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.
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.
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.
✅ Boosts poultry growth and feed efficiency
✅ Supports gut health and immune function
✅ Binds toxins for safer, more consistent performance
