AROMABIOTIC PIGS

At different stages of life, a pig is stressed by external factors. Weaning is probably the most critical period in the pig’s life. The process of being separated from the sow is extremely stressful for the piglet. Moreover a new hierarchy should be established and the feed structure and composition change considerably. Also at later stages, in grower and finisher pigs, the intestinal health is stressed by relocation and feed changes. Gut health is influenced by 3 major factors being continuously in interaction with each other. By supplementing Aromabiotic to the diet the microflora and mucosa are influenced in a positive way, resulting in improved health and zootechnical performances.

Aromabiotic®MCFA acids with added value:

1 Highly antimicrobial:
Cell membrane permeabilisation and destabilisation together with cell content acidification and DNA intercalation result in high antimicrobial activities of Aromabiotic MCFA. This results in a strong suppressing and stabilising effect on the gut flora.
2 Reducing pathogen virulence: 
Aromabiotic MCFA reduce virulence through their anti-invasive effect on pathogens like Salmonella and their inhibitory effect on microbial lipases (needed for pathogen attachment).
3 Improving intestinal morphology:
By improving villi/crypt ratios Aromabiotic MCFA result in a better intestinal morphology increasing nutrient absorption.
4 Improving immunity:
Through a beneficial effect on neutrophil quality Aromabiotic MCFA improve immunity.
