Phylox®, a new feed additive from Amlan® International, has been launched in the Philippines to combat coccidiosis in poultry. This product represents a shift from traditional chemical treatments towards a natural solution that aligns with growing preferences for sustainable and antibiotic-free practices in animal husbandry. Coccidiosis in poultry is a prevalent issue in the Southeast Asian region, especially during the rainy season. The condition leads to economic losses through decreased feed efficiency, weight gain, and increased mortality rates.
Phylox® offers a promising alternative to chemical drugs and antibiotics. This could potentially reduce resistance issues and address late-stage coccidial challenges. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in trials, showing comparable performance to traditional ionophores and compatibility with anticoccidial vaccines.
The introduction of Phylox® caters to a market increasingly interested in natural, effective, and sustainable animal health solutions.
