ProGress (age: 1 – 6days)
Prestarter for broiler, laying hens, breeders and
ducks (100g per bird)
The frst period in a chick’s life is very critical.
Digestibility is limitedbecause the digestive tract
is not fully developed and enzyme activity is low.
The combinationof limiteddigestibility and low
feed intakemakes it diffcult to achieve a good
start. ProGress anticipates on this shortcoming
and ensures improveddevelopment.
Paying enough attention to the frstweek of life
is rewarding. From literature andProvimi research
it is proven that 10g extra liveweight gain in the
frst sevendays results in ±70g extra liveweight in
42 days. Several factors determine the start-up of
the young bird. The health status anduniformity
of the day-old chicks and the climate on arrival
are important factors. However, our focuswill
be the nutrition in the frstweek, which strongly
infuences production capacity in later stages.
The specially designedProGress supports the
young chicks inmanyways.

Feed intake is stimulated by an optimal
pellet size, length, hardness and
durability. An early and high feed intake
is important for good digestive tract
development. The presence of feed will
also trigger the development of the
enzyme system and stimulates the
