Barrier effect
Lactic acid in the small intestine and short chain fatty acids in the large intestine can enhance the barrier effect which prevents the growth of pathogens. Oligosaccharides can stimulate the production of such acids by Lactobacillus and Bifidobacter and hence increase the barrier effect.
OligOsaccharides as Receptors
Many bacterial pathogens possess surface adhesions or lectins which are carbohydrate bind-ing proteins. These pathogens and their toxins attach to the oligosaccharide component of glycoconjugate receptors present on the surface of epithelial cells. This will reduce the ability of a pathogen or toxin to bind to its target epithelial cell surface receptor. Since the attachment of bacterial pathogens to mucosal surfaces is an essential first step in pathogenesis, the oligosacharide receptor can inhibit the attachment pro-cess and prevent diseases. Mannanoligosacharide can inhibit the attachment of E. coli and Salmonella with type 1 fimbrial adhesions to il-eal epithelial cells and hence reduce Salmonella colonization.
Absorbing toxins and pathogens
Attachment of E. coli, Vibrio, Cholera and Sal-monella to epithelial cells of mucosa is through a mannose-specific lectin-like substance present on the surface of the bacteria. In the presence of mannanoligosaccharide, the pathogens may be bound to its mannose sites and therefore fail to colonize on the epithelial cells of mucosa.- Products Features
OLIGOSACCHARIDES
Oligosaccharides are polysaccharides that yield from two to eight monosaccharide units upon hydrolysis. Oligosaccharides include fructo-, galacto-, mannan-, xylo-, and chito-oligosaccharides. Fructo- and mannanoligosaccharides have been reported to evoke specific physiological effects when con-tained in food for monogastric animals. The majority of these effects are related to the re-sistance of these oligosaccharides to break-down by the digestive enzymes secreted in the gastrointestinal tract, in combination with their properties as soluble substrate for specific microbial populations in the digestive tract of monogastrics.
OLIGOSACCHARIDES & BACTERIA GROWTH
Fructo-oligosaccharide is largely resistant to acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis by the di-gestive system of monogastric animals but is degradable by specific microorganisms. Fructooligosaccharide can be used by beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli and can not be used by patho-genic bacteria such as Clostridia, E. coli and Salmonella. The effects of fructo-oligosac-charide on the growth of certain bacteria is listed below:

NutraOligos™ is a natural, functional feed additive. It contains fructo- and mannan-oligosaccharides,enzymes and β-glucan.
NutraOligos™ can modify the intestinal ecosystem of animals by stimulating the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactoba-cillus. It can also stimulate the immune system and reduce the toxins and patho-gens in the GI tract, hence promoting animal health and growth.
