Nutriad develops MOLD-NIL？？ PRO to restrain moulds in grains
Press release
Nutriad developed a product called MOLD-NIL？？ PRO to combat the growth of fungi and bacteria in grains and animal feed.
Acids are currently used in order to restrain the growth of fungi and bacteria in grains and animal feed. Although effective, acids cause corrosion. It is an attack on the equipment. This is a known issue in grain storage and the processing of grains. In addition, the resistance to acids in fungi and bacteria increases with negative impact on effectiveness. These were reasons for Nutriad to develop a product that, compared to acids, is equally effective against a wide range of fungi and bacteria, but less corrosive and with reduced risk of resistance development.
Nutriad started to work with phyto-active substances: plant substances with a powerful effect. Tests have shown that these substances also contribute to ensure effective combating against a broad range of fungi and bacteria and that without being corrosive. The search has yielded a new product: MOLD-NIL？？ PRO.
MOLD-NIL？？ PRO is a blend of organic acids and phytochemicals, selected for their effectiveness against moulds in grains. From tests it has been shown that this combination works synergistically on its efficacy against moulds. It has a unique formulation with a minimised amount of free propionic acid, a reduced amount of total propionic acid and a maximised amount of buffered propionic acid.
MOLD-NIL？？ is not a new product in itself. The ''PRO'' version is a next generation product that works at least equally effective in the protection of cereals. With the addition for the phytochemicals the efficacy is in general more pronounced mainly due to the absence of resistance. The product is effective against a broad spectrum of moulds in grains and keeps cereals palatable and of a high nutritional value.
Nutriad, with its headquarters in Belgium, delivers additives for ruminants, pigs, poultry, pets and aqua over 80 countries worldwide today, supported by four application laboratories and five manufacturing facilities that are located in three continents.
