HIGH-QUALITY NATURAL FIBRE FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH AND GUT STABILITY

The importance of fibre in animal nutrition for optimal performance
Fibre is essential in animal nutrition, playing a key role in digestive health. Insufficient fibre can lead to issues like constipation, which reduces nutrient absorption and negatively impacts overall animal performance.

High-quality natural fibre for optimal animal health and performance
OptiCell is a natural eubiotic lignocellulose derived from wood. It provides essential dietary fibre for the digestive system. Through heat treatment and milling, raw wood is transformed into high-quality lignocellulose without the use of additives, ensuring it is free from mycotoxins. The careful selection of both wood and production process is crucial for its effectiveness. The low inclusion rate and consistent high quality of OptiCell enable nutritionists to create optimal diets, supporting health and performance across all species.

Supporting gut health and microbiome stability
OptiCell helps stabilise the microbiome, suppressing pathogens and contributing to the development of gut function. Elevated butyrate levels, as a result of OptiCell’s action, provide bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, improve gut integrity, and support overall gut health.

Mode of action

Balanced fibre composition with fermentable and insoluble fibres

The unique combination of fermentable and insoluble fibres in OptiCell play a key role in maintaining optimal digestive health. This balance supports a healthy gut microbiome by increasing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which deliver a steady energy supply. It also promotes efficient absorption of essential minerals and water, contributing to overall health and animal performance.

Demonstrates antioxidative properties at both a technical and physiological level

OptiCell provides antioxidative benefits on both technical and physiological fronts, shielding cells from oxidative damage. This protective action extends to the digestive system, by supporting gut health and helping regulate plasma glucose levels. The result is more consistent energy availability, which supports better long-term health and vitality in animals.

Farmers observe tangible benefits in animal health and performance

Farmers using OptiCell have observed clear improvements in animal health and productivity. Enhanced gut integrity and nutrient absorption, along with stable energy supply, lead to noticeable gains in animal vitality, growth, and overall performance, offering measurable benefits in day-to-day farm operations.
