THE PRODUCT:
BACT-A-CID is a combination
of free carboxylic acids and their ammonium
salts on a mineral carrier.
This combination ensures that the organic
acids pass through the stomach to reach
the small intestine and hindgut. BACT-A-CID
particles become colonised by acidophilic
commensal bacteria that release lactic
and butyric acids into the gut lumen.
This helps protect the animal’s
gut from colonisation by enteropathogens
such as, E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter
and Clostridium.
BACT-A-CID helps to maintain a healthy
gut in newly weaned piglets by supplementing
natural acid secretions in the gut.
In growers and finishers BACT-A-CID
reduces E. coli numbers in the small
intestine, preventing damage to the villi,
which are essential for nutrient absorption.
BACT-A-CID helps to maintain a lower
gut pH, reducing the antagonistic effect
of stress, and so ensuring that performance
is maintained right through to slaughter.
The use of BACT-A-CID in sow rations
reduces the background levels of E. coli,
Salmonella etc. in the colon / rectum
and so minimises horizontal transmission
of pathogens to the suckling piglets
via the sows’ faeces.
MAJOR BENEFITS:
- BACT-A-CID enables the acidification
of the entire gut to improve digestion,
growth rates and feed efficiency.
- BACT-A-CID
reduces intestinal disorders resulting
from coliform and other enteropathogenic
bacteria.
- BACT-A-CID reduces the environmental
pathogen burden.
- BACT-A-CID uses
liquid formic acid as the primary
acidifier, as recommended by the EU
BIOHAZ Panel
(2004).
- BACT-A-CID is safe and
easy to use, being non-corrosive
to equipment
and storage bins.
- No resistance,
residues or withdrawal time.
