Pathogenic microbes compete with the birds for essential nutrients available in the feed, multiply in large numbers and cause harm to health and productivity of poultry. Most of the pathogenic microbes multiply very fast in high pH condition. By acidification of feed and digestive system, Leximix controls the growth and multiplication of pathogenic organisms.
Composition of Leximix.. – Leximix is an acidifier for poultry feed, based on a powerful combination of synergistically acting organic acids and their salts, inorganic acid and encapsulated organic acids with essential oils. The organic acids with essential oils in a protective matrix to : – Reduces acids solubility. – Slow sustained release of acids through the GUT. – Makes Leximix non-corosive. – Ensuring safe and easy handling.
How does Leximix work ? Leximix consists of 3 active ingredient groups and is multifunctional : – Free inorganic acid : reacts always before organic acids in the mix , preserving their efficacy. – Free organic acids and their salts : selected act in the upper GUT. – Microencapsulated acid and essential oils : selected to act in the lower Gut.
Effect of Leximix in the feed. – Antimicrobial effect. – Preserving agents and control the growth of fungi. – Nutritional effects (Ca & P minerals/energy). – Reduction of buffering capacity.
Effect of Leximix in the stomach. – Reduction of the pH. -Activation of proteolytic enzymes as pepsinogen and other zymogens (better protein digestion).
Effect of Leximix in the small Intestine: -Antimicrobial effects due to microencapsulated essential oils and strong organic acids. -Stimulation of non specific immunity (lactic acid).
