Product characteristics

Four formulation features

01Balanced supplementation

Described as addressing nutritional gaps caused by various conditions, especially vitamin and mineral deficiencies associated with reduced performance, product quality and feed efficiency.

02Stress response support

The brochure describes 13 anti-stress vitamins acting together, with trace elements and amino acids helping balance body-fluid acidity and alkalinity during stress.

03Separately packed components

Components are packaged separately to avoid interactions, preserve product stability and effect, and allow separate or combined use.

04Water or feed administration

The source describes flexible administration in drinking water or feed according to flock condition and management. It also describes use alongside cephalosporins, penicillins and fluoroquinolones, with claims for improved efficacy and a reduced risk of resistance.

Reported effects in poultry

Production, condition & recovery

  • Increase egg production rate and egg weight, and improve egg quality.
  • Promote growth and improve feed conversion.
  • Improve resilience during feed changes, vaccination, flock transfer, transport and sharp seasonal temperature changes.
  • Improve fertility, hatchability and egg production in breeding and laying hens.
  • Reduce mortality during forced molting and feed restriction, and improve flock uniformity.
  • Assist recovery in animals with chronic respiratory disease, coccidiosis and related infections; replenish electrolytes lost through watery or poorly formed droppings.
  • Reduce vitamin and mineral deficiency signs.
  • Promote a healthy red comb and glossy feathers.
Reported use in livestock

Across production stages

01Parturition, weaning & finishing

The brochure describes use across production stages to improve performance. It recommends seven days before and after parturition to reduce birth-related stress and fatigue; seven days before and after weaning to reduce declines in appetite and disease resistance; and 7–14 days before marketing during finishing to improve feed efficiency and fattening.

02Adverse conditions & management

Presented for stress associated with heat, severe cold and climate changes; before and after regrouping, pen separation and vaccination; and during disease outbreaks, with claims for improved overall herd disease resistance.

03Adjunct use & convalescence

Described for adjunct use in disease treatment and health-maintenance programs. The source reports that combining it with antibiotics may reduce resistance development, and that use during convalescence may accelerate recovery.
