Three steps to improve gut health and performance
The health status of animals has a strong influence on the financial results. A healthy microbial balance is crucial for optimal feed utilisation and animal performance. The positive effect of Selko-pH on performance is achieved in 3 steps.
Step 1: Effectively reduces water pH
Water is the most crucial nutrient for animals. The synergistic blend of free organic acids in Selko-pH effectively reduces the pH of drinking water. Analyses carried out in the Selko laboratory show that application of Selko-pH reduces pH-value of drinking water to around 3.8.
Step 2: Supports digestion
The synergistic blend of free organic acids in Selko-pH reduces the pH in the crop and stomach more quickly after ingestion of feed. This leads to improved feed digestion and maintains a stable microbiota.
Step 3: Improves microbial balance
Young animals are especially vulnerable at the start of the production phase, when their intestinal microbiota is still developing. The buffered organic acids in Selko-pH help to maintain a stable intestinal microbiota, thereby giving these young animals a good start.
