Product Intra Nutri-Mix
What will the farmer observe?
When poultry experience (heat) stress, their hormone
status changes and their feed index drops to reduce
metabolic heat production. Besides the reduced feed
intake (nutrients and vitamins), and thereby reduced
growth rate, mineral excretion is increased and they are
immunologically challenged.Therefore, when it is not
possible to prevent stress, additive supplementation via
the drinking water is preferred. Intra Nutri-Mix contains
a unique combination of organic acids, essential amino
acids and chelated minerals which have a positive
impact on the health and performance of chickens
enduring stress.
Why Intra Nutri-Mix?
1. Suppress micro-organisms:
• Organic acids: according toWageningen University,
49 different studies with lactic, formic and propionic
acid gave consistently positive results and therefore
organic acids were defined as the best alternative to
antibiotics.These organic acids have a wide pH range
for effective bactericidal activity
• Chelated Cu: is directly bactericidal
2. Increase protein digestibility:
• Organic acids: lower the pH in the stomach to
around 4.0 and convert protein chains by pepsin to
peptides, the small building blocks which are directly
digestible
• Essential amino acids: no conversion is needed as
amino acids can be directly digested
3. Improve intestinal integrity:
• Chelated Zn: Zinc supplementation improves the
production of antibodies and supports the primary
(dominantly IgM) and secondary (dominantly IgG)
immune response system. Furthermore, chelated
zinc restores the intestinal epithelium to ensure
healthy villi
4. Liquid supplementation through drinking
water:
• Directly applicable by the farmer at stress moments
• Rapid intake, direct results
• Weak animals eat less, while continuing to drink
To demonstrate the efficacy of Intra Nutri-Mix in
practice, multiple field trials were performed. By
administering Intra Nutri-Mix to the drinking water
of broilers, the 7-day weight, growth rate and feed
conversion rate (FCR) were improved and a positive
result on reducing the number of aflatoxin cases was
reported. At an international breeder farm, Intra Nutri-
Mix significantly reduced 1st and 4th week mortality.
With layers, an improvement in egg colour, laying
performance and a heavier egg weight of +11.8% was
observed in reference to the control group.
The way to cope with stress
Supplementing poultry with Intra Nutri-Mix, a mix of
chelated minerals, specific organic acids and essential
amino acids, during stressful moments can reduce the
negative consequences of stress. It improves the overall
health and production status of poultry by improving
the immune status, growth rate, FCR and by lowering
the mortality rate.
