Hens on a farm illustrating digestive health and poultry performance in poultry production

Poultry digestive security, a key performance lever in farming

The ability of poultry to efficiently utilize their feed directly determines the profitability of farms, whether in meat or egg production. This utilization relies largely on the proper functioning of the digestive tract and the correct balance of the microbiota. Controlled digestive security allows for the optimization of intake, nutrient utilization, and the consistency of farming performance.

A strategic challenge for the poultry sectors

In a context of demedication, reinforced regulatory requirements, and increased economic pressure, digestive health management is becoming a strategic challenge for the sectors.

Farming practices, raw material quality, and feed formulation are decisive levers for sustainably securing digestive function.

A global approach to strengthen poultry digestive security

CCPA approaches digestive security as a global approach, based on a detailed understanding of poultry digestive physiology and the mechanisms that influence intestinal balance. This expertise makes it possible to identify the most relevant nutritional and technological levers to limit digestive imbalances, secure digestion, and promote microbiota stability.

The work carried out by CCPA focuses notably on optimizing protein and energy digestibility, controlling indigestible fractions, the role of the gizzard and digestive motility, as well as the influence of feed structure (fiber, particle size) on digestive dynamics. Its research also integrates the understanding of the microbiota and its balance mechanisms, particularly regarding communication between bacteria and the levers allowing for its rebalancing.

Concrete solutions to act on digestive security

To support the sectors in facing digestive issues, CCPA offers a comprehensive approach combining field diagnostics, nutritional expertise, and functional solutions. 360° audits allow for the identification of the causes of digestive disorders or performance variability. CCPA analyzes all factors impacting health, including farming practices, the sanitary context, and the composition and presentation of the feed. The evaluation relies on diagnostic tools such as dropping control, footpad and litter condition, and consumption monitoring.

CCPA’s expertise covers all factors influencing digestive security, from industrial processes (grinding, pelleting) to nutritional parameters, based on a detailed knowledge of raw materials and their digestibility, validated in vivo at the Euronutrition experimental station.

Functional nutritional solutions complete this strategy, notably ProActiv® Poultry, a phytosolution combining plant extracts and organic acids with demonstrated synergistic effects on intestinal integrity and digestive balance. This combination of tools, services, and Feed Solutions allows CCPA to provide long-term support to the sectors toward reinforced digestive security, serving the performance and robustness of poultry.
