There’s one area in poultry farming that’s finally getting the attention it’s long deserved — gut health.

Not just feed. Not just antibiotics. But what’s going on inside the bird’s digestive tract — the unseen world that holds the key to better weight gain, immunity, and performance. Gut health is no longer an add-on; it’s a strategy.

So, what’s driving this shift? And how is ABTL helping poultry farmers take advantage of it with gut health supplements like Bactalis?

Let’s break it down.

Why Gut Health Is at the Centre of Poultry Performance

Here’s the reality: birds that eat well, grow well. But birds that digest well? They thrive.

A healthy gut in poultry means better nutrient absorption, fewer digestive upsets, stronger immune response, and ultimately — lower feed costs and higher productivity. It’s a win on every front.

And yet, this delicate gut environment is under pressure. Feed changes, stress, antibiotic withdrawal, early chick mortality — they all take a toll. Which is why gut health management has become a critical priority in modern poultry operations.

From Antibiotics to Probiotics

With global pressure to reduce antibiotic usage in poultry, probiotics have stepped in as a trusted alternative. But not all probiotics are made equal.

Some struggle to survive pelleting temperatures. Others don’t colonize well in the bird’s gut. And a few simply don’t deliver consistent results.

This is where ABTL’s Bactalis enters the conversation — with research, reliability, and real-world impact.

What Makes Bactalis Different ?

Let’s keep it simple. Bactalis is a direct-fed microbial supplement based on a proprietary strain of Bacillus subtilis.

It’s not just effective — it’s built for modern poultry farming. Here’s how:

• Survives pelleting: Bactalis contains thermostable endospores that remain viable even after feed is processed at high temperatures.
• Germinates quickly: It begins acting in the bird’s gut without delay.
• Balances microbiota: It supports a healthy gut flora — critical in the post-antibiotic era.
• Enhances nutrient absorption: Better digestion means better feed conversion.

ABTL offers three strengths:

• Bactalis 1 – 1×10⁹ CFU/g
• Bactalis 2 – 2×10⁹ CFU/g
• Bactalis Forte – 20×10⁹ CFU/g
