What 25,000 Vietnamese broilers taught us about PhytoX

A long-time customer of one of our distributors in Vietnam offered to run a side-by-side trial: 12,500 birds on PhytoX, 12,500 on the AGP they'd been running for years. Same hatchery, same feed mill, same vet, same shed climate.

By day 42, the PhytoX group hit FCR 1.62 against the control's 1.78 — an 8.4% improvement. Mortality dropped from 4.1% to 2.3%. The producer ran the maths in front of us: at 25,000 birds per cycle, the saving was around USD 11,400 per year per shed, before counting the regulatory upside of going AGP-free.

The follow-on order arrived inside a week. More importantly, the producer asked whether they could run PhytoX in a third shed without telling their parent company yet, because they wanted clean data they controlled before the conversation.

That's the kind of confidence we're trying to build, one farm at a time.
