Livestock Farming Without Antibiotics: How Biological Additives Maintain Productivity and Herd Health

Ethics in Livestock Farming: Improving Animal Welfare Through Modern Biotechnology

On September 23, 1977, the International League of Animal Rights developed the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights!

The Declaration consists of 10 articles and proclaims that cruel treatment of animals is unacceptable, and human actions leading to the death of an animal are treated as a crime against life.

This agreement embodies the idea of preventing cruelty and reducing animal suffering, as well as promoting animal welfare standards — whether for farm animals, pets, animals in scientific research, or wildlife.

Animal protection is a vast, complex, and large-scale field that encounters obstacles along the way.

But if this field is ignored, it leads to extinction and destruction. The extinction and elimination of animals!

Rare species are being wiped out, and future generations may never even know they once existed.

Each of us can contribute to animal conservation! We should not treat animals as mere commodities for profit or entertainment.

Our Research and Technology Center has not remained on the sidelines and has also contributed to the welfare of farm animals.

For example, the feed additives developed by our center. In our posts, we have emphasized that keeping animals is not only a pleasure but also a responsibility.

You need to care for your animals every day.

One of the key aspects of care is proper and balanced nutrition for the animals. Due to health issues or other reasons, animals may require a specialized feeding regimen.

Proper feeding of animals and poultry is the foundation of quality agricultural products in the future!

The animal diet must include the necessary amount of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and other biologically active compounds.

Our product line includes a diverse range of feed additives for animals and poultry.

Feed additives will help you balance the feeding regimen and make it complete, improve economic indicators, and help enhance the quality of finished products.

In our posts, we have repeatedly described our line of feed additives for animals:

  • 1. ProStor — a synbiotic for increasing feed digestibility, stimulating metabolic and immune processes, providing bioprotection, and replacing feed antibiotics.
  • 2. GerbaStor — a phytobiotic with synbiotic effect.
  • 3. Bacitox — a bio-organic mycotoxin sorbent with enzyme-probiotic action.
  • 4. Enervit — an energy supplement for cattle and small ruminants.
  • 5. Subamil — a comprehensive phytobiotic with probiotic microorganism strains in biofilm form and biologically active substances, designed to create an antibacterial effect for replacing feed antibiotics, with biohepatoprotective properties for restoring liver function during difficult periods, relieving signs of toxicosis, and after the use of coccidiostats or veterinary drugs.

The use of feed additives will help you balance and increase the nutritional value of the feeding ration for animals and poultry.

The feed additives contain live immobilized (sorbed) Bacillus cells on a phytosorbent: Bacillus subtilis (three strains), a complex of lactic acid bacteria and their metabolic products.

A set of essential enzymes — cellulase, endoglucanase, amylase, protease, lipase, organic acids, biologically active substances, vitamins, and amino acids.

The additives provide bioprotection, prevent the development of dysbiosis, and stimulate metabolic and immune processes.

They increase the digestibility of hard-to-absorb nutrients, in particular cellulose, protease, and amylase, which is especially important in diets with elevated fiber content.

By increasing feed digestibility, the additives promote the growth of normal intestinal microflora, normalize gastrointestinal motility, and effectively adsorb heavy metals and toxins.

They remove decay products and harmful elements from cells.

The use of additives accelerates animal recovery after poisoning, reduces the risk of intoxication when switching to new feeds, and protects against the entry of toxic substances into the bloodstream.

The additives reduce the number of veterinary procedures and the costs of preventing and treating infectious diseases.

The medicinal herb complex included in the feed additives possesses immunomodulatory properties by enhancing the body's natural defenses, suppresses the growth and reproduction of pathogenic and opportunistic microflora, and provides powerful detoxifying, hepatoprotective, and antioxidant effects.

Based on the above, it can be concluded that feed additives play an important role in animal feeding regimens and are capable of solving most feeding problems — and, most importantly, preventing them from occurring.
