MYCOTOXIN CONTROL / MOULD INHIBITION
Aflatoxin Levels in Feed (ppm)
CONTROL 0.16 ppm
RAAFRES 0.05 ppm

RAAFRES Group Reduced Aflatoxin by about 70%
 

EXTENT OF LIVER DAMAGE (Mycotoxin)
SGPT TEST
(Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase Test)
  SGPT Values (IU/L)
  Day 10 Day 28 Day 42
CONTROL 5.21 16.7 9.0
RAAFRES 5.21 19.7 2.0

Comments:
1. Initially the SGPT values increased showing liver damage.
2. RAAFRES was helpful in reversing the initial liver damage and brought down the SGPT values.

 
 
 

ECONOMICS
  Av. Gain Per Broiler Value (Rs.)
Weight Gain 110 g 4.40
Feed Gain 41 g 0.33
    4.73
 
Less Cost of RAAFRES -0.27
Saving on Neftin +0.20
Net gain per broiler with RAAFRES 4.66

SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS

» RAAFRES performed significantly better on al economic parameters

» RAAFRES reduced the mycotoxin levels by 70%

» RAAFRES helped in reversing the process of liver damage

» Unlike antibiotics RAAFRES has no problems of RESIDUES and DRUG RESISTANCE.

RAAFRES is a true non-antibiotic growth promoter, and an aid in control of mortality in Poultry

 
 
 

INTESTINAL PH AND % MORTALITY
  Duodenum Ileum Proventriculus %Mortality*
CONTROL (Neftin)  8.0   7.0  4.0  18
RAAFRES 4.0  5.5 3.0 8
Comments:
  1. Lowering of pH with RAAFRES helps to control the enteric organism, like E.Coli and Salmonella which require pH above 6 for optimum growth.
  2. RAAFRES lowered the pH not only in proventriculus but also in the small intestine. This means RAAFRES could withstand internal buffering mechanism and acid building food items and still lowered pH to control pathogens.

ACIDIFICATION ADVANTAGES
» RAAFRES improves availability, digestion, absorption and utilization 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.
» Acidification through acid hydrolysis of feed aids in release and digestion of nutrients
» Improves efficiency of enzymes by enhancing release and utilization of nutrients from feed.
» Acidification favours growth of Acidophilus bacterial flora that prevents growth of pathogens. 
» Improves utilization 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.
