ADDCON XLM

The liquid performance Maximizer

Animal producers suffer from losses caused by bacterial contamination and associated effects on the livestock, such as lower daily
weight gain and increased mortality.
The strongest bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects among organic
acids have been demonstrated for formic acid.
ADDCON has made the documented effects of formic acid even
stronger by combining this trusted acid with the physiologically
important lactic acid.

The antimicrobial effects are beneficial for the animal in many
respects:

ADDCON XLM reduces the total microbial load in the

drinking water
ADDCON XLM targets undesirable bacteria such as
Salmonella and E. coli in the digestive tract
ADDCON XLM improves performance due to increased
digestibility and better FCR
