BioBiotic™ - Animal Nutrition & Immune Boosting

Please note that we supply two grades of Biobiotic:

Biobiotic 400 - Particle size 50 - 400 micron for blending with feed.

Biobiotic 3000 - Particle size 1000 - 3000 micron, specifically for aquatic hatcheries or direct feeding to small aquatic species.

BioBiotic contains a carefully selected strain of Spirulina platensis with enhanced levels of natural immune stimulating phytochemicals. Biodelta developed a unique cultivation process for Spirulina that enhances the biosynthesis and accumulation of specific immune stimulating compounds within the organism.

Recommended Use:

• Poultry - Broilers, Layers and Breeders.
• Ostriches
• Exotic Birds
• Fish Farming and Koi Breeding
• Crocodiles
• Pigs - Weaners
• Horses

BioBiotic is a natural growth stimulant and focus on immune enhancement with the potential to replace antibiotics in animal feeds. It is a registered animal feed supplement in South Africa with the following benefits:

• It stimulates the immune system by increasing the macrophage function and antibody response
• Inhibits the growth of pathogens in the digestive tract, including clearance of E. coli and Staphylococcus in the blood.
• The unique Polysaccharides in BioBiotic enhance the growth rate of Lactobacillus species thereby ensuring a healthy intestinal population.
• BioBiotic is supplied in a granulated, larger particle size for ease of application.

Trials conducted at the University of Stellenbosch show that BioBiotic results in a significant weight gain and reduced mortality in broilers.

Biodelta (Pty) Ltd is proud to be associated with a world-class Spirulina production facility and quality control is assured on-site by technicians who conduct chemical and microbiological assays to guarantee the purity of the ponds and final product.

At Biodelta a specially designed plastic tunnel individually covers each growth pond for optimum environmental control in order to produce a product of consistent quality. Each pond is therefore completely isolated and harvested separately for quality control purposes. This configuration also allows for the manipulation of selected ponds in order to produce Spirulina biomass with enhanced characteristics that will suite specific customer needs. These enhanced characteristics include selective increases in protein, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, polysaccharides, or trace elements (such as selenium, chromium, zinc and cobalt).

Trace elements

Biodelta also developed the ability to enhance the trace element concentration in BioBiotic. Selected trace elements are added as inorganic chelates at specific stages in the Spirulina growth cycle. These elements are then metabolised and converted into organic complexes within the organism.

Selenium levels can be enhanced to a final concentration of at least 200 mg/kg.

Zinc levels can be enhanced to a final concentration of at least 500 mg/kg.

After determining the optimum inclusion rate of Spirulina in a specific feed formulation, levels of specific trace elements can be enhanced in the Spirulina product to comply with the final trace element concentration required for a specific feed application.
