Unique digestive system
The intestinal length of poultry is shorter compared to mammals. In order to gain sufficient digestive time, the poultry digestive system uses a reflux, which means that the feed moves in two directions. In young animals, alfalfa supports the development of the gizzard. The fibers from alfalfa stimulate reflux and intestinal peristalsis and retain moisture and nutrients in the intestine for longer. Through optimized digestion, drier manure is excreted, the bedding stays drier and any infection pressure is reduced.

Poultry behavior

Why roughage?
