FORC3
Driving the Next Generation of Animal Health: Good Grain Network Partners with Axitan Inc. to Revolutionize Southeast Asia’s Livestock Production with FORC3®
A New Era of Antibiotic-Free Solutions for Southeast Asia
Good Grain Network is immensely proud to announce a landmark distribution partnership with Axitan Inc., a global leader in next-generation, antibiotic-free solutions for animal health. This strategic alliance positions Good Grain Network as a key player in the battle against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a global health and economic crisis. We are set to introduce Axitan’s flagship product, FORC3®, to the Southeast Asian market, offering producers a powerful, science-backed alternative to conventional antimicrobial use in livestock.
This partnership is not merely a commercial agreement; it is a commitment to the health, sustainability, and economic vitality of the region’s vital animal agriculture sector. With the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizing Southeast Asia as a critical hotspot for AMR emergence, the need for innovative, effective, and non-resistance-triggering solutions is more urgent than ever. FORC3® is the answer, providing an essential tool for producers navigating stricter regulatory environments and growing consumer demand for antibiotic-free animal protein.
FORC3®: A Game-Changer in Pathogen Control
FORC3® stands at the forefront of the biotech revolution in animal nutrition. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, FORC3® harnesses the power of endolysin enzymes, a class of highly specific, natural antimicrobial agents. Endolysins are enzymes derived from bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) that can specifically target and rapidly destroy harmful bacteria without causing them to develop resistance.
The Power of Endolysin Technology
Axitan’s proprietary endolysin-based technology is a genuine game-changer, rewriting the rules on how to manage and mitigate common livestock diseases. FORC3® is specifically formulated to combat Clostridium perfringens, the primary causative agent of Necrotic Enteritis (NE) in poultry—a devastating gut disease that leads to significant mortality, poor growth rates, and substantial economic losses for farmers globally.
Key Advantages of FORC3®:
* Targeted and Specific Action: The endolysin in FORC3® only targets the cell wall of the harmful Clostridium perfringens bacteria, leaving the beneficial gut microflora intact. This specificity is crucial for maintaining a healthy and resilient gut environment.
* Zero Risk of AMR: Since endolysins destroy the bacterial cell wall via a purely enzymatic, mechanical action, they do not trigger the genetic mechanisms that lead to antimicrobial resistance, a critical differentiator in today’s evolving regulatory landscape.
* Performance Enhancement: Beyond pathogen mitigation, FORC3® has been demonstrated to significantly enhance production metrics, including:
* Reduced Mortality/Improved Livability
* Enhanced Weight Gain
* Optimized Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR)
FORC3® enables producers to protect their flock’s health while simultaneously achieving superior economic returns, representing the ideal synergy of Good Health and Good Economics.
Addressing the Unique Challenges of Southeast Asia
The intensification of livestock production across Southeast Asia—driven by increased consumer demand for protein—has unfortunately led to a corresponding increase in antimicrobial consumption, exacerbating the region’s AMR threat. Countries are actively developing and implementing National Action Plans on AMR, with stricter regulations on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters becoming the norm.
Good Grain Network is perfectly positioned to support this transition. Our deep understanding of local market dynamics, supply chain complexities, and regulatory landscapes, combined with Axitan’s world-class, scientifically validated solution, creates an unmatched offering for producers in countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
We understand that for a solution to be successful in this market, it must deliver on three core promises: efficacy, safety, and profitability. FORC3® delivers on all three, providing a sustainable pathway for the region’s poultry industry to move decisively towards antibiotic-free production models.
