Purified fungi isolated and extracted from fermented soybeans are utilized to make the direct-fed microbial Natufermen. The mixture of Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilis found in Natufermen produces various beneficial secondary metabolites, including beneficial microbes, enzymes, organic acids, amino acids, and nucleic acids.

Natufermen effectively reduces ammonia, amines, mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide emissions in poultry houses. Research has also shown that the inclusion of Natufermen in the diets of laying hens improves egg weight and eggshell thickness. When included in the diets of lactating sows, Natufermen has been shown to reduce pre-weaning piglet mortality and reduce backfat loss in sows.

Q&A:

What is Natufermen?

• Natufermen is a direct-fed microbial from fermented soy, containing the microbes, Aspergillus Oryzae and Bacillus subtilis.
• Laboratory analyses show that Natufermen contains significant levels of secondary metabolites including natural bacitracin, enzymes and nucleic acids.

What benefits are gained by including Natufermen in my animal diets?

• Research has shown that the inclusion of Natufermen significantly reduces the population of Salmonella and E. Coli in pigs when included in their diets.
• Natufermen has also been shown to significantly reduce mercaptans, a sulfur containing compound found in animal waste.

What is the inclusion rate of Natufermen?

• 0.1-0.3% of the diet in piglets
