Lallemand introduces drinkable antioxidant for livestock

  
Lallemand Animal Nutrition has introduced MELOFEED^® DRINK, a water-dispersible form of its antioxidant solution MELOFEED^®, for use in the drinking water of all animal species.

MELOFEED^® is an antioxidant solution based on a concentrated melon juice and pulp naturally rich in primary antioxidant enzymes, superoxyde dismutase (SOD) and catalases.

Developed by Lallemand and Bionov and tested in farm trials with poultry, piglets and rabbits, MELOFEED^® DRINK is stable in water for 24 hours and ensures homogenous concentration of SOD.

The new solution facilitates a flexible application of the antioxidant source, allowing rapid intervention at times of high oxidative challenges such as heat stress, vaccination and pathogen challenges.

MELOFEED^® DRINK can be incorporated directly into water lines on farms at the precise dosage and time of intervention for all animal species.
