The product

OMNIFECT® has two major effects:

A significantly healthier intestinal flora thanks to the unique effects of our natural ingredients. This allows us to achieve significant improvements in the metabolism and the immune system. The result is more vital and healthy animals.

A demonstrably higher protein use. As a result, we achieve improved feed conversion, less organic nitrogen in the manure, and higher daily gains in the animals

  • Registered in the EU
  • 100% natural ingredients
  • Without GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)
  • Permanent quality-tested (GMP +)
  • Successfully tested in Germany, Spain and Denmark
  • PH value approx. 8

What are prebiotics and how do they work?

Prebiotics: Non-digestible food ingredients that favorably affect the host by controlling the growth and / or activity that stimulates
deliberately one or more bacterial species housed in the gastrointestinal system,, thus improving the health of the host

In contrast to probiotics, prebiotics are not living microorganisms but certain parts of food that are not digestible, which are not attacked by stomach or digestive juices. Prebiotic fiber and starches can stimulate the healthy intestinal bacteria by serving as their food source. When positive bacteria settle in the intestine, germs and unwanted bacteria can be repelled. At the same time, the immune system is strengthened and digestion promoted.

A healthy intestine is not only important for a good intestinal sensation, but also has a great impact on the immune system. That is why it is essential to keep it healthy. It is important that there are enough healthy intestinal bacteria to break down the food and prepare it for the elimination process.

Problems with the intestinal flora can cause constipation, diarrhea, flatulence or other digestive problems and affect the growth of animals in addition to animal health.

Targeted prebiotic additives enable specific bacterial cultures to be established. The intestinal microorganisms contribute to the energy and vitamin supply because these provide enzymes with which fiber (complex carbohydrates) are degraded. The degradation products are different sugars, but also other high-energy compounds such butyric acid. The intestinal flora also prevents the proliferation of diseased microorganisms in the intestine (diarrhea). In addition, a well-balanced bacterial community may prevent chronic inflammatory and infectious intestine disease – caused for example by E. coli strains.

Connection between bacteria and stress

Stress can affect the stomach and intestine, which many of us have experienced. Australian researchers have been able to show in humans that the amount of “good” intestinal bacteria, is reduced in students during periods of stress caused by exams.

For example, in pigs, stress factors (e.g., weaning, overcrowding, and weakened animals) cause a change in intestinal flora, such as increased excretion of E. coli bacteria in dregs. The combination of intestine and stress also works in the other direction: In laboratory experiments, mice became more anxious, in which antibiotics had changed the intestinal flora, others more courageously, after they had been transplanted certain microbial species. There are observations that a disturbed intestinal flora may negatively affect the behavior of pigs (including cannibalism).

 

Here is exactly where treatment with OMNIFECT® starts:
We ensure a healthier intestinal flora and a reduction of potentially pathogenic bacteria – from the beginning

Mode of action of OMNIFECT®

The morphological structure of OMNIFECT® products ensures that the body absorbs certain minerals and nutrients more evenly. The optimal supply ensures a high and healthy growth performance of the animal.

OMNIFECT® works in two different ways

Endogenous mode of action

Almost no components of our products are digestible in the upper digestive tract for the animal. However, they are digestible by microorganisms (in the case of mammals) located in the lower digestive tract (small and large intestine). In this environment, our products develop a trophic substrate for the existing bacteria. Animal and microbiota are in close and lively exchange. They strongly influence each other. For example, butyrate, which is fermentatively produced by the microbiota in the digestive tract, has a very strong influence on the immune system and the microvillar length of the intestine, and thus also on the absorption capacity of the intestine. An experiment in Denmark showed a significant increase in microvilli in fattening pigs treated with OMNIFECT®

In addition to prebiotic ingredients, various essential fatty acids are also included in OMNIFECT® products. These fatty acids can be converted by the intestinal flora as a building material for cells, or in the beta-oxidation in adenosine triphosphate (ATP, an energy equivalent of the cell) and used as an energy source. On the other hand, essential fatty acids are absorbed by the animal and are often converted into hormones, which play important roles in the metabolism. The fatty acids contained in OMNIFECT® have an effect on anti-inflammatory processes, which consequently have a positive effect on animal health. By the correct ratio of different fatty acids, primarily anti-inflammatory tissue hormones such as 1-prostaglandins are formed by the animal. The animal will thank you with a high and healthy performance.

Exogenous mode of action

At the recommended dosage, parts of our product are present in the animal excrements that have not been digested in the digestive tract of the treated animal.  Analyzes of the manure of animals treated with OMNIFECT® revealed several changes in composition. Thus, a reduction of the total N by 30 percent, whereas an increase of plant-available ammonium was determined by 33 percent; Therefore there is less total nitrogen in the manure. The increase in ammonification generates fewer emissions and has a higher value for plant nutrition. OMNIFECT® treated animals and their manure are good for the environment, animals and plants.

In manure, there is another effect. As mentioned before, not all components of OMNIFECT® can be used by the animal in the anterior intestine. A small part is eliminated and acts directly on the manure. The indigestible components ensure that ammonia (gamma-ammonia oxidizing bacteria, gamma-AOB) and nitrifying bacteria (NOB) are increased 10-12 times in the manure. These bacteria and their metabolites play a crucial role in plant nutrition and ensure rapid and adequate supply of the plant.

The animals have a better defense and immune system, the protein / feed conversion improves and ensure less ammonia formation. Less ammonia in the barns and less stress on the animals are the main reasons for better growth, better animal health and lower mortality.

The increase of “biological mass” or biota allows for a significantly better utilization of nutrients, proteins and amino acids in the treated animal. Of course, every species has a different way of using these nutrients and metabolizing the feed. In any case, the biota (intestinal flora) is responsible for most of these tasks.

Higher microbial activity of the intestinal biota and a greater capacity of protein synthesis allow lower nitrogen excretion, which in turn has a positive effect on ammonia emissions and hence the environment.

By feeding OMNIFECT® products, the animal can achieve a higher growth performance. A higher synthesis efficiency finally affects the excretion of nitrogen, since more nitrogen (N) in the form of protein remains in the animal. Therefore, a higher protein utilization indirectly provides less N excretion. At a lower concentration of N in the manure, less can be emitted into the atmosphere by converting several compounds of N to ammonia N. Thus, a reduction of ammonia in the air of the barn was detected by up to 40 percent.
