Why Use Agra-C in Poultry
Among the candidate replacements for antibiotics are organic acids, both
individual acids and blends of several acids. Like antibiotics, short-chain organic
acids also have a specific antimicrobial activity. Unlike antibiotics, the antimicrobial
activity of organic acids is pH dependent. Organic acids have a clear and
significant benefit in weanling piglets and have been observed to benefit poultry
performance. Organic acids have antimicrobial activity; however, there appear to
be effects of organic acids beyond those attributed to antimicrobial activity.
Reductions in bacteria are associated with feeding organic acids, which are
particularly effective against acid-intolerant species such as E.
coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter. Both antibiotics and organic acids improve
protein and energy digestibilities by reducing microbial competition with the host
for nutrients and endogenous nitrogen losses, by lowering the incidence of
subclinical infections and secretion of immune mediators, and by reducing
production of ammonia and other growth-depressing microbial metabolites.
Organic acids have several additional effects that go beyond those of antibiotics.
These include reduction in digesta pH, increased pancreatic secretion, and trophic
effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa (J. J. Dibner and
P. Buttin, 2002).

The growing concern over the transmission and the proliferation of resistant
bacteria via the food chain has led to a ban of the feed use of antibiotic growth
promoters (AGP) in livestock within the European Union since 2006. As a result,
new commercial additives derived from plants including aromatic plant extracts
and their purified constituents have been exanimated as part of alternative feed
strategies for the future. Such products have several advantages over commonly
used commercial antibiotics since they are residue free and they are also,
generally recognized as safe and commonly used items in the food industry (Varel,
2002). These botanicals have received increased attention as possible growth
performance enhancers for animals in the last decade. Apart from their traditional
use, a host of beneficial effects have been reported by experimental studies during
the past three decades. Among these are their beneficial influence on lipid
metabolism, ability to stimulate digestion, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties,
and anti-inflammatory potential (Acamovic and Brooker, 2005). Besides
antibacterial properties, EOs or their components have been shown to exhibit
hypolipidemic (Srinivasan, 2004), antioxidant (Kempaiah and Srinivasan,
2002 and Botsoglou et al., 2004), digestive stimulant (Platel and Srinivasan, 2004),
antiviral (Bishop, 1995), antimycotic (Jayashree and Subramanyam, 1999 and Mari
et al., 2003), antitoxigenic (Ultee and Smid, 2001 and Juglal et al., 2002),
antiparasitic (Pandey et al., 2000 and Pessoa et al., 2002), and insecticidal
(Konstantopoulou et al., 1992 and Karpouhtsis et al., 1998) properties as well as
inhibition of odor and ammonia control (Varel, 2002).

What Makes Agra-C the Better Choice
In Agra-C, the microencapsulation matrix is comprised of these essential oils and
organic acids, which coats the ascorbic acids in its matrixes that are sensitive to
each layer of the digestive tract with their acidic environments.
Pure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a naturally occurring organic compound with
antioxidant properties that is unstable when subject to feed processing of
any sort, which loses stability rapidly. Vitamin C in other words is very unstable.
It oxidizes rapidly when exposed to air and heat. Raw Vitamin C is unstable, loses
its potency when subjected to feed processing, heat and air. It oxidizes rapidly.
Microencapsulated Vitamin C is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that can withstand
the rigors of feed processing and remains intact when fed.
The preferred form of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) to use depends upon feed
processing conditions and to some extent the specie fed. For cold pelleted
diets, our 70% Ascorbic Acid which is physically stabilized using high
quality microencapsulation technology is the product of choice, as
enzymes present in the feed matrix can cleave the phosphate groups off
chemically stabilized ascorbic acid, lowering its overall stability. For steam
pelleted diets, both technologies can be effective and comparable on a cost
in use basis. However, for species with short intestinal tracts such as
shrimp, 70% AGRA-C has been shown to be completely bioavailable,
whereas the competitor’s chemically stabilized Ascorbic Acid may not be
completely available due to incomplete cleavage of the phosphate esters off
the Ascorbic Acid molecule. AGRA-C is delivering 70% of PURE ASCORBIC
ACID with 94% bioavailability.
Phosphorylated Ascorbic Acid such as Stay-C is water insoluble, resistant to
feed processing conditions and are approximately 35%-40%. As opposed to
chemically stabilized Ascorbic Acid which can become unstable due to
humidity, heat and light during storage, which affects bioavailability, AGRA-C
has a thin coating around each particle of the matrix which makes it stable
even when exposed to environmental conditions. This greatly diminishes
poultry response to heat stressors that diminishes immunity, feed intake, weight
gain, egg production, number of chicks per hen, hatchability of fertile eggs, egg
and carcass quality, mineral balance, and increases panting and mortality and
affects semen quality and fertility in male birds. Therefore, environmental
conditions will not change the bioavailability of AGRA-C and greatly the affects
of heat stress reactions.
