Bacteria

High levels of harmful bacteria in farm livestock such as E coli, Salmonella, clostridia, streptococcus can give rise to such issues as:

• Diarrhoea/looseness
• Drop in fertility
• A rise in reproductive problems
• Reduced poultry egg hatchability
• Dirty eggs
• Lower numbers born alive
• Fewer days to slaughter

The control of feed and water borne harmful bacteria and the promotion of a more beneficial microfloral environment by the use of Genex Poultry, Genex Pig, Genex Sow, Genex Ostrich, and Genex Lap for breeding poultry, broilers, layers, turkeys, pigs, rabbits, ostrich and game birds is well known. The concern over antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) Worldwide has lead Optivite to develop the Genex brand of products to overcome the probable performance shortfall in micro-organism control when AGPs are not used.

The impact of salmonella on human health cannot be under-estimated. salmonella bacteria are present everywhere and there is a need for a “total approach” to control of this organism in the feed and food chain. The first step in the feed chain is to control the presence of salmonella in feed raw materials and in feed by using Optivite's Salgard.

In addition to bacterial problems, there can be associated problems due to the presence of moulds and yeasts. Optivite's Moldgard product is targeted at this specific problem.
