NATURAL ACTIVE
It's a product made
of vegetal extracts to have a good gut
microflora balance in monogastric animals and,
as a consequence, it helps animal welfare.
Natural Active
as
feed integration is one way to maintain good gut
microflora balance, in fact thanks to its
formulation (made with vegetable extracts,
pectins and toasted cereals) it is a good
substrate for gut microflora, also in such
difficult conditions such as intensive livestock
growing.
Natural Active,
with its special formulation, has several
complementary actions. Pectins can absorb water
and therefore regulate the consistence of faeces
both in case of diarrhea or constipation, and
they represent a good substrate for the growth
of beneficial microflora .
Vegetable extracts
have a good adsorbent and astringent effect, and
they can contribute to reducing the smell of
manure.
Toasted cereals
have an excellent protective property for gut
walls and represent a good substrate for
microflora.
We can conclude
that Natural Active can protect the gut mucosa
and as a consequence we have an improvement in
nutrient assimilation and an enhanced production
of short chain fatty acids and a good
antidiarrhoeal effect.
