Unique Australian Clay: A Non-antibiotic Solution for Poultry Production Potential Large Exports to Asia

A one-of-a-kind formulation of Australian clays has proven it can reshape the global poultry feed economic landscape.

Numerous scientific, clinical, and commercial producer validations have demonstrated the product’s significant benefits; including the reduction of feed costs; improvements in growth; meat yield; feed conversion; heat stress; eggshell quality and production; reduced inflammation and mortality in layer and broiler production. 

It has been demonstrated that it can reduce reliance on antibiotics. Additionally, it would create a scalable export opportunity for international markets with an Asian focus. The proprietary non-antibiotic product is produced by Multi Minerals Australia Pty Ltd, from a large quarry that has operated for over 50 years.

The unique clay feed component directly addresses two of the global poultry industry’s biggest concerns:

Feed economics. The highest operating cost - feed. This organic clay stockfeed component reduces feed cost per tonne. The clay formulation has been priced below the cost of a tonne of stockfeed, wherever landed globally.

By seamlessly replacing 5% of traditional ingredients, this proven stockfeed component is incorporated into the feed in its powdered form.  The product has been used globally, outperforming market alternatives.

Antimicrobial stewardship. The formulation is positioned as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters, supporting industry efforts to reduce reliance on chemical therapeutics and providing a non-antibiotic option as producers respond to antimicrobial-resistance concerns.

The product has backing from Government bodies, research consortia, and industry leaders advocating for antimicrobial resistance solutions.

The company’s near-term priority is poultry market expansion internationally; subsequent opportunities include; cattle, dairy cows, pigs, horses, aquaculture and pet food, with human health applications subject to further development and validation.

Separately, the quarry supplies thermal-resistivity and related materials to solar, wind and other infrastructure projects This diversified resource base supports operating resilience. View www.multiminerals.com.au
