Our products are based on the use of probiotic bacteria selected from the intestinal microflora of SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) birds, which act according to the concept known as “Competitive Exclusion”, a live mixed culture of microorganisms with the capacity of installing themselves in the intestinal tract and producing health benefits to their host.
In addition to probiotics, prebiotics are also a part of the composition of some of our products, these being non-digestible substances that selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, acting as food for the probiotics. This combination of probiotic with prebiotic is known as symbiotic.
Functional foods have been used in the substitution of growth promoting antibiotics in poultry feed, improving the zootechnical indexes by improving the intestinal quality, immunological response and eggshell, and reducing pathogens such as Salmonells, E. coli, Campylobacter and Clostridium perfringens.
These beneficial actions are a result of competition for binding sites, the production of antibacterial substances, nutrient competition, and stimulation of the immune system, with synergism between them. The prebiotics serve as a substrate for the growth and selection of bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus.
