- Mode of Action
Viligen™ is a proprietary combination technology that acts in creating an unfavorable environment for pathogens while promoting beneficial bacteria. This leads to an improved absorptive capacity of the intestine by providing:
-
Fatty acids
-
Prebiotic components
-
Readily available mineral forms
For poultry, research shows that the unfavorable environment for pathogens created by Viligen can help the birds to build optimal gut health.
For pigs, Viligen™ helps to promote a healthy microbe population and gut membrane development. In particular, it plays a powerful role in intestinal development, immune function and intestinal inflammation, which is a key element in the health status of the gastrointestinal tract of the pig.
