They cannot be avoided<\/h2>\n

Naturally living in the animal intestinal system, endotoxins\u2014literally meaning \u2018toxin from within\u2019\u2014are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) contained in the membrane of gram-negative bacteria. These LPS are inflammatory pyrogens and trigger an immune response in the gut. When stressed, the gut microbiome balance of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria tilts adversely to too many gram-negative bacteria. This immune response negatively impacts animal health and reduces production potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u2018Binding\u2019 the solution<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, when the gram-negative bacteria membrane divides, through binary fission, or is destroyed, like with an antibiotic, the damage-causing LPS is released in the animal\u2019s system. Therefore, killing gram-negative bacteria can actually have a detrimental side effect. Instead, they should be bound to a natural binding agent, allowing the toxins to pass through the gastrointestinal tract and not be absorbed. Agrifirm\u2019s toxin binding line has been scientifically shown to bind to both mycotoxins and endotoxins. We are the first to demonstrate endotoxin binding through ex vivo<\/em> studies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

On a farm, there are many risks to animal health that can be managed externally, however, some are unavoidable. Reducing stress can influence the ratio of gram-negative to gram-positive bacteria present in the gut. Still, the risk of endotoxins is always there. Since killing gram-negative bacteria releases high levels of LPS, binding them to pass through the animal is the best solution for health, performance, and profit. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n
