Packaging: 20-kg net in Kraft-paper bag Meito Healthy Friend (MHF) contains Dextran-oligosaccharide as a prebiotic. By improving intestinal microflora of livestock and poultry, MHF has many efficacies on them and brings much profit to livestock and poultry industries. Ingredients: Dextran-oligosaccharide, Fructose and Glucose Features and Benefits: Dextran-oligosaccharide is non-digestible carbohydrate and pass through the digestive tract to the colon. [Fig.1] Promotion of the growth of Lactic acid bacteria in intestine [Fig.2]   Reduces intestinal pH [Fig.3]   Excludes Salmonella and Escherichia coli [Fig.4-1 and Fig4-2]   Improves the condition of feces [Fig.5-1 and 5-2]   Improves weight gain [Fig.6]   Improves feed efficiency [Fig.7]   Enhances milk productions [Fig.8]   Improves egg productions [Fig.9]

Resistance of Dextran-oligosaccharide to artifical gastric juice (Comparison with Fructo-oligo.)

Since Dextran-oligosaccharide in MHF is not digested by gastric juice, the oligosaccharide reaches intestines efficiently. Therefore lactic acid bacteria grow up by utilizing Dextran-oligosaccharide in it.

Improvement of intestinal microflora in layer (promoting the growth of Lactobacillus bifidus)

Lactic acid bacteria produces organic acids like lactic acid from MHF, and the various organic acids reduce intestinal pH. Therefore, low pH is helpful in preventing infections of pathogenic and growths of non-beneficial bacteria.
