In this trial it was possible to change B-SAFE inclusion level and we know that it is more benefic for animals' gut flora to vary B-SAFE concentration. But some of our customers prefer using B-SAFE at a fixed level during all the breeding period and it works too. It depends on your facilities and your objectives.

Dear Pat Banjo, charcoal and B-SAFE have probably different functions and modes of action. B-SAFE is activated by copper: a very low level of copper is enough to have antimicrobial activity of B-SAFE because of the localisation of copper at the surface of the clay (very thin particules size). Generally charcoal is more used to bind toxins and this is not the target of B-SAFE. B-SAFE acts more on b ...

To Sergio Velez: a third group would have been probably better, you're right; but it was a field study with a customer and only 2 treatments were possible. We have divided the buildings into 2 groups and fed animals as usual=ad lib. But we have done other trials in research centers with more treatments that show the same trend as this trial (in comparison with antibiotics growth promoters). B-SAFE ...

Dear Dr Dhar, thank you for your comment. Dear Desalew Tadesse and dear Dr Rath, thank you for your questions. B-SAFE is an activated clay that means that during the manufacturing process there is an ion exchange. This ion exchange is highly controlled to obtain a positively charged entity (B-SAFE). Once in the gut there is an attraction between B-SAFE and the bacteria (negatively charged on the ...

IntroductionAntibiotics have been used for decades in broiler chicken production for their gut microflora regulation effect, resulting in growth promotion. Governments and consumers are more and more aware of damageable consequences of in routine use of antibiotics and as a consequence, there is a growing need for farmers to find alternatives without loosing profitability. In this context, a paten ...

To Leo Antony : Dysbacteriosis refers to an imbalance of the microbial flora. Within this article it is the gut microflora. As it is written, we don’t know the exact composition of this flora but, when some bacteria as Campylobacter or Clostridium increase in the digestive tract, there is a change in the flora balance and there is a risk of intestinal mucosa damages and intestinal motility c ...
