digestion of the yolk sac.

ProGress is based on easily digestible
protein and fat sources for anoptimal
nutrient supply and to overcome digestive
problems.
•
ProGress has a positive infuence on the
immune system. The development of the
immune system in the frst days requires
the availability of amino acids to buildup
the different proteins involved in the
immune response, such as immunoglobulin.
These come fromthe digested feed and
fromthe yolk sac digestion. Ahighly
digestible prestarter will result inhigher
nutrient availability for immune andbody
development.
•
Different additives are included in
ProGress to improve the digestion, support
the development of the digestive and
immune system, and to promote the gut
fora.
Provimi research andfeld trials showpositive
resultswithProGress. Liveweight at the end of the
fattening period increased considerably, and feed
conversion ratio often improved. Furthermore,
results fromthe feld trials show improvedfock
uniformity and reducedmortality. The latter is
also an indication that feeding ProGress positively
infuences the health status of the chick.
In laying hens and breeders the birds are able
to produce more eggs per bird. The combined
effects result in positive cost-beneft ratios
in the vast majority of trials. ProGress is
effective in broilers, rearing hens, breeders
and ducks as it generally improves the animals
early development, which results in improved
production and stronger birds.
One of the special additives in ProGress is
Biacid. Biacid is a specifc blend of organic
acids and essential oils designed to enhance
production performance of chickens by
encouraging feed intake and effcient digestive
function. Biacid is included in the prestarter
diets and throughout the fattening period.
Organic acids and essential oils are known
to have bacteriostatic/bactericidal activity.
However, the effectiveness of different
compounds varies and is dependant on many
interacting factors. Biacid has been formulated
following detailed research into these
compounds and into their combined effects, to
ensure that the most effective blend is used for
optimising broiler chick performance. Provimi
research and feld trials show improved broiler
performance and proftability when Biacid was
added to diets.

Provimi’s knowledge of howbirds respond to a
range of feed related factors enables us to predict
their performance. Predictable results allowus to
workwith you to develop anoptimal feedprogram
for your specifc company to obtainmaximum
proft.
We normally recommend a fve phase feed
programfor the different stages of the bird. The
nutrient levels of the complete feedper phase
differ depending on circumstances, such as the
availability andprices of rawmaterials, and the
company goals, such as lowest cost per kg ofmeat,
maximumdaily gainor lowest feed cost per kg feed
or per bird.
The recommended feedprogramfromsix days
oldwill depend on local rawmaterials and
circumstances, andwill incorporate Provimi full-
concentrates, concentrates or premixes depending
on the system. In thiswaywe canworkwith the
customer to formulate optimal programs for
integrators, feedmills andhomemixers inorder to
maximise economic performance.
Biacid, Provimi’s natural growthpromoter, canbe
added to concentrates or is available as separate
additive.
