Background of outbreak of Sudden Death Syndrome in Kathmandu Valley. During the first week of August 2008 there sudden increase in mortality of broilers above 6 week age (Table 1). There are no premonitory signs. Just before death, birds appear normal and it is common to observe the birds feeding, drinking or walking normally. Then suddenly, affected birds exhibit clinical signs such as extending...

09/02/2009 | Very interesting article!! Authors are applauded for their effort to control SDS.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce briefly about ACIDISOLE Liquid feed supplement which could prevent the problem.

ACIDISOLE assist in the acidification of the bird’s entire digestive tract providing a controlled release of selected organic acids, to assist the development of beneficial gut microflora.

ACIDISOLE is a unique formulation containing high concentration of synergistic direct acting protected organic acids which controls the pH of drinking water (pH 4.5 to 5.5)

Protected organic acids are capable of resisting immediate digestion in the intestine and can help control Gram negative entero-pathogens from all sources.

Organic acids are lipid soluble so that they are able to enter the microbial cell. Once in the cell, the acid releases the proton in the more alkaline environment, resulting in a decrease of intracellular pH. This influences microbial metabolism inhibiting the action of important microbial enzymes and forces the “bacterial cell” to use energy to release protons, leading to an intracellular accumulation of acid anions. Organic acids exert their antimicrobial action both in the feed and in the GI-tract of bird.

Organic acids increase palatability of feed thereby better consumption of feed. Better-feed consumption enhances better production.

The other benefits of ACIDISOLE in drinking water are:

1) Kills bacteria (E.Coli, Salmonella) & fungi in feed.
2) Reduces mortality upto 50%
3) Acidifier + Sanitizer prevents growth of Bacteria/Algae in water &
water pipelines.
4) Improves digestion - Improved FCR
Improved weight gain
5) Reduction of ammonia in litter.
6) Reduction of moisture in litter
7) Fewer foot pad problems
8) In layers and breeders improved egg shell" style="font-size:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;">egg shell strength and egg
cleanliness.
