Progres^®

Livestock producers face a constant challenge to keep their animals healthy, productive and profitable while reducing reliance on antibiotics.

Poor gut health can be a real issue. It can cause intestinal inflammation and seriously impair an animal’s nutrient absorption, performance and well-being.

Inflammation of the intestinal tissue harms epithelial barrier function and deforms villi structure. This reduces nutrient absorption and opens an entrance for harmful bacteria, further inflaming the gut and leading to ‘leaky gut syndrome’.

Progres^® breaks this vicious cycle by utilising the natural protection mechanism of coniferous tree against bacteria, fungi and parasites to limit the production of certain enzymes that harm epithelial integrity. Progres^® also beneficially modifies intestinal microbiota, favouring butyrate producers and lactobacilli and reducing the growth of Gram-positive pathogens.

Whatever the specific cause of inflammation, resin acids will reduce the damage. By controlling inflammation, Progres^® improves gut health integrity, leading to improved performance, fewer intestinal disorders and less reliance on antibiotics.
