Accra, Nov. 28, GNA – Greenlife Company Limited on Tuesday launched a poultry product, ‘Chicken Protector’ – feed additive from Israel that helps to achieve 98 percent weight gain in broilers.
Additionally, the product could significantly boost the laying capacity of layers.
Ms. Marian N. A Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said apart from weight gain and feed efficiency it could also reduce mortality.
It improves the immune system of the birds, meat quality and treats diseases.
“Once you use chicken protector your feed cost would be lower and would be best to use in the brooding stage and it is orally administered. The essential oil and plants reach the intestines, where they are absorbed into the blood, and from there their molecules reach every bodily organ and begin to function.”
“Chicken Protector” is produced by an Israeli Company, - “Dr. Ramez Company Limited”.
Mr. Gabriel Mark Khavin, Official Factory Representative of the Company, said Ghana needed to do more to end its importation of chicken.
The country should be able to produce enough chicken locally and this would require technology.
He noted that many farmers in Ghana had been struggling with the problem of high bird mortality and this needed to be tackled.
The company was in the country to help bring to it the new plant-based technology.
Mr. Anthony Akunzule, a former Deputy Director of Veterinary Service and FAO Consultant, expressed concern about the inappropriate use of drugs by farmers.
There was also the problem of increasing import of frozen chicken and poorly managed poultry farms.
He said feed constituted about 75 to 78 per cent of the production cost in poultry in Ghana, and that farmers had been cutting corners to reduce the feed cost, often leading to feed-related health problems
He encouraged farmers to use the Chicken Protector, saying the first week of life of day-old chicken was critical and Chicken Protector was the best product to take care of that.
