VANNIX^™ C4

Phytogenic Feed Additives – Not All Are Created Equal

Phytogenics are natural, bioactive molecules from plants such as tannins, essential oils, saponins or flavonoids. Conventional phytogenic feed additives (PFAs) often contain ingredients sourced from dried plant materials or extracted plant essential oils which – because of natural variation among plants – can result in variable levels of active molecules in the PFA. This variation may impact the efficacy and consistency of the PFA under field conditions.⁴

VANNIX C4 differs from conventional PFAs because it not only contains both phytogenic and probiotic ingredients but also because the ingredients and active molecule levels are standardized during manufacturing of the final product. This process helps to ensure that VANNIX C4 will provide consistent responses for your operation.

Vannix C4 – Multiple Activities For Maximum Impact

Gut health challenges are frequently intertwined. That’s why VANNIX C4 was designed to offer multifaceted activities to knock-out common enteric pathogens including Eimeria and Clostridium perfringens.

A novel phytogenic feed additive, VANNIX C4 combines the functional activities of bioactive phytogenic molecules, including tannins, and the active microbial Bacillus subtilis PB6 to provide producers with a cost-effective antibiotic alternative solution for managing gut health challenges. Research has shown that the synergistic ingredient combination in VANNIX C4 protects gut health in four main ways, thereby supporting optimal poultry performance.
