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

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.
