Biocite
Product Justification
1
Biocite Justification
Widespread use of antibiotics is a major contributing
factor to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in our ecosystem
Trend to use “natural” products
Biocite is made entirely from FDA GRAS constituents
Biocite is performing well in laboratory and field trials
Biocite is very cost-effective
2
A safe alternative
ß-(1-3/1-6)-glucan component enhances the nonspecific defence system in a variety of animals
The bio-flavonoids are effective against a number of
opportunistic pathogens
ß-glucan and alginates act as a powerful
immunostimulants by activating the white blood cells
antibiotics are very specific in their mode of action
3
A safe alternative 2
Immunostimulants like ß-glucans and alginates have a broad
spectrum, particularly under stress conditions against a wide
range of disease causing micro-organisms
They are very potent stimulator of the immune system,
activating macrophages, neutrophils and other white blood
cells, particularly at times when the immune system is
impaired due to a variety of reasons
In Biocite they are combined with a potent broad spectrum
anti-infective agent
4
Biocite constituents
Biocite contains a rich source of ß-(1-3/1-6)-glucan, which has
been consistently shown in multitudes of studies as a
stimulator of the immune system.
It has the ability to activate macrophages, neutrophils and
other white blood cells that have the ß-glucan receptor on
their surface
Only ß-(1-3/1-6)-glucan interacts with the CR3 protein on
macrophages to trigger the immune system
5
Biocite constituents 2
Contains Citrox - cost-effective broad-range
alternative to antibiotics
Contains a-humulones and iso-humulones from beer
hops, which also act as a bactericide
Contains alginates which act as immune modulators
6
Administration of Biocite
Optimum results are obtained with 2 kg/ton of feed
Administrated either continuously or up to 4 weeks
with, followed by 3 weeks without, etc..
Prior to vaccination, transportation or any condition
that favours an onset of disease
To stimulate the immune system
7
Aquaculture usage
Finfish are very susceptible to a variety of diseases
because pathogens can thrive and proliferate rapidly
in water
Disease spread is very difficult to control
Biocite-Aqua administered in the feed increases the
resistance to infectious organisms and controls
disease
Particularly effective in intensive fish farms
8
Young fish and shrimps
The non-specific defence mechanisms of young fish
and shrimp can be enhanced significantly by
immersing them in “solutions” containing BiociteAqua
This treatment is commonly applied to improve health
and reduce mortality
9
Biocite General
Feed preservatives and antibiotics and medication
can cause temporary immunosuppression with
reduced performance
Biocite not only contains GRAS broad spectrum
effective anti-infectious agents, but also enhances the
immune response, thus combating disease outbreaks
in two synergistic ways.
