Livestock are continually exposed to pathogens like Grampositive bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus spp., Clostridium perfringens) and fat-enveloped viruses (e.g., Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV)). These pathogens can compromise immune function, decrease feed efficiency, and reduce productivity, with young animals being especially at risk. Managing these threats requires a powerful, easy-to-apply solution that complements vaccines and antibiotics or serves as an alternative.

BEX Body Defence Liquid provides a comprehensive approach to pathogen management and immune support. The potent combination of medium-chain a-monoglycerides and shortchain fatty acids offers a lasting antimicrobial effect. The a-monoglycerides remain active throughout the digestive tract, disrupting Gram-positive bacteria and fat-enveloped viruses. Meanwhile, propionic and formic acid synergize to lower pH levels, creating a hostile environment for pathogens and enhancing nutrient absorption. As a water-soluble solution, BEX Body Defence Liquid can be administered directly via drinking water, providing animals with immediate support, especially beneficial for young or susceptible livestock. Together, these components enhance natural body defenses, fostering healthier, more resilient animals.

MEDIUM CHAIN a-MONOGLYCERIDES

Medium chain a-monoglycerides have shown to be active against a broad range of Gram-positive bacteria. Studies suggest that it disrupts the lipid bilayer of the bacterial cell membrane, forming micelles and eventually inducing cell lysis. A similar effect is observed in fat enveloped viruses where the viral lipid bilayer assembly is inhibited by monoglycerides. a-monoglycerides are pH-independent, making them active throughout the GIT.

SHORT CHAIN FATTY ACIDS

Short Chain Fatty Acids work together to lower pH in the digestive tract, creating an environment unfavorable to harmful pathogens. By stabilizing the gut microbiome and enhancing nutrient absorption, Short Chain Fatty Acids support gut health and feed conversion efficiency. This acidifying action also strengthens the effectiveness of other antimicrobials.

PHYTOGENIC COMPOUND

The phytogenic compound in BEX Body Defence enhances the product’s antimicrobial action by disrupting bacterialmembranes, inhibiting quorum sensing, and blocking ATP production. These effects weaken bacteria and fat-enveloped viruses, leading to their inactivation and providing robust protection throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

Dosage is species dependent

BEX Body Defence Liquid offers effective, long-lasting pathogen control and immune support, specifically crafted for application in drinking water systems. With its unique combination of a-monoglycerides, short-chain fatty acids, and a phytogenic compound, BEX Body Defence Liquid is an essential solution for producers seeking to protect livestock health, optimize performance, and reduce dependence on antibiotics.
