Case Studies BioAktiv Animal Feed
products
BioAktiv Feed products assist in
improving the feed conversion
rate
reducing the mortality in poultry
giving larger pigs and poultry
reducing the wetness in poultry
sheds
improving the fluidivity of
slurry
by introducing oxygen into the
digestive system helping the development of more aerobic bacteria and reducing
anaerobic bacteria. Trials have shown that the addition of BioAktiv Animal feed
and BioAktiv Liquid feed shows a positive financial return.
The following are only some of
the case studies that confirm the benefits of the products such as poultry
growth, pig growth, reduction in ammonia improved slurry flow and dryer poultry
sheds.

 PIGS - EXTRACT FROM THE TRIALS CARRIED OUT ON PIGS BY THE
SACHSEN ANHALT ANIMAL RESEARCH CENTRE, IDEN GERMANY 2004
The trial was carried out two group of 100 pigs adding BioAktiv
Animal feed to the feed of one group The results were recorded as under.
Trial parameters
The following characteristics were determined:
Fattening performance: Initial wt., intermediate wt. every 4
weeks, final wt.,daily gain, feed consumption, feed conversion
Weight was determined for individual animals, feed consumption
for 4 groups each
Slaughter performance: Slaughter wt., lean meat content, grade,
fat thickness, meat index

Significance level: p < 0.05
Initial weights for the two groups were comparable. The final
weight of animals in the control group was 1.5 kg higher because they were the
last to be slaughtered.
Sex distribution differed for the two groups due to technical
reasons so that both the normal average and a corrected average are shown for
the mean daily weight gain, which is significantly better for the Bioaktiv group
in each case. Higher gains clearly resulted from greater feed consumption of
approx. 90 g/head/d and a trend toward better feed conversion.
Better daily weight gains significantly reduced by 7, the
average number of days in the shed, with about 2 days due to technical grounds
(see final weight).
