Ecocell is a highly purified source of MannanOligoSaccharide (MOS) and β-glucans, used to aid in pathogen management and the enhancement of natural immune systems.
Mannanoligosaccharides are sugars that consist of a limited number of mannose units.
β-glucans consist of glucose units linked in a β-manner (in contrast to starch where the glucose units are linked in an α-manner).
The product has been enriched in inulin (Fructans or FOS) that also has a prebiotic effect, thus stabilising the gut content.
Ecocell aids in pathogen management by preventing bacteria attaching to the gut wall
This in turn prevents the detrimental effect such bacteria have on the lining of the gut
Through the inclusion on inulin Ecocell exhibits a prebiotic effect in the gut positively affecting microflora in the small intestine
MOS has also been shown to stimulate IgA and IgG
This leads to
Increased daily gain and reduced feed conversion ratio
Reduced incidence of diarrhea
Boosting immune functions in the gut assisting the production of a healthier animal.
