- Product Background
A novel alternative approach to control coccidiosis which contains triterpenoid saponins that bind to the cholesterol of the protozoan cell membrane. Several bio-active immunomodulatory compounds reinforce the bird’s immunity during coccidiosis infection. The antioxidant bio-actives can alleviate the excess of the oxidative stress during infection. The plant bio-actives have been selected for their ability to reduce the acute inflammation encountered during coccidiosis.
- Product Benefits
- Anti-parasitic effect - Aflocox® interferes with the Eimeria cell wall synthesis Aflocox® contains triterpenoid saponins that bind to the cholesterol of the protozoan cell membrane. This leads to incomplete oocyst wall synthesis and eventually to partial cell lysis and cell death.
- Enhancing immunity - Aflocox® contains several bio-active immunomodulatory compounds (Saponins, Terpenoids) that reinforce the bird’s immunity during coccidial infection.
- Reducing oxidative stress - Phenolics, Flavonoids, Carotenoids. Reactive oxidative species are produced by the host’s cellular immune response during the invasion by Eimeria species. Although this plays a role in defending against parasitic infections, when concentrations exceed a certain level, they cause tissue damage and cytotoxicity. The antioxidant bio-actives within Aflocox® can alleviate excessive oxidative stress.
- Ameliorating inflammatory challenge - Saponins, Alkaloids. Upon invasion of Eimeria, a strong inflammatory response is induced which results in the destruction of the intestinal villi, diarrhea, hemorrhage cases, and, death in severe cases. The plant bio-actives within Aflocox® reduce the acute inflammatory response during coccidial infection.
