UltraCruz® Poultry Probiotic Supplement for Chickens

  • Supports digestive health in chickens
  • Contains prebiotics and probiotics
  • Helps maintain healthy microbial populations
  • Mix into drinking water

UltraCruz® Poultry Probiotic Supplement for Chickens supplies a comprehensive collection of key prebiotics and probiotics to help maintain digestive health in chickens and maintain flock health. This probiotic supplement may be especially beneficial during stressful events such as antibiotic therapy or changes in diet. It is provided as a palatable powder that mixes easily into the drinking water.

Prebiotics are sources of non-digestible, soluble fiber that serve as food for probiotics, to help increase the number of beneficial bacteria present in the digestive tract. Example of prebiotics include: arabinogalactan, fructooligosaccharides, inulin, mannanoligosaccharides, pectin and psyllium.

Probiotics are live microorganisms (bacteria and yeast) fed to promote healthy digestive and immune function. When these "good" bugs break down food ingredients that the body normally cannot, they produce energy and vitamins for the body, and help maintain a healthy balance of gut flora.

This high quality formulation contains over 200 million CFU (colony forming units) of beneficial bacteria and prebiotics to give chickens the jump start they need to help them handle stressful events. To support total body health in chickens with essential vitamins and minerals, we recommend feeding UltraCruz® Poultry Wellness Supplement for Chickens.

FOR THE PROBIOTICS DOSE THE SCOOP HAS A LINE. DO I FILL THE ENTIRE SCOOP OR JUST FILL TO THE LINE? THE ELECTOLITE SCOOP IS HALF OF THE SIZE, WHICH IS EQUALENT TO THE PROBIOTIC SCOOP TO THE LINE

Asked by: YVONNE
Hello! You use the whole scoop for the probiotics, it should be 6g when you do it this way. The UltraCruz Poultry Electrolyte is a rounded scoop which should be 5.3g. They are similar in dosage, but not quite the same.

Would your probiotic remain viable if used in the water when I soak grains, usually oats, for my chickens? I typically soak 1 to 3 scoops (3-quart scoop) of oats in 2 to 4 gallons. After the oats swell and/or ferment, I drain them and feed.

Asked by: Richard
Hello! We recommend using our UltraCruz poultry probiotic in drinking water. While this would still probably work, the best way is ingestion through the drinking water.

Ib how many? Kg or litter or gm ?

Asked by: Nur Ahammad
Hello! We have both a 2lb and 10lb bucket of the UltraCruz Poultry Probiotic. To administer the product to your flock, mix one scoop per gallon of drinking water and change out the water every 12 hours. (One scoop will equal 6g.)

I add poultry probiotic to warm water and mix well, but later I notice that some of the product has formed a circle at the bottom of the waterer. In other words, it apparently is not completely dissolving. Do you have any tips? Thank you.

Asked by: twEEdB97
Hello! The circle you see may be some of the product falling out of solution. This is likely just the carrier for the bacteria which will be ingested by the poultry through the water, so it should not negatively alter the effectiveness of the product. To prevent this from happening in the future, you may decrease the amount of solution given to the animals and change the water more frequently.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Probiotics are a must have for ChickensI use it when making a wet feed mash and the birds love it! One of the best deals on a pretty clean probiotic supplement. Probiotics for poultry can help eliminate the need for additional treatments by protecting the healthy balance of flora in the gut. They are my go to for regaining and maintaining health; they can be used as treatment and prevention. Really important as a restorative after copper or other antibiotic (natural or otherwise) It has really helped as part of the treatment protocol for sourcrop too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Materials fresh and cleanI've been using the CRUZ products probiotics for a year and a half ,now I've been giving it to my Pigeons and the quality of the feathers and the health is exceptional!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy Chickens!I started giving this product to my chicks to help with digestion. My chicks seem so much happier when I give them this product, and they drink a lot more when I add this. I did see we didn't have Pasty Butt once I added this to the water. Another big bonus both the meat and layer chicks had a lot more energy. The chicks are happy with this product which makes me happy. Another bonus is this is super easy to mix in the water, I love that it doesn't have any coloring added to it. I will definitely be buying more of this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent dealVery good product, I used for all my flock from younger to older ones and they all see to enjoy their water with the probiotics and the electrolytes I used for the the little chicks when they arrive from the mail it help them a lot right away. The flock are looking way better and the egg production has been more higher with the hens. Since it’s has been raining haven’t tried yet the rest of the other products, but no doubt that is a great product, I already made another order of other stuff too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use, chickens enjoy itUnlike many other supplements you add to the water, the chickens really like this probiotic. It doesn’t have an awful smell and the water doesn’t look bad. The chickens still enjoy their water and this as helped any sour crop issues and digestive issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from the best!!Been using this for over a year and will not go to any other brand anymore. I make sure I add this to their water daily. My girls and in pretty good health due to these awesome products. This combined with the electrolyte supplement are a blend.
