MAXASCO

Seaweed-based additive to enhance gut health and growth in poultry

MAXASCO is a functional seaweed meal derived from Ascophyllum nodosum, processed to unlock its prebiotic, gelling, and toxin-binding properties. In poultry, it improves gut integrity, supports nutrient absorption, and delivers more consistent growth and feed conversion.


Key Benefits for Poultry

  • Improves growth performance – Broiler trials show higher average daily gain and improved FCR across multiple feeding phases.

  • Supports gut integrity – Prebiotic effects and stronger digesta viscosity improve nutrient digestibility and gut function.

  • Toxin binding – Demonstrated strong binding of mycotoxins (DON, ZEA), supporting feed safety.

  • Nutrient efficiency – Increased homogeneity of digesta improves enzymatic digestion and absorption of protein, starch, and fat.

  • Sustainable production – Reduces nutrient excretion and ammonia emissions.


Research Results

  • Broiler trials (Ross 308): Birds fed MAXASCO achieved up to +7% higher daily weight gain and better feed efficiency compared to controls.

  • Nutrient absorption: Enhanced viscosity and fibre modification improved energy utilisation and reduced faecal nitrogen excretion.

  • Gut resilience: Reduced pathogen adhesion and improved overall gut stability.
