Summary of Rovabio™ Excel use in Turkey Feeding Trials

Formulation "Up-Lift" Method: Similar or better performance occurred validating the 30kcal energy "up-lift" in corn/soybean meal diets.

"On-Top" Method: Bottom Line Performance improved as seen below:

  1. An improvement in Adjusted Feed Conversion of 6 to 9 points in Turkeys
  2. An improvement in feed cost per unit of gain, return per bird and breast meat value
  3. A trend towards an improvement in bird uniformity
