Lactocare is manufactured via a 3-stage solid state fermentation process on the medum of naturally aged fruit
using patented strains of Lactobacillus reuteri GB-LC1 and Saccharomyces cervisiae GB-C01. The end result is
an environmentally sound product containing biologically safe gastric acid/bile-tolerant microorganisms ideal
for young animal diets.Laboratory tests demonstrate that Lactocare possesses effective anti-microbial activity against enteric disease. The combination of Lactobacillus reuteri and Saccharomyces cerevisiae used in the manufacture of Lactocare produces natural bacteriocins and microbial enzymes that effectively suppress E. coli, salmonella, and listeria and reduce gas emissions, including ammonia, amines, mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide. Competitive exclusion reduces the presence of enteropathogenci bacteria.
Q&A:
- Lactocare is a unique direct-fed microbial for inclusion in animal diets from the solid-state fermentation of aged fruits.
- Lactocare contains Lactobacillus reuteri and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the natural bacteriocin, reuterin.
- Research has shown that Saccharomyces cerevisiae increases the levels of lactobacillus in the gut and reduces fecal E. Coli in nursery pigs.
- Lactobacillus reuteri has been shown in research to competitively exclude enteropathogenic bacteria.
- Yes. Laboratory results indicate that Lactocare reduces ammonia emissions by 38.5%. Ammonia is one the major gases produced in manure storage vessels.
- Lactocare has also been shown to reduce amines in laboratory tests.
- Piglets: 0.1-0.3% of the complete diet
- Grower-finisher pigs: 0.1-0.2%
- Breeding herd: 0.1-0.2%
