Colonization of the intestinal tract by (potential) pathogenic bacterial in young broilers can lead to increased mortality and reduced production performance, reduced efficiency of nutrient digestibility and utilization, bone disorders, wet litter problems and welfare problems. Different feed additives like organic acids and their monoglycerides, botanicals, pre- and probiotics can be used to prevent pathogen colonization of the intestinal tract. Elan®Control is formulated as such a product with a strong antibacterial efficacy against Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, based on monoglycerides of four different fatty acids (C3, C4, C8 and C10) and cinnamaldehyde.
Elan®Control C12 is further enriched with monolaurin to enhance the immunocompetence of broilers. The effect of this unique blend of active ingredients was tested in a broiler experiment under ‘commercial’ conditions.
