Norponin® XO : the benefits of saponins to manage coccidial risk

Saponines

Features

The power of saponins to manage coccidial risk.

Norponin® XO is a premix of additives standardized in saponins.

Contributes to coccidial risk management
Contained extracted saponins
Usable without withdrawal period
As efficient as chemical coccidiostats and ionophores for animal performance.
100% natural

Issues

Coccidia like Eimeria are highly contagious intestinal parasites, leading to serious problems in particular in poultry production. Economic losses are caused by an increased feed conversion, poorer growth and higher mortality. In addition, coccidia can contribute to the outbreak of secondary digestive troubles. The use of botanicals can be a valuable and an efficient alternative.

Composition

Patented combination of saponins.

Trial results

7 trials with coccidia inoculation were performed between 2016 and 2019: 2 in Europe (Belgium, Spain), 4 in America (3 in the USA, 1 in Peru) and 1 in Asia (Vietnam).

Each trial was conducted with an infected untreated control group (IUC, negative control), an infected group treated with coccidiostats (Ctrl+, positive control), and an infected group with Norponin® XO supplementation.

Results observed showed an improvement in feed conversion ratio, as well as an increase in average daily weight gain. Due to a reduced mortality rate (data not shown), the increased performance parameters resulted in a significant improvement of the European Broiler Index (+7%, EBI) compared to the negative control. In addition, no significant difference was observed between birds receiving coccidiostats and birds supplemented with Norponin® XO.

Performance parameters

Usage

Mode of action

1

Saponins are secondary metabolites produced by several plants mainly as a defense mechanism against microbes, insects or drought.
2

The selected saponins included in the Norponin XO will provoke the lysis of Eimeria.
