    Features & Benefits

    Product Highlights
    • Stimulates volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration in the gut. VFA can inhibit the growth of pathogen species in the ceca (Salmonella, E. coli, Klebsiella and Shigella)
    • Supports gastrointestinal tissue growth
    • Promotes villi height, crypt growth and gut cell differentiation
    • Supports natural defenses

    Applications & Uses

    Mode of Action

    Viligen™ is a proprietary combination technology that acts in creating an unfavorable environment for pathogens while promoting beneficial bacteria. This leads to an improved absorptive capacity of the intestine by providing:

    • Fatty acids

    • Prebiotic components

    • Readily available mineral forms

    For poultry, research shows that the unfavorable environment for pathogens created by Viligen can help the birds to build optimal gut health.

    For pigs, Viligen™ helps to promote a healthy microbe population and gut membrane development. In particular, it plays a powerful role in intestinal development, immune function and intestinal inflammation, which is a key element in the health status of the gastrointestinal tract of the pig.
