Proven on more than 200 million birds

Liv-Pro® contains a unique combination of beneficial bacteria which colonizes different segments of the gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria have been specifically isolated from and for poultry, and been developed, tested, and proven to be effective after more than 14 years of research and use on over 200 million birds. These microorganisms are also listed by the FDA and AAFCO to be of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) grade.

Liv-Pro® Benefits

During this 14 year period of Liv-Pro® use and refinement, our parent company, Maple Leaf Farms, has observed the following in its poultry production:

1. Lower mortality and morbidity rates; elimination of necrotic enteritis
2. Increased growth rate, feed conversion, and weight gain
3. Increased nutrient absorption
4. Improved quality and quantity of eggs
5. Over 90% reduction in antibiotic therapy and the elimination of sub-therapeutic antibiotic use

This success story has helped make Maple Leaf Farms the industry leader in the US, while producing healthy, wholesome, all-natural and nutritious poultry. Not only has bird health improved, but Maple Leaf Farms has also been able to lower total cost of production due to:

1. Reduced downgrades and condemnations
2. Reduced use of costly antibiotics
3. Reduced feed cost – due to better nutrient absorption
4. Decreased nitrogen and phosphorous content in the litter, lowering negative environmental impact and waste management costs
5. Less inventory – due to the concentration of Liv-Pro® , less inventory and space are needed

Easy and Effective

To allow proper and even distribution of Liv-Pro® in the delivery system, we recommend adding Liv-Pro® to the birds’ drinking water (directly or through a metering system). However, Liv-Pro® may also be applied to feed post-pelleting with a sprayer or distributed evenly on the feed before usage.

Daily Use: Ideally, Liv-Pro® is administered every day as a preventive measure to ensure proper gastrointestinal health and thus, an optimal immune system.

Maintenance Use: Alternatively, a health maintenance program can also be effective, but to a lesser degree. Liv-Pro® should be administered during the following events:

• At hatch. The intestinal tract of a newborn is practically free of any microorganisms and thus provides an excellent environment for the introduction of Liv-Pro® ; this also helps prevent any opportunistic pathogens from establishing themselves in the GI tract.
• Periods of Stress. Shipping, handling, change of diet, vaccine inoculation, temperature abuses, illnesses, and other stresses cause the bird to have a lower immune status and reduced appetite.
• After antibiotic therapy. Antibiotic treatment not only results in the destruction of pathogens, it unfortunately also kills beneficial bacteria. Liv-Pro® replenishes the intestinal flora with beneficial bacteria, bringing the bird to a normal healthy status quicker.
