Managing the Increased Bioburden During the Free-Range Poultry Housing Order.

Writer's picture: Neal HughesNeal Hughes

The Challenge


With the UK housing order in place, free-range poultry are being moved indoors. While necessary, this shift significantly increases:


Bacterial load in housing.


Stress on bird immune systems.


Poor litter and air quality.



These conditions can harm welfare and productivity if not managed properly.



The Solution: Enviro Spore


Enviro Spore is proven to create a healthier indoor environment for poultry. Here's how it works:


1. Reduces Pathogens:

Lowers harmful bacteria like E. coli.



2. Boosts Bird Immunity:

Balances the microbial environment, easing immune stress.



3. Improves Litter Quality:

Reduces ammonia and promotes a cleaner, safer environment.




Application is simple:

Dust Enviro Spore evenly across the poultry house, focusing on litter areas for maximum effect.



Act Now


Don’t let the housing order impact your birds. Enviro Spore is an easy, proven solution to safeguard their health and maintain performance.


In this blog, we’ll explore:


The impact of increased environmental bacterial load in poultry housing.


How indoor conditions affect bird immune systems.


The role of Enviro Spore in maintaining a healthy environment and boosting bird welfare.



The Challenge: Increased Bacterial Load Indoors

When free-range poultry are moved indoors, the env

ironment can quickly become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria like E. coli. With limited space and less access to natural outdoor conditions, the microbial balance in poultry housing shifts significantly, impacting:


Litter quality.


Air quality.


Bird health and immunity.

How This Affects Bird Welfare and Performance

Indoor housing, while necessary during the housing order, places additional stress on birds. The combination of environmental changes and bacterial load can weaken immune systems, leaving flocks more vulnerable to disease outbreaks. This affects:


Growth rates and feed conversion.


Egg production and quality.


Overall welfare and performance.


The Solution: How Enviro Spore Supports Poultry Health

Enviro Spore is specifically designed to address these challenges by promoting a healthier microbial environment in poultry housing. Here’s how:


1. Reduces Pathogens

Enviro Spore’s Bacillus strains compete with harmful bacteria like E. coli, reducing their presence in the litter and surrounding environment.



2. Enhances Bird Immunity

By lowering the pathogenic load, Enviro Spore supports the birds’ natural immune defenses, reducing stress and improving resilience.



3. Improves Litter Quality


The product helps balance the microbial environment in the litter, reducing ammonia levels and maintaining better overall housing conditions.


4. Proven Science, Trusted Results

Enviro Spore has been independently tested and proven to create healthier, more sustainable poultry environments, even in high-pressure conditions like indoor housing.


Why Acting Now Is Crucial

With the housing order in effect, farmers must take proactive steps to protect their flocks from the challenges of indoor conditions. Enviro Spore provides an easy-to-use, effective solution to reduce bacterial load and create a healthier environment for birds to thrive.


Conclusion: Support Your Flock During the Housing Order


The transition to indoor housing doesn’t have to come at the cost of bird health or performance. With Enviro Spore, you can create a balanced, sustainable environment that promotes welfare and productivity.
