Study reveals that the combination of Yes-Golf EGG and Organic Mineral Blends increases production performance, egg quality and bird longevity

With the objective of evaluating the supplementation of Yes-Golf Egg and Yes-Minerals on the productive performance, egg quality and longevity of birds, Yes, a company from the Aqua Capital fund and which develops biotechnological solutions for animal nutrition and health, carried out an industrial scale trial at Granja Yamaguishi, located in Jaguariúna (SP), to analyze the effectiveness of the solutions.

Granja Yamaguishi is internationally recognized, as it works only with organic products. It is formed by a community of Japanese producers whose objective is the production of organic 100% food, with a direct sales system – door to door, differentiating the product in terms of quality and price in the market.

The test

A total of 2,785 birds of the Lohmann Brown lineage with an initial age of 43 weeks were evaluated. The birds were subdivided into five lots and distributed in different treatments. The analyzes started in 2020, however several trials are still being carried out to find out which is the best combination for this production.

As it is an organic company with an egg production system free range, Granja Yamaguishi respects and contributes to the preservation of the environment and animal welfare. Precisely by sharing these principles, Yes sought to insert its solutions in this farm, since its products are also intended to promote animal welfare and ensure sustainable production.

As the property does not work with antibiotics, it is essential to use a natural additive that promotes the proper balance of the intestinal microbiota and acts to strengthen the immune system, hence the decision to include Yes-Golf Egg in all your diets.

Difficulties in the production of commercial laying hens

One of the main problems in commercial laying hens is the eggshell quality. As birds age, egg size and weight increase, but calcium deposition for shell formation does not increase at the same rate. Therefore, any solution that improves the thickness and quality of the shell is welcome in this activity.

When measuring the shell thickness of a considerable number of eggs during the test, it was found that, between weeks 46 and 49, the control group - without the use of Organic Minerals from Yes - had a shell thickness of 41.85 mm compared to 45 mm from Treatment 2 (Yes-Golf Egg 1.5 kg/t + Yes Ca 1.5 kg/t).

This indicates that, with the addition of Yes Organic Calcium, the bird will have an egg with stronger and more resistant shells.

Action of iron on skin coloring

With the tests, it was possible to observe that the birds supplemented with Yes-Minerals Fe had greater thickness and skin color.

Whenever birds are supplemented with Organic Minerals, the animal retains more mineral in tissues and bones to be used when necessary.

During the first four weeks of starting the use of Organic Mineral, its benefits are still not so evident, because the animal is still accumulating reserves of minerals. After four weeks, it is already possible to see a very significant result with the use of Organic Minerals. In eight weeks, the bird/animal is fully supplied with minerals to be used when needed.

According to the Lohmann Brown bird's genetic manual, it has the potential to reach 93% of production in the 46th week of life. The birds in the T2 treatment (Yes-Golf Egg 1.5 kg/t + Yes Ca 1.5 kg/t) managed to reach this productive percentage against 90% of productivity of the birds in the control treatment.

When the breeder added the Yes technologies to the birds' diet, he had, in a short period, an increase in the farm's production, as a result of hens being better prepared to produce eggs, even without the use of growth-promoting antibiotics and original flours. animal.
