Probiotic & phytogenic synergy in a water-soluble form

Bactan’s blend of probiotics and phytogenics offers a practical solution to digestive health challenges in pigs and poultry. Its water-soluble nature ensures swift, even distribution, making application simple and effective.

Probiotics—Bacillus sp. PB6 produces antimicrobial compounds like surfactants to fight harmful bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens and E. coli. It enhances microbial diversity to promote a healthy gut and disrupts bacterial communication, reducing virulence and preventing diseases like necrotic enteritis.

Phytogenics — Tannins from sweet chestnuts have antibacterial, anti-parasitic, and antioxidant properties. They help control bacteria, parasital challenges, and oxidative stress to promote better gut health, reduce diarrhoea days for faster recovery, and improve nutrient absorption and growth with effortless absorption through water-based delivery.
