BIENEN Co., Ltd. hosted its second international technical seminar at the 2026 Tainan Livestock Expo this morning (May 7) at 11:30 in Hall Nusantaria A. Dr. Christian Lückstädt, Technical Director of the Feed Division at ADDCON GmbH (Germany), returned to deliver a keynote on "The Synergy of Organic Acids and Phytogenics: An Integrated Strategy to Enhance Poultry Performance and Gut Health." The hall was packed with poultry producers.
Dr. Lückstädt highlighted that bacterial contamination has become a major challenge for poultry producers, leading to increased mortality, reduced daily weight gain, and rising veterinary costs. He emphasized that organic acids — particularly formic acid and its salts — have been widely proven to enhance production performance: by suppressing pathogens, they reduce the immunological burden on the animal, allowing more nutrients to be channeled toward growth and other productive functions.
The presentation focused on the application of acidifiers in drinking water systems, which not only improves water hygiene but also further elevates poultry performance indicators. Dr. Lückstädt detailed the strategic combination of third-generation liquid acidifiers with plant-derived active compounds. Given the additional anti-inflammatory potential of these phytogenic substances, this combined approach has delivered remarkable results across both European and Asian markets.
BIENEN introduced its newly launched pwrPlanz OK as a concrete implementation of this concept. Dr. Lückstädt concluded by urging producers to safeguard poultry health and farming economics through preventive measures against pathogenic contamination, such as the new water hygiene management concept advocated by ADDCON. The session generated enthusiastic response, with inquiries pouring in continuously.
