The HeiQ Synbio range for animal hygiene uses a patented combination of pro- and prebiotics, aiming to limit the chances of infections and decrease the need for antibiotics.
HeiQ provides an alternative to antibiotics
Since the 1950s, medical and veterinary professionals have used antibiotics, disinfectants, and antiseptic products to control harmful bacteria, fungi, and germs on animal farms. Today we know that this practice leads to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is harmful not only to animals but to humans as well.
Farms that have been using the HeiQ line of synbiotic products are experiencing remarkable results, namely a more balanced microbiome in animal housing and lower costs thanks to reduced labor requirements and stronger, more productive animals. Synbiotics can be used in water lines, animal housing cleaning, and surface fogging for reduced ammonia levels and smell.
HeiQ’s exclusive partner for farming in the UK market, Pruex, will also be at our booth (B10, Hall 23) demonstrating the advantages of HeiQ Synbio for animal care.
