CLOSTAT™
New Zealand
CLOSTAT™ contains a proprietary, patented strain of Bacillus subtilis, PB6. PB6 is a unique, naturally occurring spore-forming microorganism. Kemin identified and selected the specific strain of PB6 because it helps to maintain the balance of microflora in the intestinal tract of animal and livestock.
The intestinal tract of healthy swine contains a great number of different microorganisms whose balance promotes digestion, absorption of nutrients and overall health of the intestine. These microorganisms are both beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp, and pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium spp. Under normal circumstances, there is equilibrium between the bene cial and the pathogenic bacteria called eubiosis.
Sows are subjected to many stressors during their reproductive life cycle of breeding, gestation, farrowing and lactation. During these phases, different housing, management and feeding conditions affect the intestine micro ora balance. The result may be decreased maternal performance, reproductive efficiency and increased morbidity and mortality of nursing piglets.
An improved maternal line of sows housed in a typical production unit were fed Bacillus subtilis (PB6) for 12 weeks. Production parameters on the farm were compared to the previous 12 week period where no Bacillus subtilis (PB6) was fed:
| Item | Previous 12 Weeks | 12-week Trial Period |
|---|---|---|
| Non-productive sow days | 57.50 | 54.40 |
| Wean to 1st service (days) | 6.36 |
6.51 |
| Pre-Weaning mortality (%) | 18.41 |
18.05 |
| Pigs weaned/litter | 9.63 |
9.75 |
Weaning weight/pig (lbs.) |
12.84 |
12.92 |
Sow mortality (%) |
9.52 |
9.05 |
Bacillus subtilis (PB6) fed to sows resulted in a 3 to 5 days improvement in non-productive sow days and a 0.36% reduction in pre-weaning mortality. Pigs nursing Bacillus subtilis (PB6) sows were heavier (12.92# versus 12.84#) and there were more of them (9.75 versus 9.63) at weaning. Sow mortality also decreased from 9.52% to 9.05%.
CLOSTAT™ trial in replacing AGP in a commercial broiler was conducted in Asia.
| Group | Average Body Weight (kg) | Feed Conversion Rate (FCR) | Performance Index* (PI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLOSTAT™ | 2.73 | 1.61 | 407 |
| Enramycin | 2.53 | 1.57 | 389 |
*Performance Index compare the live-bird performance of flocks which includes live weight, age, liveability and feed conversion efficiency.
CLOSTAT™ is compatible with common feed additives and most coccidiostats used in the feed industry and is heat stable under normal commercial pelleting conditions.
