Re-Scha Ac-i-prim 18 grams with Lactobacillus acidophilus

Ac-i-prim® – Probiotic feed supplement with Lactobacillus acidophilus

Ac-i-prim® is a feed supplement containing live lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli), specially developed for ornamental birds, flying pigeons, quails and pheasants. It contains one carefully selected strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus, which has been classified by the European Authority as a zootechnical additive in the functional group intestinal stabilisers, based on extensive scientific research.

Mode of Action and Benefits

Lactobacillus acidophilus naturally supports a balanced intestinal flora and contributes to:

• the development of a stable, less pathogenic intestinal flora, starting at an early age;

• improved digestion of carbohydrates and a more efficient energy metabolism;

• enhanced vitality;

• improved utilisation of nutrients, which can positively influence egg quality and eggshell strength.

The use of Ac-i-prim® fits within a responsible feeding strategy aimed at reducing the need for antibiotics.

Why a Single Bacterial Strain?

Ac-i-prim® contains only one specific lactic acid bacteria strain. Multiple strains can interfere with each other’s effectiveness. This specific Lactobacillus acidophilus strain originates from the natural intestinal environment of the target species and is capable of attaching to intestinal receptors, leaving less room for undesirable bacteria.
