NEWS 8 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2021 New endotoxin specialist from Dr. Eckel: ANTA®CATCH Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition launched an innovative endotoxin specialist following two years of development. Specially developed to defend against dangerous endotoxins, the latest product from the renowned experts in innovative feed additives promises maximum effectiveness and comprehensive protection. L ivestock bears the brunt of endotoxin contamina- tion: all too often, this results in hoof infections, ear or tail necro- sis, liver disease and diminished performance due to an overactive immune system. To help feed producers, farmers and animals combat endotoxins, the multi- disciplinary team of experts at Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, has spent two years of intensive development to produce the best available solution to endotoxins. And finally, Dr. Eckel’s latest product innovation was launched on 4 February. Its name: Anta®- Catch. Dr. Eckel states that farm- ers and producers can get the threat posed by endotoxins under control with this highly effective product. “Feedback we had been receiv- ing from customers for some time increasingly indicated the pres- ence of high endotoxin levels. The available options did not seem to be helping much,” explains Iris Kröger, Technical Sales Manager at Dr. Eckel. “It was clear that we needed something new. So we de- cided that we would be the ones to find it.” DOUBLE-ACTIVATED AND TRIPLE MODE OF ACTION The secret of Anta®Catch’s suc- cess lies in this careful selection of raw materials and the produc- tion process due to which it is double-activated and has a triple mode of action. And this is how it works: first, the product is ac- tivated through the rectification of the cations on its surface, en- abling Anta®Catch to immobil- ise endotoxins over a wide pH range, effectively catching up to 99% of the endotoxins; then, the micronised ingredients—i.e. sub- stances that have a particularly small particle size—ensure opti- mal bioavailability. Anta®Catch’s special triple mode of action kicks in simulta- neously: it supports the forma- tion of an intact intestinal bar- rier, contributes to the effective protection of the liver against en- dotoxins and thus promotes liver function. Consequently, Anta®- Catch comes with the promise of strong and healthy animals, top performance and animal-friendly and profitable production.
