What are the challenges in this part of the digestive tract?

As the crop is mainly for temporary food storage before release into the harsher environment of the proventriculus and gizzard, it can be an initial site of colonisation by some gram-negative organisms which negatively impact the bird.

What solution could be provided by an enzyme/probiotic combination?

Select a combination product consisting of:

• an enzyme with a broad pH range which can start digesting feed as soon as possible to help minimise nutrients available to negative organisms and
• a probiotic component that can help rapidly establish a community of organisms that positively impact the bird
