Formilac
For the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases in calves and poultry.
For the treatment of proventricular atony and hypotension in cattle, sheep, goats.
Organic acids included in Formilac composition inhibit the development of pathogenic microorganisms, reduce bacterial contamination, accelerate the feed fermentation and prevent the formation of casein clots in calves.
Following oral administration, lactic acid exhibits antifermentative, antiseptic and irritating action. It promotes relaxation of the ventricles and intestinal sphincters. It suppresses the growth of conditionally pathogenic and putrefactive microflora in the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to a decrease in the formation of toxic breakdown products in the body. Lactic acid improves metabolism and stimulates the activity of the digestive glands.
Formic acid provides bacteriostatic action. It is highly effective against Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., etc. It ameliorates the conditions of the gastrointestinal tract through the reduction of pH, creating stability of the microbial population and stimulating the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria and being bacteriostatic to pathogenic bacteria.
Ingredients of the product boost the activity of secretion and promote digestion. In an acidified environment, the production of enzymes increases two to three times, thereby improving the absorption of nutrients. The combined use of acids is the most beneficial since the effect of one acid is enhanced by the positive effect of the other.
