Gut Health Is the Starting Point for Strong Birds

Here’s the thing – if your bird’s gut isn’t right, nothing else works. Feed gets wasted. Growth slows down. Immunity drops. And you’re left dealing with uneven flocks and rising mortality.

That’s exactly why probiotics in poultry are becoming a must – not a maybe. And when it comes to gut-focused probiotic support, CosBac by ABTL is designed to do one job really well: keep the digestive system strong, balanced, and protected from harmful bacteria.

What Is CosBac?

CosBac is a multi-species synbiotic – which means it combines both probiotics (good live microbes) and prebiotics (nutrients that help those microbes grow). Together, they build and maintain a healthy gut microflora in poultry.

What makes CosBac special is its blend of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans, and Lactobacillus acidophilus – all carefully selected for poultry. These strains are non-GMO and survive tough conditions like pelleting and acidic guts.

Plus, CosBac comes with a prebiotic mix that feeds these good bacteria, giving your birds the digestive support they need from day one.

The Benefits You’ll Actually See on the Farm

Here’s what farmers report after adding CosBac into their poultry programs:

• Healthier droppings – no more wet litter or sticky mess

• Better chick survival rates – especially in the first few days

• Stronger gut immunity – helps birds fight off common infections

• Improved body weight gain (BWG) and FCR

• Fewer digestive problems during antibiotic withdrawal or feed changes

And it’s not just early-stage chicks. CosBac works throughout the flock’s life – during stress, vaccinations, or environmental shifts.

What Makes CosBac Different?

ABTL designed CosBac with the realities of poultry production in mind. These features set it apart:

• DFM that survives pelleting temperature and unfavorable gut conditions.
• A blend of unique non-GMO strains that grow profoundly in the gut of monogastric animals.
• Efficient and fast germination.
• Maximizes the economic return by supporting livability and productivity.
• Proven compatibility with AGPs, coccidiostats, and acidifiers.
• Re-establishing balanced gut microflora during post-antibiotic application, enhancing the power of gut health supplements like CosBac.

Key Strains and What They Do

CosBac contains:

• Bacillus subtilis (5 billion CFU/g) – fights gut pathogens, supports gut lining

• Bacillus coagulans (3 billion CFU/g) – supports gut flora and immune balance

• Lactobacillus acidophilus (2 billion CFU/g) – promotes lactic acid production and pathogen resistance

• Prebiotic mix – feeds the good microbes, helping them multiply quickly

Together, these microbes promote short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that naturally fight off bacteria like C. perfringens, E. coli, and S. enteritidis.

When and How to Use CosBac

• Start chicks early – apply within the first 48 hours

• Use during antibiotic withdrawal or post-treatment

• Apply during feed transitions or environmental changes

• Safe for all poultry breeds – broilers, layers, breeders

CosBac is available in two versions:

• CosBac – For direct feed application (pellet stable up to 90°C)

• CosBac WS – For water application during early chick stages or stress periods
  

FAQ

Is CosBac safe for chicks in the first week?

Yes, it’s ideal for use post-hatch and helps reduce early chick mortality.

Can it be used with coccidiostats or AGPs?

Absolutely. CosBac works well alongside other gut health solutions.

What makes CosBac better than single-strain probiotics?

Its unique multi-strain blend with prebiotics gives broader protection and faster gut colonization.

The Bottom Line

If your gut health strategy begins only after problems show up — you’re already late. CosBac lets you start early, stay ahead, and raise birds that convert better, grow stronger, and resist disease naturally.

In today’s poultry world, probiotics in poultry like CosBac aren’t an extra. They’re essential.
