Mucoreactiv 200 Gram – Coccidiosis and Intestinal Balance – Ornizìn

MUCOREACTIV is the new supplementary feed that ORNIZIN has been developed for the rational management of the intestinal flora in ornamental birds, with special attention to gram-negative bacteria that have a negative effect on the intestines.

The product has been developed to meet the modern needs of professional breeding: it reduces microbial pressure in the intestines, supports the mucous membranes and limits the use of growth-promoting antibiotics, especially during the most delicate phases (reproduction, weaning, moulting).

DESCRIPTION

MUCOREACTIV is a functional food additive based on postbiotics , consisting of peptides with antimicrobial activity , mainly produced by Citrobacter pasteurii en Citrobacter braakii .

The product is designed for the control of intestinal flora and has proven efficacy against important Gram-negative enterobacteria such as:

• Escherichia coli
• Citrobacter spp.
• Salmonella spp.

It can be used in feed for all animal species and categories, and is particularly suitable for the breeding of ornamental birds, where the stability of the intestinal flora is a crucial factor for:

• normal growth of young subjects,
• reproductive efficiency,
• reduction of premature mortality.

COMPOSITION

Raw materials

• Cereals
• Vegetable oils and fats
• Vegetable by-products
• Postbiotics (inactive, heat-stable antimicrobial peptides)

Technological additions

• Antioxidants: E320 – E321

Target species

• Ornamental birds

NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS

• Crude protein: 12%
• Crude fat: 12%
• Crude fibers: 4,5%
• Crude ash: 4%

COMPOSITION – FUNCTIONAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

• Antimicrobial peptides:
  • thermally stable
  • pH independent
  • resistant to the action of digestive enzymes

Thanks to these properties, the active ingredients reach the intestinal wall in a functional form , which maintains their biological activity even after food processing and passage through the stomach.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Postbiotic antimicrobial peptides: mechanism of action on Gram-negative bacteria

The antimicrobial peptides in MUCOREACTIV PLUS fall into the category functional postbiotics , or non-viable microbial metabolites that can exert a direct biological effect on the intestinal ecosystem.

Their main mechanism of action is aimed at the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria , a typical structure of these microorganisms and one of the most important factors for:

• high environmental resistance,
• greater therapeutic difficulty.

The peptides:

• interaction with the lipopolysaccharides of the outer membrane,
• change the permeability of the cell wall,
• which causes the structural integrity of the bacteria to be rapidly lost.

The end effect is the selective reduction of the amount of pathogenic enterobacteria , without exerting the selection pressure characteristic of classical antibiotics.

INSIGHT

Effect on the intestine and the mucosal barrier

In addition to its direct action against pathogens, MUCOREACTIV plays an important role in supporting the intestinal environment:

• contributes to the stabilization of intestinal flora.
• promotes colonization by competing saprophytic flora.
• Reduces the chance of opportunistic overgrowth.

In small ornamental birds the intestinal mucosa is a real immune organ .
A balanced intestinal flora ensures:

• reduce the production of bacterial toxins,
• reduce the subclinical inflammatory response,
• improve the efficiency of nutrient uptake,
• support the integrity of epithelial connections.

The practical result is a more stable gut, less prone to dysbiosis and more resistant to the environmental pollution typical of intensive livestock farming.

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

MUCOREACTIV is a highly effective product for combating pathogenic intestinal flora (Gram-negative bacteria), designed to:

• form a valid alternative to growth-promoting antibiotics ;
• have a positive effect on the microbiota, which helps to establish a balanced saprophytic flora is promoted;
• Strengthen intestinal protection with activity against a broad range of gram-negative enterobacteria.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use:

6g per kg end product
in:

• culture pastes,
• complete nutrition.

Regular use is especially recommended:

• during playback,
• at weaning,
• in periods of environmental or management stress,
• as support for programs to prevent bacterial intestinal infections.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BREEDING USE

It is recommended to to sufficiently chlorinate drinking water to prevent the following:

• algae propagation,
• accumulation of organic material,
• development of microbial biofilms,

which may hinder the overall effectiveness of the bowel control program.

Particularly suitable for breeders of:

• Putters (local and frigoris),
• Canaries,
• Parrots,
• All ornamental birds are captive bred.

In finches, where susceptibility to Gram-negative enteritis is high and the impact on chick fertility and growth is often significant, MUCOREACTIV is a valuable tool for nutritional prevention.
