The DSM Nutritional Products Balancius feed additive for poultry production is a microbial muramidase that works in the intestine to improve feed efficiency and increase sustainable product yield. Its mode of action breaks-down peptidoglycans (PGNs) in bacterial cell debris, thus unlocking the hidden potential in gastrointestinal functionality.
Scientific data demonstrate the addition of Balancius to the diet of broiler chickens consistently improves feed conversion ratio by 4–6 points (3 percent), demonstrating a significant improvement in digestibility and feed efficiency.
The launch of Balancius is the latest innovation from the Alliance of DSM with Novozymes.
