Innovative Approaches to Aviculture

Phageolytix is actively engaged in bringing innovative solutions to the field of aviculture. The United States represents a substantial market opportunity for poultry farm owners who are engaged in commercial production of chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other poultry for both meat and egg production. 

According to the US Department of Agriculture, approximately 233,770 poultry farms were operational in 2020, with scales ranging from small to large, specializing in particular types of poultry or producing multiple types. These farms collectively produced more than 9 billion broiler chickens, 220 million turkeys, and over 100 billion eggs to cater to an ever-growing demand.

The poultry industry grapples with considerable challenges, most notably, the threat of infectious diseases like Newcastle disease, NE, and salmonella. These diseases can ravage flocks, leading to significant financial losses and threatening profitability. For example, a 2010 salmonella outbreak in egg production, which affected over 500 million eggs, resulted in an estimated economic impact of $142 million

To mitigate these risks, poultry farm owners need to enforce stringent biosecurity protocols and craft successful disease prevention strategies. In this crucial endeavor, Phageolytix plays a pivotal role, ensuring the protection of their flocks and the sustainability of their businesses.
