Elanco becomes exclusive distributor of GALLIPRO FIT

Following an agreement with leading microbial solution manufacturer, Chr. Hansen, Elanco Animal Health has now taken over sole UK distribution of GALLIPRO FIT, the only triple-strain poultry probiotic proven to support consistent gut health. 

The innovative probiotic offers a natural, effective way to support stable gut health by building a robust microbiome, allowing birds to optimise feed efficiency and therefore performance. 

Polly Davies, Elanco monogastric sales leader, explains that as gut health is fundamental to achieving good and consistent poultry performance, GALLIPRO FIT can prove a viable option to incorporate into rations.

“What makes the probiotic different is the fact it contains three carefully selected, naturally occurring bacterial strains: two B. subtilis and one of B. amyloliquefaciens,” she says. 

“The combination of bacteria works together to support Intestinal Integrity, contributing to feed utilisation and improving the bird’s microbiome, while delivering excellent returns on investment.” 

Ms Davies adds: “GALLIPRO FIT can be used in two different ways. Firstly, to tackle a bacterial challenge, such as Enterococcus or E. Coli, and secondly to maintain long term performance, ultimately contributing to a healthier, more productive bird.” 

She explains that Chr. Hansen has over 100 years of probiotic development experience and a strong ethos of science-based product development. With similar company values in mind, Elanco makes the ideal distribution partner, especially given their expertise in Intestinal Integrity. 

“Alongside our existing products, Maxiban™, Monteban™ and Hemicell™, GALLIPRO FIT will further help support improvements in Intestinal Integrity, enhancing overall bird health, ultimately leading to more efficient production,” Ms Davies says.

Since its launch, GALLIPRO FIT has demonstrated on-farm success in various aspects of bird health and production, including performance improvements in the birds' feed conversion ratio (FCR) up to 3 points¹ and body weight by up to 58 g².
