Re-Scha Ac-i-prim 40g
Supplementary feed for laying hens and broilers
Description
Ac-i-prim with Lactobacillus acidophilus is the successor to the legendary PT-12.
Ac-i-prim embodies everything that made the previous product so impressive. Over 15 years of experience in dealing with lactobacilli and this in the pharmaceutical sector has created an inexhaustible knowledge base. re-scha® has transferred this knowledge to the entire manufacturing process of the new product. re-scha®’s quality standards and those of its customers are reflected in this new probiotic food supplement. Great importance is attached to compliance with the declared bacterial count of live lactobacilli. The external GMP laboratory of re-scha®, which has proven itself over many years, monitors the most important stages of production. The product-specific packaging, which enables proper storage, is also a matter of course.
re-scha® has spared no expense or effort here. The choice of this particular l.acidophilus was not purely coincidental. The Ac-i-prim contains only one probiotic bacterial strain. As the saying goes “many cooks spoil the broth”, several different bacterial species can interfere with each other. It is extremely difficult to find bacteria of different species for a probiotic that can perform their tasks together. Likewise, l.acidophilus is not encapsulated. What good does it do the user or the animal if the capsule shell only opens after the intestinal passage? This risk is too great. A probiotic also loses a large number of valuable, living bacteria during encapsulation. The lactobacillus in question is a special isolate from a species that is frequently found in the small intestine of the target animal species. It is also able to occupy free intestinal receptors. In several extensive studies, which were necessary for EU approval, it has shown that it can significantly improve the health (i.e. vitality) of animals. Ostensibly, the idea behind the use of Ac-i-prim is to reduce the use of antibiotics. We know from using the predecessor product,
, that lactobacilli are not only able to initiate enormous metabolic efforts, but also help the body to synthesize nutrient products that cannot be supplied artificially
. I have already described the effect of lactobacilli on pathogenic (=undesirable) germs in previous publications. The lacidophilus does not show any antibiotic resistance and therefore the Ac-i-prim must always be reapplied after antibiotics have been administered. Lactobacilli with antibiotic resistance are also not licensed in the EU.
Application of Ac-i-prim in the target animal species:
Ac-i-prim is best administered via the feed. Here it is advisable to use the well-known “Frutin” from re-scha® as a binding agent. In this way, none of the valuable bacterial
substance is lost and the lactobacilli receive additional nourishment for their multiplication. re-schas® “Tarsin” also contains important food sources for lactobacilli. Administration via the drinking water is only advisable if the animals ingest the water within 2-3 hours. Our own studies have shown that the longer lactobacilli remain in the drinking water, the higher the mortality rate of live bacteria. Another option for administration is to simply dust the feed with Ac-i-prim. Here is a practical tip: the simplest and most effective method is to put the food and Ac-i-prim in a plastic bag in a balanced amount and shake vigorously. Some of the bacterial substance will probably be lost, but often there is no other option. The Ac-i-prim cannot be overdosed, as too much bacteria will be excreted. Lactobacilli also stop multiplying by themselves if the pH value in the small intestine falls below a certain level. To prepare for breeding, the animals are given Ac-i-prim for at least 14 days. To improve egg quality, Ac-i-prim can also be administered throughout the entire laying period. Young animals receive Ac-i-prim from the first day of life for at least 14 days. However, a longer administration period is also possible without hesitation.
Dosage of Ac-i-prim:
Ac-i-prim should be administered over the entire daily feed if possible. The dosage is approx. 3 g/kg feed (= 1 slightly heaped macro measuring spoon) depending on the age of the animals. Appropriate measuring spoons are included in the packaging as dosing aids. Macro measuring spoon in the 120 g and 40 g Ac-i-prim can, slightly heaped (= 3.0 g) for approx. 30-40 animals per day. Micro measuring spoon in the 40 g and 1 B g Ac-i-prim can, slightly heaped (= 0.3 g) for 3-5 animals per day. Micro-measuring spoon in the 1 B g Ac-i-prim can, slightly heaped (= 0.3 g) for 3-5 animals per day. The 40 g Ac-i-prim can contains one micro and one macro measuring spoon.
Storage of Ac-i-prim:
re-scha® continues to favor storage under deep-freeze conditions at minus 18° Celsius. These are conditions under which the lactobacilli remain viable for many years. Thus,
naturally stores the Ac-i-prim product at re-scha® at these freezer temperatures before it is shipped. Temporary storage under refrigerator conditions (approx. 4° C – 6° C) for 12 months and under room temperature conditions [approx. 20° C – 22° C) for 6 months is possible. See also the information on the product label. This product information should be seen as a guide for the correct use of Ac-i-prim. re-scha® is also happy to provide detailed information on very specific application options.
