TRENDING FILE FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2022 47 criteria. Lastly, acid binding capacity and cooking rate of starch sources have been added into the CCPA piglet formulation specifications. CCPA global approach has been widely spread and successful in the field since 2011. In trials, CCPA feed outperformed competitors, also non-medicated, with up to 50 g/d in average daily gain, a feed conversion ratio decreased by 0.15 points and a reduction by 50% of individual treatment. IMMAX TO COMPLETE DIGESTIVE SECURITY CCPA Group expertise has highlighted that even the best feed formulation cannot ensure a complete digestive security. That is why the use of additional feed solutions is necessary. According to this vision, IMMAX was developed to helps alleviate the multiple weaning challenges. In the gut, three systems ensure the digestive security and are linked together by multiple cross-relationships: the gut flora, the gut epithelium with its structure and immunity and the gut wall balance to limit water flow into the lumen. Numerous literatures confirmed that a solution which only target one of this system is not enough to completely reach a safe weaning. As a result, IMMAX offers a protection on all of them thanks to a combination of plant extracts and a prebiotic source. Plant extracts have been proven to enhance gut integrity in the literature. CCPA own in vitro trials has demonstrated that Scutellaria baïcalensis decrease the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. When included in the feed, IMMAX led to a reduction of the blood oxidative stress index, thus the piglets were better equipped to face oxidative stress. This index was calculated as the ratio between Hydrogen Peroxide and Biological Antioxidant Potential (i.e., the ratio between the level of oxidation and the level of protection). The second system to watch is the gut wall, with the risk of hypersecretion of water in the lumen leading to secretory diarrhoea. Curcuma, High level of growth and health are achievable without high level of zinc oxide in the prestarter feed. Farmers who weaned naturally must work with a secured feed formulation, appropriate feed solutions and the right farm management altogether.
