Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea in young farm animals may be caused by bacterial or viral infections, inadequate nutrition or insufficient care of newly born calves.

The most effective way of eliminating diarrhoea is prevention. It is the most efficient and financially viable course of action in cattle production.

Carefully selected acids regulate the pH level in the entire digestive tract. Feed acidifiers thus make it possible to reduce the incidence of diarrhoea in young livestock, and low acidity of the digestive tract stabilizes the body’s bacterial flora. In this way, the growth of diarrhoeacausing E. coli bacteria is stopped. In addition to a better health status, acids used in the form of acidifiers also help achieve better feed conversion rates and higher body weight gains.

Main benefits of acidifying additives:

• reduce the incidence of diarrhoea
• regulate the pH level along the entire digestive tract
• stabilize gut microflora
• activate gastric enzymes
• improve the health condition of young animals
• increase body weight gain
• sanitize feed or water
