Most types of add-ons vegetarian Feedstock is regulated within the European Union as essential oils or plant extracts are licensed under this category 2 food additives (sensory additives); or 2b (odours) according to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
- In 2012, Delacon Company, Today part of the CARGILL collectionIt was the first company to obtain registration under the name Animal additive For a vegetable product for use in pig feed (Fresta® F).
in March 2017The European Commission published the entry of another product of plant origin as an animal additive For chickens and small bird speciesWhether for fattening, breeding, or reproduction, Biostrong®510 AD.
Biostrong® 510 AD It is a plant-based additive based on a unique blend of microencapsulated essential oils, bitter substances, disinfectants and saponins approved by the European Food Safety Authority in March 2017. Animal additives to positively influence production performance Reducing feed costs In chickens and small bird species, whether for fattening or for breeding and reproduction.
- The mixture of active products contained in Biostrong® 510 AD Allow Improve digestion Of nutrients and Reduces nitrogen content Of waste, saponins inhibit urease activity, preventing the formation of ammonia. An additive authorized for use in organic production (Rg 848/2018).
This translates into a combined action of its compounds that allows Reduce ammonia emissions by up to 50%.
The main pathway for bacterial ammonia production is dilute hydrolysis.
- he nitrogen It is excreted by the kidneys in birds Uric acidwhich It can decompose quickly To urea by the enzyme urease in the presence of water.
- Accordingly, the The enzyme urease breaks down urea to shape Ammonia and carbon dioxide.
The saponins present in it Biostrong® 510 ADIt enables to reduce ammonia formation by inhibiting urease activitySaponins can also bind directly to ammonia.
Figure 1 shows the results of eight tests Broilers and layers Where you see Average discount 32% (Between 18 and 65%) in ammonia emissions with supplements Biostrong® 510 EC.
Improve digestion of feed using Biostrong® 510 AD Allow Improving growth and feed conversion of broilers by 1.2% and eggs by 1.9%.
Improved protein digestion allows Reducing the amount of fermented protein Which the animal does not use and is available to it Proteolytic plants (Clostridium sp., Salmonella sp., Campylobacter sp.etc.) are responsible for various diseases of the digestive system that have a significant impact on the health and productivity of animals (Bortoluzzi et al., 2023).
One of the causative factors A Poor intestinal integrity Is it Imbalance in intestinal microbial activity in it Duodenum And the Fasting person Due to poor digestion of nutrients.
Microorganisms can break down Bile acidsWhich reduces fat absorption while competing with the host for nutrients.
- Some by-products produced in Microbial fermentationsuch as biogenic amines and ammonia, irritate and damage Intestinal walldestroying the intestinal lining and increasing the turnover of intestinal cells.
This lack of integrity of the intestinal epithelium Impairs net nutrient absorption Which the bird digested.
- Moreover, it will serve as A portal for various microorganisms or their toxins Which may cause other health problems in addition to misuse of nutrients.
this way, Antioxidant capacity Of essential oils Reduces the oxidation of fatty acids in intestinal cellsthus reducing the turnover rate of intestinal cells, thus improving intestinal integrity.
- These described capabilities, therefore, effectiveness Biostrong®510 AD It has been shown in various productions: Chickens, turkeys and ducksas well as in Egg-producing birds (Putting chicken and quail).
Some data on our main products follow below.
In various digestion tests conducted in many universities, both inside and outside Europe, it was used Biostrong® 510 AD Improving the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile acids.
Moreover, in all experiments Ileal digestion of feed nutrients It is based on corn, wheat and soybean flour provided to chickens up to 21 days old.
Use 150 grams Biostrong® 510 AD/ton of feed, ileal digestibility of all nutrients was improved compared to control feeds (P < 0.001; Table 1).
In addition, Biostrong® 510 AD Improves the productive performance of chickens from 0 to 42 days on corn, wheat and soybean based feeds.
As shown by the results of the meta-analysis of five experiments conducted with the product in Tables 3 and 4, the chickens who consumed it Biostrong® 510 EC Improved feed conversion by 3% after 35 days and by 5% after 42 days (P < 0.01).
An ileal nutrient digestion trial was conducted at the University of Illinois with 59-week-old brown Highline chickens in which the chickens were fed a diet based on corn, wheat, soybeans, and corn DDGs.
Feed supplements with Biostrong® 510 AD Improve ileal digestion of key amino acids (Figure 2) f Improving the egg laying rate, egg mass and feed conversion of chickens (Figure 3).
the Authority opinionan independent expert review of the various studies presented, highlights this Biostrong® 510 AD Not just a marketing product,
“It has been proven effective in both Improving animal performance, such as improving the digestibility of food nutrients“.
This opinion about Safety and effectiveness Biostrong® 510 AD Provides more than a Scientific review Independent of our plant based product, as it provides evidence of High potency of its active botanical ingredients and their synergistic effects in advanced botanical product formulations.
