BUILDING BOWEL RESISTANCE WITH HUMIGUT
The impact of compromised gut health on animal growth and performance
Gut integrity is crucial for growing animals, as compromised gut health can lead to reduced nutrient absorption and suboptimal performance. In young animals, developing intestines with impaired barriers are more permeable to harmful substances, negatively affecting their health, performance, and overall welfare.
A natural solution for enhanced gut health backed up by over 60 years of research
Humigut is a natural black powder made from humic acids, which are formed through the process of “humification” during the breakdown of organic material. These humic acids are naturally found in the diets of wild animals and provide essential benefits for gut health. Humigut consists of humic acids, which are listed under leonardite in the EU feed material catalogue (Number 13.10.2). Humigut has proven to support intestinal health and function, based on over 60 years of research in both human and veterinary medicine, as well as in animal nutrition. This extensive knowledge ensures its effectiveness in contributing to a healthy gut across all species.
Denkavit collaborates with GITES GmbH, a specialist in research and application with over 60 years of experience that has conducted more than 70 research trials.
Supporting gut health for improved performance and growth
Humigut supports gut health by forming complexes with pathogenic substances, aiding in their excretion, and creating a protective layer on the villi. This enhances nutrient uptake and utilisation, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, and improves growth and feed conversion rates. By providing this extra support, Humigut ensures animals have the best start and optimal performance.
Mode of action
Humigut aids in the natural detoxification of the gut by forming complexes with harmful substances, such as toxins and pathogenic bacteria, and supports their excretion. Its humic acids remain largely insoluble, staying within the digestive tract until they are naturally excreted, thereby reducing the toxic load on the animal. This helps neutralise harmful compounds like mycotoxins and endotoxins, while preserving the beneficial nutrients needed for optimal growth and development.
Humigut plays a crucial role in protecting the intestinal barrier by forming a protective layer over the intestinal villi. This layer prevents harmful pathogens from crossing into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of infections and supporting a healthier gut environment. In turn, this improves better nutrient absorption and contributes to overall healthy digestibility, optimising animal performance and growth.
