The suffix “CIDA” comes from Latin “CAEDERE” which means to kill or cut.

The suffix “STATICO” comes from the Greek “STATIKOS” which means to prevent activity.

When these suffixes join “FUNGI”, of Latin origin, which means fungus, the scientific words fungicide (which kills fungi) and fungistatic (which prevents the activity of fungi) are formed.

When these suffixes join “BAKTERION, of Greek origin, which means little rod, the words bactericide (which kills bacteria) and bacteriostatic (which prevents the activity of bacteria) are formed.

The control of fungi and bacteria that contaminate raw materials and feed for animals is an important measure to avoid their presence and that of their toxins that affect the microbiota, the intestinal epithelium and can intoxicate animals.

Thus, fungistatic, bacteriostatic, fungicidal and bactericidal products are essential premixtures that should be part of the feed formulation.

Biovet has investigated solutions to fungicide and bacterial contaminations in feed by studying the efficacy of different fungicidal, bactericidal, fungistatic and bacteriostatic molecules.

The products ALQUERMOLD, ALQUERBAC AND ALQUERCIDE, have been researched to apply the efficacy of preservative molecules of natural origin.
