ACTACID LGML
Lauric acid and GML*0 against Streptococci
infections
Acton Healthcare and Nutrition Ltd. was the
first company to succeed in producing a product in which short
chain fatty acids are combined with lauric acid and GML*0:
Actacid LGML.
Actacid LGMLis,
through the combination of short chain and medium chain fatty
acids, effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacteria
Lauric acid, GML*0 and short chain fatty
acids
Lauric acid is a natural, medium chain fatty acid, derived from
coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Furthermore, lauric acid can be
found naturally in the colostrums/milk of animals. Wikipedia
mentions that
6% of the fat in hu-man breast milk is lauric
acid.
Through the controlled reaction of lauric acid and glyc-erol,
glycerol-mono-, di- and tri-laurates are formed. Because it is
known that only glycerol mono laurate works anti-bacterial,
Acton Healthcare and Nutrition Ltd.only uses the
*0% pure glycerol mono laurate; GML*0.
Short chain fatty acids are commonly used in feeding, especially
because of their anti-bacterial properties against Gram-negative
bacteria. Therefore,
Act acid LGML contains next
to the lauric acid and GML*0, the strong antibacterial acids
formic acid, benzoic acid and
sorbic acid.
Streptococci
Streptococcus Suisis a pathogenic bacteria from the
order of
Lactobacilli. The veterinarians of
Veterinary practice Lintjeshofsay about
Streptococci infections the following:
Streptococci are the
primary reason of mortality after weaning and the relative high
usage of antibiotics.
Infections of Streptococci bacteria can, amongst other things,
lead to (acute) Meningitis. Symptoms of Meningitis lead to
reduced technical results and higher mortality. A Streptococci
infection on your farm will directly lead to
lower economical results.
Reduction of antibiotics
In a cooperation between
Veterinary Service Lint-jeshofand the
Dutch Health ServiceGD
De-venter, the results of field trials were evaluated,
wherethe use of antibiotics
(recalculated to animal-daily-dosage) was analysed for over *0
farms.
