Vitamannan (feed additive)

Qualitative and quantitative composition  

100 g contains:

- fraction of inactivated yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the content of dried cell walls – 90 g;

- aluminosilicate or a mixture of aluminosilicates - 10.0 g.

Form of release                   

Powder or plates.

Pharmacological properties

The feed additive has pronounced sorption properties due to yeast and aluminosilicates.

Yeast has sorption activity against aflatoxins, fumonisins and zearalenone. Due to the content of mannans and β-glucans, this component helps to stimulate the immune system and enhances the adsorption of mycotoxins such as DON and zearalenone, resulting in an increase in average daily live weight gain; an increase in the quantity and quality of eggs; and a decrease in mortality of young animals.

Aluminosilicates adsorb mycotoxins, free radicals and toxic man-made substances (pesticides, dioxins, ammonia, etc.). Aluminosilicates contain calcium, sodium, sulphur, iron, copper, zinc and manganese.

Aluminosilicates absorb excess gases generated in the rumen during grass fermentation, thus preventing the occurrence of tympanic fever in animals. One of the most important properties of aluminosilicates is their high buffering properties and ability to optimize the pH of the rumen contents within a neutral to slightly acidic reaction, which improves the development of cellulosolytic microflora and fiber digestion, and increases the formation of acetic acid in the rumen, which is used to form fat in milk. In addition, aluminosilicates, containing trace elements, increase the intensity of rumen microflora development and improve the digestibility of all nutrients in the diet.

Aluminosilicates increase egg production, while reducing feed consumption, improve shell quality, increase egg weight and reduce litter moisture, and improve bird plumage.

Clinical characteristics

Types of animals  

Cattle, pigs, poultry.

Indications for use

It is added to animal and poultry feed to prevent contamination with mycotoxins and to prevent their re-infection during storage, transportation and processing. It ensures optimal feed quality, improves its digestion by regulating the microflora of the digestive tract, which increases the average daily weight gain of animals and poultry; increases the quantity and quality of eggs; reduces mortality of young animals.

Contraindications

Use during pregnancy, lactation, and nesting

According to the recommended dosage.

Interaction with other means and other forms of interaction

Not detected.

Doses and methods of administration to animals of different ages

The feed additive is added to the feed by uniform mixing on the level of mycotaxin contamination:

-  0.8 – 1.2 kg/t of feed.

It is recommended to use the feed additive throughout the entire period of feeding animals and poultry.

Livestock and poultry products after application of Vitamannan can be used for food purposes without restriction.

Special warnings for persons and service personnel

According to existing regulations.
