AROMABIOTIC
HEALTHY FEED FOR HEALTHY FOOD
A REVOLUTION IN NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT OF YOUR PIG’S HEALTH
A NATURAL ALTERNATIVE FOR BROILERS
WHAT IS AROMABIOTIC ?
 A carefully balanced mix of medium chain fatty acids ( MCFA )
 Supplemented with aroma components in order to guarantee a positive effect on the technical
results of piglets, growers and fatteners
AROMABIOTIC: MECHANISMS
Mode of action of MCFA
 MCFA inhibit the bacterial cell through invasion of the bacterial cellmembrane and cell-lytis
after the entrance of the MCFA in the bacterial cell and subsequent pH drop
 MCFA inhibit the production of lipases by the bacterium. As lipases are needed to allow
bacteria to attach to the intestinal wall, this process will be prevented and the bacteria will be
washed out.
TRIALS PROVE THAT:
1) AROMABIOTIC improves the digestive and absorptive capacities of the small intestine. The
height of the villi is related to the absorption capacity of nutrients by the enterocytes. The
higher the villi, the better the absorptive capacity of the small intestine. Aromabiotic increases
villi / crypt ratio.
2) AROMABIOTIC has an effect on animal health. Trials done at the independent Research
Institute STERKSEL ( University of Wageningen ) with pigs prove that aromabiotic improves
overall health of the animals and reduces total numbers of treatments.

CONCLUSION: lower mortality, higher daily growth, lower feed conversion and lower
production costs.
4) Trial have proven that by using aromabiotic the litter in the units of broilers is more dry.
Reason is that aromabiotic stabilizes the flora of intestines.
5) Aromabiotic reduces the use of antibiotics. Research in the famous Institute Pasteur and at
the University of Gent in Belgium, faculty veterinary medicin by Prof. R. Ducatelle, has proved
that aromabiotic is active against e-coli, salmonella typhimurium, clostridium perfringens and
campylobacter jejuni,…..
6) Aromabiotic is a worthy alternative for growth promoters. Research at the independent Centre
for Agricultural Research, Department Animal Feed and Livestock Breeding by Dr. Ir. G.
Huyghebaert and Dr. Ir. M. Lippens showed the effect of MKVZ and a antiobiotic on the
technical results of male broilers at 42 days
