A new gut-level demonstration
Director, Global Research and Marketing
Since 1943, Diamond V has manufactured all-natural, fermentation- based feed additives that improve animal health and performance. We connect our unique competencies in microbial-based fermentation with our specie-specific expertise and world-class research to create profitable solutions for customers around the world. The unique metabolites in Original XPC support robust digestive health by balancing the immune system, gut microbiota, and optimizing gut morphology. The prebiotic activity of Original XPC helps promote a healthy balance of bacteria in the lower gastrointestinal tract, while the antioxidant activity improves immune function.
Now, a new human study may lend even more credence to this Diamond V hallmark benefit. Our sister company, Embria Health Sciences, recently participated in a study using a human "gut health simulator." This simulator, housed in Belgium, models the biochemistry of the human gut. The trial involved EpiCor, Embria's human nutritional fermentate for immune health, and rendered some fascinating results.
Not only did EpiCor stimulate growth of several key beneficial gut bacteria, but also lowered production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, an important immune-balancing result that suggests EpiCor directly impacts beneficial immune cell activity.
While EpiCor is formulated for human consumption and is not the same as Diamond V Original XPC, the fundamental technology and mode of action is similar; promoting healthier digestive function that drives a more balanced, healthier immune response. Healthier people and healthier, higher-producing poultry are proving that every day.
As always, we appreciate your readership of PoultryAdvisor and always welcome your input.
Kind regards,
Mike
