Salgard salmonella inhibitor and bacteriocidal fungistat

Uses

For treating animal feed and feed ingredients to selectively kill salmonella, E.coli, camphylobacter and other harmful Gram negative bacteria, to inhibit mould growth and to protect against recontamination.

Benefits

• Salgard kills over 50% of target organisms in 1 hour and achieves its full potential in 24 hours.
• Salgard is safe to use due to its neutral pH and is non-corrosive to machinery.
• Salgard does not impair palatability or feed intake.
• Salgard protects feed nutrients and improves its energy value. This unique enhancement of feed value provides microbial control in the most cost effective way.
• Salgard is available in powder or liquid form giving complete flexibility.

Both forms may be used in Optivite's hygiene programmes and the liquid can be used to spray into housing and onto litter.

Active ingredients
Synergistic blend of carboxylic acids and their salts designed and processed for optimal antimicrobial activity.

Mode of Action
Free organic acids have a strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity. The unique formulation ensures that the equilibrium favours the undissociated neutral molecule which is most effective in traversing the electrical gradient across the cell wall.

Intracellular anion accumulation disrupts macromolecular synthesis and the ability of the organism to multiply.

The primary volatile components, benefiting from maximal synergy, give a very high initial kill rate of organisms within the feed or feed ingredient. Secondary volatiles released over time ensure a long acting effect - important as feed travels through the feedmill, delivery vehicles, silos and farm equipment - all potential areas of recontamination by pathogens.
