The intestinal tract is home to a microbial community that lives in a symbiotic relationship with the animal. The microbiota helps the animal resist pathogens, develop, maintain immunity, and digest feed. Changes in the microbial population can be detrimental to the animals’ performance. Therefore, maintaining a healthy microbial balance is crucial for optimal health and productivity.
TechnoSpore® has been specially developed to support microbial balance and a beneficial gut environment. TechnoSpore® is an innovative probiotic feed additive based on the unique strain Bacillus coagulans DSM 32016 that combines the advantages of both spore-forming bacteria and lactic acid bacteria—heat stability and lactic acid production.
TechnoSpore® delivers a gut health solution for monogastric animals and is the first of its kind to be approved as a safe and effective feed additive for animal nutrition in the European Union. TechnoSpore® has demonstrated its ability to improve animal performance and maintain overall gut health under various conditions worldwide.
TechnoSpore® uses several modes of action that promote animal gut health, performance, and feed digestibility. B. coagulans DSM 32016 is a hardy, spore-forming bacterium that can withstand harsh environments making them suitable for pelleted feed. When the environment becomes favorable, such as in the animals’ intestine, the spores germinate into active lactic acid-producing, health-promoting cells.
Lactic acid fermentation can alter the pH of the nearest surrounding, making it suboptimal for pH-sensitive pathogens. The additional production of digestive enzymes and stimulation of epithelial growth by TechnoSpore® enhances nutrient availability and feed efficiency.
B. coagulans DSM 32016 positively modulates the microbiota including the direct reduction of pathogenic growth. In this regard, B. coagulans DSM 32016 inhibits harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella, while encouraging the growth of beneficial, health-promoting bacteria.
B. coagulans DSM 32016 has also been shown to have immunostimulatory effects, which result in increased amounts of antibodies and a strengthened immune defense. Overall, TechnoSpore® is an environmentally friendly gut health solution that optimizes animals’ performance for more sustainable animal production.*This product may not be available in all markets.
