A technical team of Biovet S.A. visited the main vertically integrated poultry enterprises in Bangladesh at the beginning of July. These companies include the whole process: from the manufacture of the feed or incubators, to the production of 1-day-old chicks and even some had fattening farms. Also, during the stay in the Asian country, training was provided to the technical distribution team of Bangladesh.

The representative of the technical team of Biovet S.A., PhD. David Díez, explained that "during the meetings the positive effects on health and the productive parameters with the use of the additives of natural origin, manufactured by Biovet S.A., were explored: Alquerfeed Antitox (mycotoxin binder), Alquermold Natural (preservative), Alquernat Zycox (intestinal optimizer), Alquernat Nebsui (intestinal conditioner) and Alquernat Livol (liver regenerator)".

Alquerfeed Antitox based on Silicoglycidol, "has a great effectiveness on the mycotoxin binding”. It is used in the prevention of enteritis and poisoning (mycotoxicosis) by ingestion of feed contaminated by mycotoxins.

On the other hand, Alquermold Natural is used as a microbicide to combat fungi and other pathogenic microorganisms. As explained by the Veterinary PhD. of Biovet S.A., "is a bactericidal and fungicidal preservative for raw materials and compound feed. In addition, its incorporation into drinking water allows the control of the main pathogenic colonizing microorganisms of the intestine, such as Salmonella, E. coli, Clostridium, Staphylococcus, fungi and yeasts ".

Relative to pronutrients (extracts of natural origin that, added to feed, improve the physiology of animals), PhD. Díez emphasized the use of Alquernat Zycox in the prevention of coccidia problems that exist in the country"; Alquernat Nebsui as an intestinal conditioner capable of increasing intestinal absorption and, therefore, improving the productive parameters and Alquernat Livol. "It is important to use Alquernat Livol in commercial laying hens and also in breeders, since it improves the state of the liver after high metabolic efforts, characteristic of these farms, thanks to its composition based on liver regenerating pronutrients", underlined PhD. Díez.

TRAINING FOR THE BIOVET´S BANGLADESH TEAM
On the other hand, the visit also included training for the technical distribution team of Bangladesh on the mechanisms of action of the cimenol ring (main component of Alquermold Natural) and pronutrients. 

"The action of the Alquermold Natural is based on the synergy between citric acid and the cimenol ring (bactericide). The citric acid facilitates the entrance of the cimenol ring in the cell, that in contact with the cell increases the permeability of the membrane, forming microscopic pores, and causes an immediate extravasation of the content to the outside and, therefore, the pathogenic cell dies " explained PhD. Díez.

Finally, the training on pronutrients was focused mainly on the Alquernat Zycox product. "We approach its mechanism of action based on its composition based on intestinal optimizing pronutrients, which enhance the local immunity of the intestine, facilitating the elimination of coccidia during its asexual phase", concluded PhD. Díez.
