The Innovative Melela Product Range
field and laboratory
test results
Pathogens
nipped in the bud
Laboratory tests at the Agricultural Research Centre (ARC) in Onderstepoort,
near Pretoria, show that Melela products
suppress the growth of the pathogenic bacteria E.coli, Clostridium botulinum
and Salmonella sp.
Higher
PEF values
Field trials at various broiler producers in KwaZulu Natal show that
the use of Melela products consistently
improves productivity. Higher production efficiency factors (PEF values) are
achieved – see table below.
No
more drugs
Experience shows that expenditure on antibiotics, pesticides and
chemicals is reduced when Melela products are
used on a regular basis.
Cleaner
Environment
Sweet smelling litter/droppings/effluent with low biological oxygen demand
(BOD) and reduced ammonia levels.
Here are some of the carefully monitored field trial
results obtained using Melela with broiler
chickens on KwaZulu Natal farms:
