Essync®

Gut-health performance, without the antibiotic

A proprietary blend of an organic-acid acidifier, a standardised essential-oil fraction and a bioavailability enhancer working together to support gut health, nutrient uptake and performance through non-antibiotic modes of action. In a 35-day broiler benchmark, Essync matched or outperformed an industry-leading butyrate product and an antibiotic growth promoter.

3-in-1 Modes of action
#1 Growth & feed efficiency
AGP-free Antibiotic replacement
The challenge

Two pressures on every broiler diet.

Modern poultry production pulls in two directions at once: cut diet cost without losing performance, and remove antibiotic growth promoters while keeping the gut-health and efficiency benefits they historically delivered.

The real test for any additive is not whether it beats an untreated diet it's whether it can match or exceed the established products a producer would otherwise reach for. So we benchmarked Essync against exactly those.

Benchmarked against

An industry-leading butyrate product
An antibiotic growth promoter (AGP)
A full-specification reference diet
How Essync works

Three modes of action, one additive.

Acidifier, phytogenic and absorption enhancer acting on gut pH, the microbiota, mucosal integrity and nutrient uptake, not through antibiotic activity.

01 Acidify

Organic-acid acidifier

Lowers gastrointestinal pH to enhance protein digestibility and suppress acid-sensitive enteric bacteria.

02 Protect

Standardised phytogenic fraction

Essential-oil compounds with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity that support mucosal integrity.

03 Absorb

Bioavailability enhancer

Improves nutrient uptake so more of the ration is converted into gain rather than passing through.

Key benefits

Antibiotic-free gut health

Delivers gut-health benefits through acidification and phytogenics not antibiotics.

Beats the benchmark

Numerically ahead of an industry-leading butyrate product on both growth and FCR.

Credible AGP replacement

Out-grew the antibiotic growth promoter, which recorded the lowest gain in the trial.

Better feed conversion

The lowest FCR of any programme in the 35-day study more gain per kg of feed.

Performs on leaner diets

Sustained full performance on a reduced-cost base diet supporting cost-down formulation.

Two species, two variants

Essync-P for poultry gut health, Essync-R for rumen function and feed efficiency.

Inclusion rate

Dosage

Blended into complete feed across all phases. 500 g per tonne is the working inclusion rate identified in the broiler benchmark.

In the trial, 500 g/t out-grew 300 g/t by +4.3% and improved FCR by about 2.6% confirming 500 g/tonne as the working rate.

The evidence · broiler benchmark

Best in trial for growth and feed conversion.

A 35-day floor-pen study of 714 broilers benchmarked Essync 500 g/t head-to-head against an industry-leading butyrate product and an antibiotic growth promoter all sharing one reduced-cost base diet.
