Adisseo and Novozymes offer Alterion, a probiotic for poultry based on beneficial bacteria developed from a unique strain of Bacillus subtilis, a naturally-occurring bacterium found in soil. Added to feed, it allows farmers to better control gut health of their animals, limits development of unwanted bacteria in the animal’s digestive tract and optimizes feed conversion by 2 to 2.5 percent, meaning less feed is consumed to raise an animal.
