1999-fear
of cross resistance to human drugs results in EU ban on antibiotic growth promoters
(avaparcin, tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin and zinc bacitracin)
demands
from pig and poultry producers for a suitable natural alternative that would
a) maintain performance
b) suppress sub-clinical microbial infections
HAMECO
AGRO B.V., leaders in microbial control systems, develop HAGRO
- a highly effective product backed by science.Design process:
exhaustive
literature search on all things antibacterial
short-list
in-vitro
screening for antibacterial activity
in-vitro
testing of ingredient combinations exploiting synergistic relationships
selection
of optimum formulation
in-vivo
testing for antibacterial activity
in-vivo
performance testing
emergence
on new theory on mode of action (not pH/acidification effect).Result:
control
of pathogenic bacteria (inc. Gram positive)
secondary
control of moulds and toxins
protects
feed nutrients
enhances
feed digestibility
allows
better use of nutrients for improved performance
stable
under extremes of temperature
non-antagonistic
to therapeutic antibiotics
no

no
contribution to drug resistance
ingredients
approved by the EU
registered
and approved by local authorityHow to use HAGRO:
Antibiotic
growth promoters not used? Replacement by HAGRO has been proven scientifically and commercially to give equivalent, often better, performance.
Antibiotics
growth promoters in use? HAGRO has been shown to give further improvements in performance over and above any existing performance enhancer or antibiotic treatment.
