In livestock production, Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella pose significant threats to animal health, causing digestive issues, weakened immune responses, and reduced growth. While traditional acidifiers help lower the pathogen load, their effectiveness often diminishes after passing through the stomach, leaving animals vulnerable. The lack of sustained pathogen control can lead to compromised digestion, increased disease risk, and lower profitability for producers.

BEX Micro Defend provides a powerful solution by combining Short Chain α-Monoglycerides, Short Chain Fatty Acids, and Phytogenic Compounds for enhanced pathogen control. This glyceride-fortified acidifier not only reduces pH levels in the digestive system but also ensures that monoglycerides remain active throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. These components inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, reducing pathogenic load, improving gut health, enhancing nutrient absorption, and ultimately boosting overall animal performance.

SHORT CHAIN α-MONOGLYCERIDES

The combination of Short Chain α-Monoglycerides is highly effective because these α-monoglycerides have the ability to pass through the stomach without degradation and remain active throughout the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Their antimicrobial properties target Gram-negative bacteria at smaller doses, making them an efficient and cost-effective tool for pathogen control.

SHORT CHAIN FATTY ACIDS

Short Chain Fatty Acids optimize the pH level in the digestive system, creating an environment that promotes nutrient absorption and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. This balanced pH improves feed conversion rates and supports animal growth.

PHYTOGENIC COMPOUND

Compounds boost the product’s antimicrobial effects by enhancing the penetration of bacterial cell walls. These compounds also support the animal’s immune system, contributing to greater resilience against pathogens.

Dosage is species dependent

Together, the composition of BEX Micro Defend creates a synergistic effect, reducing pathogen load of Gram-negative bacteria, optimize pH levels, while enhancing overall animal health and boosting performance.
