Applications
- Chitosan Oligosaccharide feed grade has a variety of applications in animal nutrition and health due to its natural bioactive properties. The main applications include:
- Immune System Support: Enhances the immune response in animals by stimulating immune cell activity, which helps reduce susceptibility to infections and diseases.
- Gut Health Improvement: Promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while inhibiting harmful pathogens, leading to better digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall gut health.
- Growth Promotion: Improves feed efficiency, helping animals convert feed into body mass more effectively, thus supporting healthy growth and weight gain.
- Antimicrobial Effects: Acts as a natural antimicrobial agent, reducing the need for antibiotics by inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses, especially beneficial for antibiotic-free farming.
- Environmental Impact Reduction: By improving nutrient absorption, it reduces the excretion of waste, thereby lowering ammonia emissions and other environmental pollutants associated with animal farming.
- Stress and Disease Resistance: Increases resilience to environmental stressors such as temperature changes, crowded living conditions, and transportation, ultimately reducing stress-related losses.
