Effects of Aromax Dry in Calves

May 17, 2022July 8, 2022

It was hypothesized that applying Aromax Dry via milk replacer and creep feeding to young calves can support the digestive and respiratory health of the animals and can reduce the incidence of diarrhea, cough and dyspnea.

According to the comparison between the data and the actual situation of the calf field, we experienced that with the application of Aromax Dry, the overall morbidity decreased relative significantly.

Journey of feed through the digestive tract (Part II)

February 23, 2021February 24, 2021

Following the feed through the digestive system in our last article, we talked about the journey from the beak of the bird to the gizzard.
Until this point, feed already has started to be digested and broken down. Now it is time for the animal body to intensify digestion and absorb all nutrients.

Therefore, a long and intricate track is needed; the intestine!

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) or Gumboro is a disease affecting poultry health which increases mortality due to bursal atrophy in the broiler. Another cause of this disease is immunosuppression. Therefore, enhancing immunity is a good strategy to support the animals against this disease.

In this study, Turbo Tox was tested along with Gumboro vaccination to evaluate the immune-modulatory effect.

Effect of Renal Cleaner in Broilers

November 24, 2020April 28, 2021

The trial was started in two different houses with the same nutritional plan and other relevant factors. The number of birds in each house was 10.000 and houses were placed next to each other.

At the end of second cycle, there was difference between two groups with 300 gr more feed consumption and 172 gr more body weight for Renal Cleaner group.

Ovostrong (XVET Germany) enhancing the performance parameters on laying…

The eggshell is a protective shield for the contents of the egg, giving not only a structure but also a membrane that allows the egg to exchange gas and humidity through it. Good eggshell quality is affected by various factors such as the strain of the animal, age, usage of medications, stress, and nutrition. One important factor that can be enhanced is nutrition; the addition of a good and balanced source of calcium and phosphorus will help to improve the eggshell quality. A bad eggshell quality will result in broken eggs, deformed eggs, or bad hatchability; which translates to big economic losses for producers.

The results of this study are showing that Ovostrong administration in layer farms will help to obtain higher performance levels by increasing egg quality and egg production rate; which will lead to a higher return on investment, especially in older laying hens.

How are birds defending against pathogens?

October 21, 2020October 21, 2020

Poultry as well as other animals must have a way of protecting their body from external factors that can create problems. These defenses are going to fight against various antigens (microorganisms and their metabolites) to decrease the possibility of the animal getting sick; this protection mechanism it’s called immune system.

To reduce the possibility of a non-properly working immune system, there are nutritional inclusions that can be made to enhance and support the immune system, in the form of feed and water additives.

In XVET, there are many products that can support the immune system, utilizing different ingredients and approaches that have been proven to have a strong effect. Three important products which are directly helping immune system are:
· Turbo Tox and Dyna-MOS: Smart formula rich in high quality ß-Glucans and MOS
· Zincotin: Highly bioavailable organic Zinc

The two organs that maintain life

September 22, 2020September 23, 2020

The animal body is a complex group of organs and systems working in sync, performing different functions to maintain the whole body healthy. Two organs that play an important role on avian body homeostasis are the liver and the kidney.

In the aim to maintain a healthy organism and align to perfection through harmony, these two important organs have to be taken care of to avoid future problems. XVET’s Metavolin Herbal and Renal Cleaner supports the proper functioning of the liver and the kidney.

Novosol enhancing the performance parameters of broilers

September 18, 2020March 1, 2021

Short and medium-chain fatty acids had been historically used in poultry production due to their effect on improving animal’s performance parameters. The mixture of tchese fatty acids with specific essential oils has been proven to work in synergy providing extra benefits such as growth promoter and antioxidant effects.

During this trial the effect of Novosol (Short and medium-chain fatty acids plus specific essential oils) was recorded after the addition of Novosol (XVET Germany) into the drinking water of broiler chicken for just 4 days, resulting in an improvement on the mortality rate as well as the body weight gain.
