Original XPC in poultry feed supports intestinal health and integrity with multiple modes of action to balance the immune system, support the intestinal microbiome, and optimise intestinal structure.

AviCare in poultry drinking water is designed for use before and during production challenges such as fasting, transport, and other atypical situations. AviCare also can be used continuously in the drinking water, along with Original XPC in the feed, during all life stages.
