What exactly is Protexin?
Protexin is a highly concentrated probiotic which contains millions of a beneficial microorganism which occurs naturally in the gut of all healthy birds and animal. These microorganisms colonise the immature gut or re-establish the disrupted gut, thus promoting the mechanism of competitive exclusion against potential pathogenic bacteria.
The probiotic strain contained within Protexin has been sourced from a culture collection. The strain is grown in a fermentation chamber of 5000L capacity. It is then protected using cryoprotectants and then freeze dried to form a powder before being blended with the other components of Protexin concentrate in exact concentrations. This ensures that every batch of Protexin concentrate contains exactly the same microorganism in the exact concentrations as specified.
The fermentation facilities must meet very high standards of quality control and hygiene as they have been licensed also to produce human grade probiotic microorganisms. |
