Advancing Poultry Health and Food Safety: SK8 Biotechnologies’ Visit to Indonesia
SK8 Biotechnologies is proud to share highlights from our recent visit to Indonesia, where we joined forces with leading researchers and policymakers to advance sustainable solutions in poultry health and food safety.
We extend our gratitude to Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB University) for hosting us, the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture for supporting this vital collaboration, and Dr. Havan Yusuf for his outstanding leadership in organizing the seminar.
Salmonella Control Through Bacteriophage Innovation
At the seminar, key findings demonstrated the potential of bacteriophages as a powerful tool for Salmonella control in poultry productionSeminar Bacteriophage-In Vitro,…. Salmonella is a silent challenge for farmers—often asymptomatic in flocks, yet a leading cause of foodborne illness and costly recalls worldwide.
Research confirmed that bacteriophages can:
Reduce Salmonella in broilers by directly targeting harmful bacteria without disturbing beneficial gut flora
Protect food safety at the farm level, minimizing the risk of contamination and strengthening recall prevention
Support animal welfare by reducing disease burden in flocks naturally and effectively
Enhancing Poultry Health and Performance
Beyond pathogen reduction, the studies revealed additional benefits for poultry farmers:
Improved gut health and immune response in treated birds
More stable growth and better feed conversion rates
Reduced signs of infection, leading to healthier, more resilient flocks
This means farmers can achieve stronger performance outcomes while also safeguarding consumer trust in their products.
Replacing Antibiotics With Natural Solutions
One of the most exciting outcomes of this research is the validation of bacteriophages as a viable antibiotic replacement. With increasing global restrictions on antibiotic use in animal farming, producers need safe and sustainable alternatives.
Phages offer exactly that:
A clean-label solution that aligns with consumer demand for transparency
Reduced reliance on antibiotics, helping to combat antimicrobial resistance
A long-term strategy for balancing productivity with sustainability and animal welfare
Building a Safer Future for Poultry Farming
Our collaboration in Indonesia shows the strength of uniting science, government, and industry around a shared goal: protecting poultry health while ensuring the highest standards of food safety.
At SK8 Biotechnologies, we remain committed to delivering bacteriophage solutions that help farmers:
Control Salmonella effectively
Enhance flock health and welfare
Replace antibiotics with sustainable alternatives
Prevent costly recalls and protect brand reputation
Together, we can create a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future for poultry farming.
