Calpid+’s ability to reduce lameness, improve broiler welfare and optimise economic performance margins makes it a comprehensive solution to today’s industry challenges.
IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF YOUR ANIMALS’ PAWS BY MAXIMIZING WELL-BEING AND ECONOMIC RETURN
In a previous newsletter we shared how CalPid D+ is revolutionizing skeletal health management in broilers, marking a before and after in poultry farming with a focus on animal welfare.
In this newsletter we are pleased to present the results of a new field study in the UK, which reaffirms the significant benefits of CalPid D+ in reducing lameness and improving economic performance in broiler farms.

CURRENT RELEVANCE OF ANIMAL WELFARE
Continued after the commercial.
He United Kingdom has been a pioneer country in the Implementation of advanced animal welfare practiceswith a particular focus on leg health and lameness assessment in broilers.
For years, British farms have understood the importance of monitor lameness as a key indicator of animal welfare.
However, in much of Europe, This assessment is not carried out in such a rigorous mannerdespite the fact that lameness has a significant impact on both the welfare of the birds and the economic return of our farms.
IS YOUR FARM PROPERLY ASSESSING LAMBDERNESS?
Recent studies show that a better management of paw health not only reduces waste during production, but also Reduces rejections at the slaughterhousethus optimizing production and profitability margins.
It is essential that farms across Europe adopt these pioneering standards to maximise both animal welfare and profitability. Is your farm adequately assessing animal welfare?
This recent study in the UK was carried out on two large farms, each with 264,000 birds, where different dosing regimes of CalPid D+ were tested. The results obtained not only corroborate the efficacy of the product, but also reveal substantial improvements in several key parameters:
- Reduction in Mortality: A decrease of up to 33% in total mortality was observed in birds supplemented with CalPid D+ compared to control groups.
- Better Paw Health: Discards due to leg problems were significantly reduced, with a decrease of 61%.
- Fewer Rejections in Processing: On-farm rejections related to skeletal problems also showed a notable reduction, which translates into less losses during processing.
- Increase in economic return: 11% more compared to ships that did not receive CalPid D+.
STRENGTHENING ANIMAL WELFARE
By proactively addressing skeletal problems from the first days of a chick’s life, CalPid D+ contributes to more robust bone developmentreducing the incidence of lameness and improving the quality of life of the birds. Isn’t this a primary goal for any farm that aspires to the highest welfare standards?
CalPid D+ is formulated to support during two critical points of growth.
1. The first, during the first days of lifewhen there is a deficit of vitamin D and available calcium due to the decrease in the levels of vitamin D absorbed from the yolk sac, combined with the low level of feed intake observed in the chick during its first week of life.
2. And the second, from the second weekaimed at supporting the bird as its skeletal growth rate increases, especially after the dietary transition.
POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT
In addition to the animal welfare benefits, CalPid D+ also brings a significant economic advantage.
Reduction in health problems and lower mortality rates translate directly into better financial returns for producers.
In the study, an increase was seen in 13% in economic return per square meter per weekhighlighting the profitability of implementing CalPid D+ in supplementation programs.
These new findings reinforce the commitment of CalPid D+ with continuous improvement in poultry health managementIts ability to reduce lameness, improve broiler welfare and optimize economic performance margins makes it a comprehensive solution to today’s industry challenges.
Is your farm ready to take the next step toward superior animal welfare and increased economic return? As always, we will continue to share more results and studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of CalPid D+ on the way to a more sustainable and profitable future for poultry farming.
