BDC agri at the British Pig and Poultry Fair 2018

BDC agri's Steve Graffham and Greg Dunn with Benjamin Pollet of Dietaxion (centre)

BDC agri enjoyed a very busy and successful couple of days at the British Pig & Poultry Fair on 15/16 May.

Our stand focused on three products:

1. Our new PIGLETO supplementary milk replacer for piglets, manufactured by our longstanding French trading partners, Lacto Production.

2. COBIOTEX, the world's first registered bacteria-based biocide:

3. Agrosom's PIDOLin PCa calcium pidolate, which has successfully been used in UK poultry production for nearly a decade, but is now also being introduced into pig production, following some very exciting trial results.

Our daily prize draw for a 20kg bag of PIGLETO was won by Craig Brown of Porters Animal Feeds and Callum Duff of Rattlerow Farm Pig Breeding Development.

We were joined by our friends Benjamin Pollet of Dietaxion and Andre Yves Bourges of Nutringredients and his wife Dominique.

While many people made their way to the BDC agri/Agrosom stand to talk to Greg, Steve and Benjamin about the products we supply, even more came along to claim their free BDC agri squishy pig, after seeing them on social media in the run-up to the show. Check out this blog post for pics of the adorable #BDCagriPigs on their long journey from Mersea Island to Stoneleigh.

The #BDCagriPigs make the long journey from Mersea Island to Stoneleigh ...

In case you missed them on social media, here are the BDC agri squishy pigs, on their trek from Mersea Island in Essex, all the way to Stoneleigh in Warwickshire.

We're looking forward to escorting another litter of #BDCagriPigs to the British Pig & Poultry Fair 2018.

COBIOTEX - the world's first registered bacteria-based biocide

COBIOTEX uses good bacteria to combat bad bacteria.

As formalin is gradually banned because of its noxious effects on humans applying it, there

is now a bacteria-based alternative to chemical disinfection.

COBIOTEX is a French laboratory that has developed combinations of bacteria, based on

bacillus and lactobacillus, that aggressively colonise surfaces, outcompeting bacteria such

as salmonella, e-coli, streptococcus and staphylococcus.

COBIOTEX can be applied in fogging or in powder form, to sanitise livestock buildings

before stocking or with livestock present, in a totally safe environment for the animals.

The powder form significantly reduces mastitis when applied to bedding, and the biofilm (fogging) form sanitises buildings prior to stocking, followed by the powder form whilst animals are present.

There are also versions of COBIOTEX for treating slurry and manure.
