in-VIGOR-ate
The in-VIGOR-ate® formulation targets key support actions within the digestive tract
in-VIGOR-ate® is an acidified mineral /vitamin supplement for poultry that is fortified with direct-fed microbials to improve nutritional status and promote gut health via drinking water consumption during times of stress.
During stress, water and feed intake typically are significantly reduced. Consequently, the poultry are susceptible to dehydration and gut microflora imbalance. Without a vitamin supplement for poultry, these changes in the gut environment lead to damage in gut integrity, reduced feed utilization and increased susceptibility to enteritis. The culmination is loss in performance that impacts profitability.
Administration of in-VIGOR-ate® will stimulate water intake and provide needed nourishment during stress. The vitamins support energy metabolism. The electrolytes will aid proper tissue hydration.
Acidification with citric acid helps maintain the desired pH environment in the crop, proventriculus, gizzard and small intestine. The supplemental lactic acid producing bacteria will help maintain the desired microflora balance in the crop and gut. Consequently, the impact of stress is alleviated to support a higher level of bird performance.
Key Support Actions
- Acidification is key in the crop and small intestine to provide an environment favorable to the beneficial lactic acid bacteria residing here.
- Vitamins are essential for efficient energy metabolism.
- Electrolytes (Na, K, Cl) help maintain necessary water balance for digestive function and to prevent tissue dehydration.
- Direct-fed microbials (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria) support existing natural populations to maintain proper microflora balance.
Reported Benefits
- Increased water consumption and feed intake.
- Safe to use with various medications.
- Highly soluble for ease of mixing stock solutions.
- Available in either 6 oz. or 30 oz. foil packs.
