“Poultry producers face disease challenges that can have
devastating consequences,” says Mr McBride. “Yet they must also continue to drive down antibiotic usage while meeting food safety requirements and production targets, which contribute to business efficiency. Healthy birds, with well-equipped immune systems, are fundamental to this. “And products with a proven track record of supporting the
