As a poultry farmer with more than 10,000 birds, a swine farmer with that many heads under management, or a corporate animal nutritionist, you probably follow the price projection for soybean meal—and lower your protein content or vary your protein sources accordingly.
If you decide to lower your protein content—without some type of enzyme supplementation—your animals will not gain as much weight. But a lower-protein diet plus Versazyme® keeps your feed costs down and your animals' body weight gain (BWG) up. As long as the cost of adding Versazyme® is less than the cost of the protein you're cutting, you come out ahead.
How a Lower-Protein Diet Saves Money
Case Study - Here is how a poultry farm in North Carolina made their operation more cost efficient with Versazyme®: The farm implemented Versazyme® and fed 10% less soybean meal, reducing the chickens' overall protein intake from 23 to 21%. The farm went from spending $14/metric ton for soybean meal to just $7/metric ton—a huge cost savings. And the best news: the birds reached their target weight by market.
