CHICAGO, Aug. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amlan International will showcase how its natural, mineral-based alternative to antibiotics is transforming poultry production worldwide during an upcoming television episode of “Built in America: INNOVATION NATION” on Fox Business Network, airing August 30 at 4:00 p.m. Central U.S. Time.
The episode highlights Amlan’s extensive commitment to mineral and animal health research, providing mineral-based formulation solutions that affect consumers around the world.
“Amlan’s unique product solutions such as Varium® are helping poultry producers meet consumer demands, maintain bird health and provide positive economic returns,” says Flemming L. Mahs, President of Amlan International.
In the episode, Dr. Hongyu Xue, Amlan’s Director of Life Sciences, explains how the natural feed additive Varium protects the intestinal lining of chickens, energizes cells for growth and stimulates natural immunity, resulting in birds with improved health. He discusses how the product has helped producers eliminate or reduce the use of in-feed antibiotics to promote growth and discontinue the use of less effective feed additives.
“The safety and integrity of our global food supply have never been more important,” Xue says. “The recent COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth several questions surrounding food safety and food security. We are proud to share how our products are helping to address food supply challenges while also meeting consumer preferences on a global scale.”
