CONTROL PATHOGENS LIKE FAT ENVELOPE VIRUSES, GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA AND IMPROVES THE IMMUNITY OF THE BIRDS

MODE OF ACTION OF FRA C12

Monolaurin is the glycerol ester of lauric acid and is a wide-spectrum antiviral, antifungal, and anti-bacterial ingredient. Monolaurin is many times more biologically active than lauric acid in inhibiting viruses and bacteria. Generally, Monolaurin is more effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus and streptococcus. It is known from the literature that Monoglycerides of lauric acid (Monolaurin) show a particular Chemical behavior; they are hydro-dispersible and as such self-emulsifying compounds. These chemical characteristics allow this molecule to be active in four different environments: water, feed, stomach and intestinal tract.
