Why is Day 1 Critical?

With a naive, immature immune system, a long delay in exposure to first water and food after hatch, along with many other stressors, can cause significant problems. This first week in a commercial broiler’s life is approximately 16% of their productive life, so it’s important they get off to a HeadStart. A strong correlation exists between day 7 health & weight of a chick compared to the ending health and body weight. You cannot get back these first critical days, so ensure they get off to a HeadStart.

What is HeadStart?

HeadStart is a day-of-hatch, highly digestible, and concentrated gel for hatchlings. HeadStart delivers a unique blend of multi-Bacillus-based microbial that can deliver post-hatch enteric vaccines, crucial nutrition, hydration, and beneficial microbes to the newly hatched chick.

Why HeadStart?

  • Hydration is essential for the chick’s life; early access after hatch is critical

  • Day 1 vitamin requirements to ensure the chick is receiving the critical nutrients after hatch

  • Novela ECL (multi-strain Bacillus DFM) to seed the GI tract with beneficial microbes before exposure to the environmental challenges and stressors in the brooder and grow-out houses

  • Energy to fuel the chick’s essential bodily functions

  • Ability to deliver enteric post-hatch vaccines
