Description
What it is. Microbial preparation based on Enterococcus faecium DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415, a live bacterial strain produced by fermentation. It is marketed as powder, granules, coated form or liquid, with minimum CFU/g contents varying according to the galenic form.
What it is for. This additive belongs to the functional group of gut flora stabilisers and aims to support digestive microbial balance. It is authorised for calves for rearing, piglets (suckling and weaned up to about 35 kg), chickens and turkeys for fattening, as well as cats and dogs. For suckling piglets, a dose of 1×10^9 CFU/piglet/day is mentioned in the regulation. In chickens and turkeys for fattening, use is compatible with several authorised coccidiostats (semduramicin sodium, robenidine hydrochloride, diclazuril, maduramicin ammonium, decoquinate, lasalocid A sodium, halofuginone).
Points to watch. Storage conditions and stability under pelleting must be specified in the instructions for use of the additive and premixture, as these parameters affect cell viability. Use in weaned piglets is limited to the phase up to about 35 kg. The variability in CFU/g concentration depending on the form (powder/granules, coated, liquid) must be taken into account when dosing.
