Flavomycin® (bambermycins) is a performance enhancing antibiotic intended and available solely for use in animal nutrition. The effect of Flavomycin is to inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Flavomycin is predominately effective against gram-positive pathogenic bacteria.
INTRODUCTION
Flavomycin’ontains Flavophospholipol, the active ingredient, which maintains the natural
balance of the bacterial flora of the digestive tract and facilitates the absorptionf nutrients
from feed. lt is not a therapeutic agent and is not absorbed from the intestine.
Recommended as a feed additive in poultry, aqua, cattle, pigs and rabbits for performance
improvement and better utilization of nutrient in the feed
MODE OFACTION
Flavomycin’ intervenes in the biosynthesis of murein, the structural substance of the bacterial
cell wall, resulting in the bursting of the bacterial cell. Rnimal cells have no comparable structure in
their cell wall which would be vulnerable. This results in the extraordinary high efficacy and
tolerability of Flavomycin’ in all animals as compared to other products
Flavomycin’ACTS IN THREE WAYS…
. Helps in the growth of competing bacteria and increases the availability of energy and
protein.
. Maintains the thickness of the intestinal wall and thus increases the absorption of
nutrients.
. Ensures a balanced microflora in the intenstine and stabilizes the natural defense
system
WEIGHT GAIN AND FEED CONVERSION
Since its registration, many trials in scientific institutes and on farms have confirmed the
efficacy of Flavomycin’and there is no evidence that the improvement in animal performance has
decreased over the years.
The performance effects of Flavomycin. in these trials cam be summarized as follows:
. Daily weight gain is improved by 3 to 100/o
. Feed efficiency is improved by 3 to 6olo
The magnitude of the benefits depends on the species and level of productio
|_TTTER QUAUTY
Flavomycin’improves litter quality. Dry litter has
beneficial effect on birds’ health as well as results
in cleaner birds (helps in less down-grading in
processing), cleaner eggs and imDroved
hatchability. These multiple benefits have a direc positive effect on food safety and farm
productivity
ABSORPTION OF NUTRIENTS
It is proven that Flavomycin.leads to reduction in thickness of intestinal wall due to a significant
reduction of pathogenic organisms that cause intestinal lesions. Therefore, the form g size of
microvilli stay at the optimal level, facilitating the absorption of nutrients, especially micro-nutrients
& pigments. In addition to this, Flavomycin’also supports birds in stress conditio
THE SPARING EFFECT
The “sparing effect” of Flavomycin’ on Lactic Acid Producing Bacteria (LAPB) is maximum. Therefore,
Flavomycin’creates gut environment that is very helpful to probiotic bacteria which other antibiotics are not able to do.
COMPETITIVE EXCTUSION
LAPB inhibit pathogenic bacteria like solmonello spp., c. perfringens, E. coli, s. ouresusby competitive
exclusion, which inhibit the natural intestinal microflora and caused dysentery, necrotic enteritis and other intestinal infection
INCREASED TACTIC ACID
PRODUCTION
Flavomycin’ favours colonisation of LAPB leading to maximum Lactic Acid production and a low (acid) pH of 4-5 in the gut. pathogenic
bacteria fvour apH of 6-7
THE BENEFITS
. Increased weight gain in broilers.
. Higher egg yield in layers / breeders.
. lmproves performance of of probiotics.
. No withdrawal period.
. Best results of bio-availability of nutrient in feed.
. Lower mortality due to competitive exclusion
of pathogens.
. Reduction in water content of droppings.
. Reductionin Solmonel/o shedding.
THE UNIQUE FEATURES
. Minimizes resistance development among pathogenic bacteria.
. Excellent effect against necrotic enteritis.
. Compatible with all feed additives / medicines.
. Does not get affecteduringl pelletisation the feed
USAGE
Flavomycin’ should be thoroughly mixed in the finished feed of Broilers / Layers / Breeders atthe below mentioned rate:
. f,la’fomycin’ 40: Use 100-150 gm per metric ton of finished feed ( -6 ppm of active substance
Flavophospholipol)
. Flavomycin’80: Use 50-75 gm per metric ton of finished feed (a-6 ppm of active substance
Flavophospholipol)
. Flavomycin’should be given continuously in the feed for betteresults. lt can also be used at
10 ppm levelas week a month program inadult birds
