Uvecinavet is a powerful antibacterial agent, Cinnamaldehyde has proven to be one of the essential oils with the highest antibacterial capacity (far greater than other phenolic oils such as carvacrol and thymol), with a very high inhibitory capacity especially against coliforms and salmonella.
This antimicrobial capacity is selective, it promotes the growth of lactobacilli and lactic acid flora in general. Combining cinnamaldehyde with formic acid and propionic acid results in a synergistic antibacterial effect far greater than the sum of the individual effects of each ingredient.
There is triple effect of Uvecinavet:
1. Digestive: Stimulate appetite , enzyme secretion and gastric juice secretion, activate pepsin, improves digestion, sanitises feed, stimulates pancreatic enzymes therefore it is conceded as excellent natural growth promoter.
2. Antioxidant: Stimulates catalase and superoxide dismutase. Traps oxygen radicals, protect epithelial cells. Accelerates the renewal rate of enterocytes, reduce pathogenic contamination, protects against oxidative stress.
3. Flora-regulation: Controls pathogens (E.Coli, Salmonella, Clostridium, etc.), promotes lactic acid flora reduces toxin production, reduces intestinal fermentation.
Consequently, Uvecinavet plays a pivotal role to articulate a cost-effective approach to mitigating oxidative stress in the poultry industry. The supplementation of bioactive compounds in poultry feed improves the antioxidant ability, immunity and health performance. Cinnamon contains very active compounds, including essential oils and phenolics, which possess potent anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities that act as defensive agents against oxidative damage in the chicken intestinal tract.
