protecting at the cellular level against gut cytotoxicity caused by a variety of mycotoxins.


• Resilience: Building resilience at the cellular level prepares a flock to tackle the unseen challenges which may be-and usually are-hidden in the ration.


Research supports the use of RFCs Protecting the gut from mycotoxin damage reduces opportunistic gastrointestinal pathogen colonisation. In addition, the prebiotic nature of RFCs in BG-Max supports the growth of beneficial microorganisms, thus leading to a healthier gut microbiome.


RFCs can prevent cytotoxicity Refined Functional Carbohydrates have also proven effective


for helping birds consistently meet target weight goals. In a mycotoxin challenge study (Table 1), BG-Max supplementa- tion in broilers fed moderate levels of aflatoxin, deoxynivale- nol (DON) and zearalenone maintained body weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR).The threat of mycotoxins is real. What’s worse, feed testing and other traditional approaches can have serious limitations that end up being costly and largely ineffective in countering the risk. To keep mycotoxins from robbing your flock of its production and performance poten- tial, consider implementing the ‘inside out’ strategy outlined above to get protection, prevention and resilience at the cel- lular level. Not only is it supported by research, it also offers a welcome alternative when battling this ever-present threat.
