Raising Healthy Chickens, The Probiotic Way
Sarit B. Tarafdar, a chicken farmer in Vadodara, needed an effective solution to strengthen his Serama Chicken farm’s immunity and prevent diseases and infections.
He was especially mindful of the long-term effects of continued antibiotic treatments.
He turned to us for a probiotic solution.
Poultry farming is one of the major industries that contribute significantly to the economies of most developing countries.
Sarit B. Tarafdar is one of the most popular chicken breeders in Vadodara and has been breeding chickens on his farm for over a decade.
His farm was primarily dedicated to breeding exotic birds, such as the Serama Chicken, a rare, bantam breed of chicken originally from Malaysia.
Raising Serama Chickens is a little more challenging than raising other types of chickens.
Poultry owners must spend a significant amount of money on regular medication for these birds.
Not only are these medicines costly, but they also have an adverse effect on the birds’ growth and feed conversion rate.
Further, the colonisation and transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria among the birds were a serious concern.
The use of antibiotics can disturb the normal gut microflora of chicks.
When exposed to stressful conditions and having a weak immune system, birds are more susceptible to various infections.
Hence, Sarit wanted to try a more natural and effective product to help the birds develop a stronger immunity and improve their overall health and growth.
After meeting Sarit and understanding the situation, our experts provided him with the perfect solution – Cibuzz.
Cibuzz is our direct-feed probiotic that can be added to chickens’ feed or drinking water.
The beneficial microbes in Cibuzz result in numerous health benefits for poultry birds, including significantly improved digestion and food intake, biosecurity against diseases, weight gain in a comparatively short time frame, high-quality egg yield, and reduced feather loss.
We recommended a Cibuzz dosage of 3 grams per kilogram of soft food and administered this to 100 small, cocktail-size birds three times a week.
And the results were nothing short of spectacular. Regular usage of Cibuzz had a positive effect on the Serama birds.
Their food intake improved notably. The growth of chickens also increased significantly.
Sarit has been using Cibuzz for two and a half years now with consistently good results.
