Probiotics are identified at three levels: Genus, species and strain. Studies confirm that health benefits are strain-specific and only rarely apply to species.

In Chr. Hansen research and development is the foundation of all our products. We believe that a microorganism is only as good as the science backing it. In other words, probiotic strains supported by scientific studies must have proven efficacy and proven safety. Only then can the end-user feel confident that they get exactly what they are paying for: A probiotic that works.

The strains used in Chr Hansen's probiotics for poultry are specially selected for their superior probiotic features. In our probiotics for poultry we use different species of Bacillus. Bacillus are particularly well suited for use as probiotics for poultry as they are spore formers (a metabolic dormant stage) and thus highly resistant to environmental stressors. These natural properties are highly advantageous from a commercial perspective and mean that Bacillus-based products have long shelf life, keep their viability during distribution and storage, and can survive pelletization. Upon ingestion the spores germinate into their metabolic active stage.

All our probiotics are produced to the highest technical and quality standards in state-of-the-art, purpose built facilities. Our strain production is FAMI-QS and ISO certified. Each batch is analyzed for content of active ingredient and impurities. All our products are proven safe for humans, animals and the environment.
