Keprogan

Keprogan Plus is a complementary premix for poultry, pig and calf diets and supports gastro-intestinal tract functioning and gastro-intestinal tract microflora. Keprogan Plus contains butyric acid, which is a short-chain fatty acid. Butyric acid helps with the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells and takes care of an increased barrier function of the intestines against pathogens. Furthermore, butyric acid decreases the risk of a Salmonella infection by preventing the attachment of Salmonella to the intestinal wall. Butyric acid also decreases the pH in the intestines, stimulates enzyme activity and increases the activity of the immune system. A low pH in the intestines causes a better digestion and mineral absorption. The essential oils carvacrol and thymol stimulate feed intake and support a healthy gastro-intestinal microflora. They also stimulate the production and secretion of the intestinal enzymes. Due to the sophisticated coating and spray-cooling technique, Keprogan Plus gives a target release effect and is stable during processing.
