THE INFLUENCE OF SPECIFIC PHOSPHOLIPIDS AS ABSORPTION ENHANCER IN ANIMAL NUTRITION

The ability of Lysoforte, a specific phospholipid, to act as absorptio n enhancer in animal nutrition, has been studied. The addition of Lyso forte in feed supplements a natural surfactant, which assists and prom otes the absorption of nutrients. Tests with live baby hamster kidney cells demonstrated the influence on the absorption of saturated fatty acids. Animal trials with broilers, sows, piglets and pigs were set up to investigate the improvement of the technical performance as well a s the influence on the carcass quality in pigs. The synergistic effect of Lysoforte on other additives, such as enzymes, has been examined i n broiler trials as well.
