PROGUBTA ACID

PROGUTACID bundles the different antimicrobial functions of the SCFA (short chain fatty acids) in one product. This allows for a wide antimicrobial spectrum throughout the gastrointestinal tract. SCFA’s lower the stomach pH, improving digestion and increa­sing the barrier function against harmful microbes. They have a bactericidal effect in an acidic environment, mostly against G-bacteria. PROGUTACID contains 100% active substances, acids and their calcium salts with a unique combination which have a wide range of functionalities. Indeed, at a lower pH and more particularly in the presence of strong acids such a the calcium salts of the SCFAs will turn into their respective acid form such as formic- , propionic, butyric lactic acid and etc.  PROGUTACID reduces the growth of harmful bacteria in the feed and improves the quality and shelf live. Consequently, this will lead to a lower infection of harmful bacteria in the gastro-intestinal tract as a result of the intake of a lower contaminated feed.
