Last April, ICC Brazil, a specialist in yeast-based additives, was present at Livestock Asia 2018 in Malaysia. The commercial manager, Isabela Barros, represented ICC and gave a lecture on the benefits of yeast cell wall supplementation reducing contamination of Salmonella enteritidis in laying hens and, consequently, in eggs.

In Isabela’s evaluation, ICC’s participation in the forum was positive. “We have been able to disclose a compilation of works on laying hens with ImmunoWall®, the source of β-glucan and MOS. In recent years, several alternatives to antibiotics have been tested and used commercially in animal production. However, factors related to animal metabolism should be considered to obtain the best cost/benefit of an alternative. ImmunoWall® stands out among the alternatives. In our presentation, we had the opportunity to demonstrate this in a solid way and with great scientific support,” she says.

The commercial manager highlights the interaction with the public. “Our presentation generated curiosity, and we had questions related to our test in commercial laying hens where our product, ImmunoWall®, was able to reduce the contamination of Salmonella Enteritidis in the gut and ovaries of the poultry, thus proving to be a natural and effective solution to be used to ensure food security, “he says.
