FRA Gut Protect combines the antibacterial activity of short- and medium chain fatty acids with the benefits of C12 glycerides on the immune response and with tributyrin on gut development and integrity.
To improve animal performance, livestock producers need to control pathogenic pressure. They also need to take care of the animal’s intestinal health status and where possible, support the animal’s immune system functioning.
What if, with a well-substantiated combination of glycerides all these topics can be targeted at the same time?
Different glycerides are active against specific pathogens, ranging from Gram- to Gram+ bacteria. Tributyrin stimulates intestinal integrity and development. By inducing the formation of tight junctions, the intestinal barrier function is also improved. Glycerides of lauric acid support immune system functioning.
Effect on Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria
The glycerides of C12 have shown to have immunomodulating properties.
Especially triglycerides of butyric acid stimulate intestinal integrity and intestinal health. By inducing the formation of tight junctions, the intestinal barrier function is improved. Furthermore, glycerides of butyric acid improve villi development, increasing the surface area for nutrient absorption.
Glycerides are formed when glycerol is mixed with certain organic acids under a specific temperature, time and pressure. This esterification reaction creates amongst others alpha-monoglycerides, that have a strong effect on animal health and performance.
