December 17, 2024 - Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer, has launched Bactan, an innovative, water-soluble product designed to reduce diarrhoea, wet litter and antibiotic dependency in pigs and poultry. Bactan provides veterinarians and producers in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EMENA) with sustainable solutions to enhance animal performance.
The product has proven highly effective for pigs in reducing post-weaning diarrhoea and enhancing growth - all through its simple and efficient water-based application. Because it is water soluble, Bactan offers quick and easy application through drinking water systems, eliminating the need for feed adjustments, in case of sudden challenges. This reduces diarrhoea and wet litter, enhances animal performance and enables faster responses to challenges, making it a vital tool for reducing antibiotic use and supporting overall animal health.
"Bactan is an exciting development for our customers, as it works towards advancing sustainable animal health solutions," said Valentine Van Hamme, Marketing Manager, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health - EMENA.
During the R&D process, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health - EMENA conducted extensive field trials that demonstrated Bactan's ability to significantly reduce diarrhoea and enhance growth in pigs and poultry. In poultry, specifically, the field trials showed improved weight gain, better feed conversion rates and a significant reduction in wet litter.
"We've designed Bactan to meet the specific needs of veterinarians, pig producers and poultry producers," said Van Hamme. "For veterinarians, it offers an effective tool for immediate intervention during health challenges by reducing reliance on antibiotics and ensuring timely treatment. Pig producers benefit from its ability to simplify the management of post-weaning diarrhoea and drive growth. And for poultry producers, Bactan naturally enhances flock performance by reducing wet litter and promoting better overall health through an easy-to-apply solution."
Bactan combines two types of powerful, natural ingredients:
- Probiotics - Bacillus sp. PB6 supports microbial diversity, reduces inflammation and inhibits pathogenic bacteria, such as C perfringens.
- Phytogenics - antibacterial, anti-parasitic and antioxidant benefits help improve gut health.
The product is available in one-, five- and 25-kilogram packaging with dosage options tailored to meet customers' specific operational needs.
