NEWS 12 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE January 2025 Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer, launched BACTAN™, an innovative, water-soluble product designed to reduce diarrhea, wet litter, and antibiotic dependency in pigs and poultry. The company explained that BACTAN provides veterinarians and producers in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (EMENA) with a sustainable solution to enhance animal performance. BACTAN has proven highly effective for pigs in reducing post-weaning diarrhea and enhancing growth—all through its simple and efficient water-based application. Because it is water-soluble, Bactan offers quick and easy application through drinking water systems, eliminating the need for feed adjustments, in case of sudden challenges. Kemin emphasized that this reduces diarrhea and wet litter, enhances animal performance, and enables faster responses to challenges, making it a vital tool for reducing antibiotic use and supporting overall animal health. “Bactan is an exciting development for our customers, as it works towards advancing sustainable animal health solutions,” said Valentine Van Hamme, Marketing Manager, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA. During the R&D process, Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health – EMENA reportedly conducted extensive field trials that demonstrated BACTAN’s ability to significantly reduce diarrhea and enhance growth in pigs and poultry. In poultry, specifically, the field trials showed improved weight gain, better feed conversion rates, and a significant reduction in wet litter.
