Gut Health
Intestinal health is the most determining factor for animal health in general, herd performance and eventually farm profitability. Pathogenic bacteria may colonise the gastrointestinal tract and result in clinical and sub-clinical disease. Reduced feed intake and daily gain, inactivity and decreased social interactions are all observed in animals with bacterial infections.
Livestock producers are often forced to make use of unconventional protein and carbohydrate sources or materials of lower quality. This means that animals are constantly challenged with changing diet compositions and quality, which cause risks for their health.
Stress often leads to health challenges and intestinal disorders and is linked with the ‘leaking gut’ syndrome. The end-product is subclinical inflammation which can cost up to 30% of the animal’s energy requirements.
Regulation, food safety and animal welfare are also setting up new trends towards limitations or restrictions of antibiotic usage for disease treatment, medicated feed, zinc oxide etc.
By controlling the microflora in the lumen and strengthening the intestinal epithelium integrity, Lumance® offers a comprehensive GUT HEALTH MANAGEMENT program that aims at reducing medication or cocktails of medication.
Lumance® is a complex structure, which contains the newest generation of butyrate, combining slow release and protection technologies, ensuring that acids, medium- chain fatty acids, essential oils, anti-inflammatory compounds and polyphenols are delivered in a gut active way for powerful and effective antibacterial control, high quality tight junctions, neutralisation of the produced ROS and tempering of the inflammatory cytokine production.
Lumance® is an effective and powerful tool to reduce inflammation, promote villi growth, tighten the intestinal junction and stabilise the microflora.
