Animals are exposed to stress challenges all through their lifecycle. With stress come endotoxins, increasing inflammatory reactions and reducing performance. Act efficiently to maintain production performance and prevent losses, with an integrated approach and responsive services.
Support against stress for animal production businesses and feed manufacturers
What are endotoxins?
Endotoxins are toxins released by pathogenic bacteria when the cell walls are disrupted or when the bacteria die and the cell walls disintegrate. Stress greatly enhances the risk of endotoxins.
What do they do?
In large quantities, they produce hemorrhagic shock and severe diarrhea; smaller amounts cause fever, altered resistance to bacterial infection, leukopenia, and numerous other effects.
Recognize the danger posed by LPS. Prevent potential losses to your business.

Exotoxins
Exotoxins are toxins shed by some bacterial cells into the surrounding environment. They can cause severe health problems locally or to other parts of the organism, where they are carried through the bloodstream.
Endotoxins
Bacterial toxins are not freely liberated into the surrounding environment. The damaging components are only released when the cell disintegrates. The complex macromolecules (lipopolysaccharides) can then cross the barrier into the bloodstream, especially in animals exposed to various types of challenges, and cause or enhance health issues.
Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi. They too can cause severe health issues in animals, especially through the contamination of feedstuffs. This contamination is very common and often invisible to the naked eye.
