The Project

Sustainable Alternatives to AGPs in Poultry Production

Intensive poultry production requires urgent alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) to ensure sustainable and efficient farming. Nutraceuticals, derived from fruits and vegetables, are safe, cost-effective, and enhance feed efficiency while improving immune responses and possessing antibacterial properties, making them a potent alternative to antibiotics for producing healthy meat and eggs.
