ADDCON XF Superfine

<strong>ADDCON</strong> <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong><br />

Safe feed saves money<br />

Contaminated feedstuffs or recontamination during storage, transport<br />

and outfeed result in significant losses in productivity, if not<br />

severe outbreaks of disease, as a result of microbial and fungal<br />

growth. Furthermore bacterial- and mould growth also reduce the<br />

nutritive value of feed.<br />

The secret is in the mix<br />

The strongest mould inhibition among organic acids has been<br />

demonstrated for propionic acid, whereas the strongest bactericidal<br />

acid is formic acid.<br />

<strong>ADDCON</strong> has made the documented effects of both acids “safe<br />

and easy” for the end-user – in the form of their calcium salts.<br />

<strong>ADDCON</strong> <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong> stands for:<br />

• easy handling and mixability<br />

• tested effectiveness<br />

• very strong anti-fungal and anti-bacterial effects<br />

Constant research and development by the <strong>ADDCON</strong> teams in<br />

Germany has led to the first dry product that mixes equally well as<br />

liquid mould inhibitors. Thus <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong> is highly effective, safe<br />

and easy to use.<br />

The combined anti-fungal and antimicrobial effects are beneficial<br />

for the feed and animal in many respects:<br />

• <strong>ADDCON</strong> <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong> prevents and stops the spread of moulds<br />

in the feed<br />

• <strong>ADDCON</strong> <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong> targets harmful bacteria such as Salmonella<br />

and E. coli<br />

• <strong>ADDCON</strong> <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong> stabilises feed quality and reduces buffer<br />

capacity<br />

• non corrosive<br />

• powder<br />

• highly effective<br />

• Prevents moulds<br />

• Controls bacteria<br />

• Reduces buffer capacity

Numerous trials have shown that the combination of the correct organic<br />

acids or their salts, with proven effects against fungi and bacteria<br />

- like propionic and formic acid - leads to hygienic feed, which<br />

prevents losses during storage.<br />

The use of <strong>ADDCON</strong> <strong>XF</strong> <strong>Superfine</strong> under practical conditions shall be<br />

a part of the new feeding concept, with high quality feed and therefore<br />

productive animals!<br />
