Feed acidifiers for microbiota balance, optimal
digestion & performance
Control pathogens and keep your animals healthy with less antibiotics
The Nutracid brand covers a range of slow-release feed acidifiers to modulate the microflora in poultry and swine by controlling the growth of harmful bacteria and improving gut health.
Optimal gut health is key to farm success.
Let Nutracid feed acidifiers help with a preventative approach.
Is your poultry and swine performance suffering from:
- Digestive disorders?
- Diarrhea or wet droppings?
- Reduced growth rate?
- Increased susceptibility to infections?
- Increased mortality?
- Poor appetite?
The role of our feed acidifiers in monogastric gut health
- Modulates the microflora
- Enhances pathogen resistance
- Strenghtens intestinal defense
- Reinforces the immune system
- Increases nutrient absorption capacity
- Improves production
In the past, low doses of antibiotics were added to animal feed to improve the growth of poultry and swine. However, this practice came under scrutiny due to its negative consequences. The widespread use of low-dose antibiotics has contributed to the antibiotic resistance in bacteria and the presence of antibiotic residues in meat and other animal products, posing a significant threat to human and animal health and safety.
Nowadays, with the increased demand for antibiotic-free diets in animal production, producers are continuously looking for safe and natural alternatives. It is well known that organic acids can act in two ways:
- bacteriostatic, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, and
- bactericidal, which directly kills them
Want to achieve a healthy gastrointestinal tract in your animals?
Nutracid’s feed acidifiers, a key component in animal nutrition.
The Nutracid products consists of well-balanced combinations of organic and inorganic acids and their salts, with or without the addition of essential oils. It helps manage the balance of bacteria in the digestive tract of pigs and poultry, leading to improved overall gut health, better digestion, and more efficient use of feed.
The Nutracid range is characterized by a proprietary targeted slow‑release technology. The active components are embedded in a matrix of vegetable triglycerides and are only released when these vegetable fats are degraded by the fat‑degrading enzyme lipase, which is secreted by the pancreas. This allows for a gradual release of the active components thereby ensuring effectiveness throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract.
Optimize gut health from top to bottom:
Inside the action of Nutracid’s slow-release gut acidifiers
The underlying mode of action is to suppress the pathogenic micoflora and stimulate the beneficial flora and digestion by:
- modulating the intestinal microbiota
- stimulating the epithelial cells
- promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract
- improving the digestibility of the feed
- lowering the pH level in the GIT
Don’t let gut health issues hold your animals back.
The secret to gut success: Nutracid’s slow-release gut acidifiers
The Nutracid product range enjoy widespread recognition as effective and pathogen-fighting slow-release gut acidifiers. They are the secret to gut success, offering a two-pronged approach to optimal gut health in poultry and swine.
By fortifying the intestinal barrier and disrupting harmful pathogens, Nutracid helps maintain a healthy microbial balance in the gut through modulation of the intestinal microbiota, promoting a healthy digestive system. Controlling the pH factor is crucial here. Most harmful microbes thrive in high pH environments. Nutracid’s acidifying properties create a less favorable environment for their growth and multiplication, effectively controlling their populations within the feed and digestive system. This, in turn, leads to improved animal performance, including better growth rates, feed efficiency, disease resistance, and reduced reliance on antibiotics.
