean feed experts work in partnership with many of the world’s biggest broiler and commercial layer producers, securing the value of generations of poultry to come.

According to a study done by UGA in 2022, broiler breeder hens fed sanitized feed has increased livability in comparison to those fed non-treated feed. The hens had a significantly reduced microbial load on the eggshell surface and the progeny of hens fed treated feed were more likely to be classified as "Grade A" chicks at hatch than those fed untreated feed.
