The Unique Feed Acidifier
and Mould Inhibitor
IMPROVES FEED EFFICIENCY AND
ACHIEVES FASTER WEIGHT GAINS. A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO ANTIBIOTIC GROWTH
PROMOTERS.
|

|
Enteric Micro-organisms and Mycotoxins-a constant threat to
Poultry Breeders and Feed manufacturers |
|
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. |
Mycotoxins adversely affect the nutritive value of feed and damage bird's liver and other vital organs. |
Inspite of best sanitation of environment, microbes and mycotoxins find their way to the digestive system of the birds through the CROP
- The store house of digestive system. |

The Unique Feed Acidifier and Mould Inhibitor |
By acidification
of feed and digestive system, Raafres controls the growth and
multiplication of bacteria including pathogenic organisms of
public health concern.
|
Unlike Antibiotics acidifiers are SAFE
and do not result in problems of resistant organisms or residues.
|
|
|
The organic acids in Raafres are in RIGHT LEVELS and RIGHT RATIOS for optimum performance.
Raafres ACIDIFICATION ADVANTAGES |
 |
|
» |
Raafres improves availability digestion, absorption and utilisation of nutrients in the feed by inhibiting microbes. Reduced number of microbes result in thinning of intestinal walls and increased size of villi - helps better absorption of nutrients.
|
» |
Improves efficiency of enzymes by enhancing release and utilisation of nutrients from feed.
|
» |
Acidification favours growth of Acidophilus bacterial flora that prevents growth of pathogens.
|
» |
Improves utilisation of trace elements due to their chelation.
|
» |
Acidification, unlike antibiotics, does not result in acid residues or acid resistant organisms.
|
» |
Safe and progressive intestinal acidification reduces the risk of enterotoxaemia.
|
» |
Raafres contains Mannen's Oligo Sachcharides which prevents colonisation
by bacteria (E.Coli etc.) in the intestine and improves health and productivity
of birds.
