ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2022 45 hepatocytes. Saponins, acids and essential oils improve kidney function and clean the urinary tract of mineral-organic deposits and pathogens. Plant extracts constitute sources of easily absorbable minerals: potassium, silicon, calcium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium. Proper absorption of water and electrolytes is only possible when the intestinal villi have the correct structure (an effect of butyric, valeric and succinic acids), and the putrescent processes in the gastrointestinal tract are limited due to minerals (like iron) and short-chain fatty acids. Green tea, mint and sage extracts enhance appetite and restore proper gastrointestinal tract functioning (intestinal peristalsis, digestion and absorption). Furthermore, they stimulate the activity of birds in seasons with high temperatures and increase their appetite. Valeric acid, contained in the treatment, stimulates birds to drink water and feed regularly. It also exerts bacteriostatic and anti-fungal effects and prevents stress and neuroses while regenerating damaged intestinal villi. Other components, like saponins and succinic acid, bind harmful metabolites and remove them from the body. So adiVigoSOL® PF not only regulates the water-electrolyte metabolism, preventing dehydration, but also cleans the body enabling a return of homeostasis (internal equilibrium of the living organism). adiVigoSOL® PF IN THE FIELD The field tests and observations conducted in poultry farms and with veterinary doctors have confirmed the multidirectional effects of adiVigoSOL® PF. The product administered to broiler chickens in the summer season, caused, apart from higher water consumption, the maintenance of satisfactory feed conversion. In controlled facilities (with air exchange at levels up to 5 m2/h/kg live weight) the broilers only consumed the feed according to the standards up to 29.5ºC. At 30ºC, a significant reduction in feed consumption by broilers was observed. Above 33.5ºC, the birds were panting, significantly reducing their activity, and stopped moving in the poultry house. When the temperature in the poultry house exceeded 35.5ºC, the mortality rate of broilers due to overheating dramatically increased, reaching as high as 10% of the population daily. In the testing facilities where the product was used, tolerance of the highest temperature increased by 3ºC. The chickens were properly foraging up to the temperature of 33ºC. No increased rate of mortality was observed even after exceeding 35ºC. A significant reduction in deaths during transportation to the poultry abattoir was also observed. Eighty deaths were observed in the control group, compared with only three in the experimental group. adiVigoSOL® PF, administered to broiler chickens and turkeys during and after treatment with chemotherapeutics, significantly accelerated the birds’ return to everyday water consumption and growth. The treatment was more effective in the flocks where the product was used. Some differences were also observed in the anatomical appearance of the kidneys on pathological examination, and in the experimental group, practically no renal failure was observed. In practice, the administration of the treatment always translated into better productivity. Considering the numerous causes of loss of body homeostasis, which is particularly harmful in the heatwave periods, it is worth focusing on the multidirectional support of water-electrolyte metabolism in birds. adiVigoSOL® PF supplements body fluids, and provides normal functioning of all organs, particularly the kidneys, liver and pancreas. It increases water consumption and enables maintaining normal fodder consumption, which translates into better economic results, while reducing the mortality rate and increasing production performance in broiler chickens and turkeys.
