Not only do we have slow release bases that will benefit this situation, we also have a stabilized Vitamin C that has been used to replenish the Vitamin C capacity of these stressed horses.

Yes, our technology can help overcome the odor and deliver to the lower gut of animals. Note that Sodium Butyrate has been shown to increase villi height which means enhanced absorption of nutrients. The challenge has always been how to deliver this substance to the lower gut. Our microencapsulation precision release technology can do this.

Indeed, our company can do this on a toll basis. We would then use our proprietary technology to stabilize the enzymes for use in steam pelleting and other applications. We have been stabilizing enzymes now for over 10 years for use in animal feeds.

Yes. Our proprietary microencapsulation technology has been used to protect unstable nutrients such as Vitamin C and other labile ingredients through feed processing and storage and to enhance the bioavailability of these ingredients. For coated microencapsulated Vitamin C for example, there is a 100% retention through processing and delivery. In steam pelleting, there is a Read More »

Organic acids are used to reduce the pH in the small intestine of simple stomach animals such as pigs and poultry diets in order to provide a greater resistance to pathogenic bacterial infections. Post weaning diarrhea is one of the most frequent causes of heavy economic losses in pig herds. Before 2006, health strategies widely Read More »

According to information found in NAS. 1980. Mineral tolerance of domestic animals. Natl. Acad. Press, Washington, DC. p. 256-276. Cattle, sheep, and chickens have been fed 10 ppm supplemental lead in a soluble form for extended periods without adverse effects. Significant increases in tissue lead levels occurred when 100 ppm lead was fed to the Read More »

When ruminal pH drops below 5.4, it causes subclinical acidosis (characteristic of lactating cows) and feed intake to be irregular or reduced. When it drops below 5.0, it causes acute acidosis more typical with feedlot diets. Any pH below 6.0 also depresses Neutral Detergent Fiber digestion by cellulolytic bacteria, so holding ruminal pH up not Read More »

Regarding butyrate, individuals with irritable bowel syndrome and celiac disease have an abnormal microbial population in their intestines according to a presentation by James Versalovic, an MD gastroenterologist from Baylor (paper 625 from the Dairy Foods Symposium. Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Probiotic Function in Man and Animals. 2010 Joint Annual Meeting. ADSA/PSA/AMPSA/CSAS/WSASAS/ASAS. Denver, CO). Read More »

Short chain fatty acids such as butyric acid play a major role in the body. Several researchers have shown that butyric acid is necessary for the normal development of epithelial cells in simple stomach animals also known as monogastrics. Epithelial cells in the small intestine aid in the absorption of nutrients. The higher the height Read More »

Copper sulfate, carbonate, and oxide often are the inorganic forms of copper most often fed to cattle. Sulfates have the highest biological availability while carbonates and oxides have intermediate and very low (if any) bioavailability, respectively, according to Ammerman and Miller (J. Anim. Sci. 35:681; 1972). Copper chelated with organic materials (linked to amino acids Read More »
