	Remedies of Diarrhoea

How the Remedies against Diarrhoea Work BIOFIBER·DAMINO has studied the effect of among other things pectin and other vegetable fibres in the gastrointestinal tract and used this knowledge to develop a number of dietetic supplemental feedstuffs, which are effective against diarrhoea and ensure the normalization of the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
In the healthy intestine, the intestinal flora is well-balanced, dominated by lactic acid bacteria, which thrive in the mucous layer around the villi on the inside of the intestine. The nutrients in the feed are broken down and rapidly absorbed through the intestinal wall together with the liquid from the intestine.
Unfavourable conditions may cause the harmful bacteria to colonize on the villi of the intestinal wall, sending toxic substances into these. The toxins slacken the intestinal walls while liquids and electrolytes are leaking into the intestine. As a consequence, the protective mucous layer is damaged. Now, the intestine is slack and severely attacked by bacteria, and the villi will be damaged. This means that hardly any nutrients and liquids will be absorbed from the intestine. The animal is seriously weakened by dehydration and loss of electrolytes and suffering from severe diarrhoea. The remedies of BIOFIBER·DAMINO against diarrhoea contain soluble vegetable fibres that, together with the liquid, form mucus, which will settle on the damaged villi as a protective layer, whereas insoluble vegetable fibres bind liquids, toxins and bacteria, which will rapidly be voided with the manure. Astringent matters cause the intestinal wall to contract, whereby the healing of the damaged villi is encouraged and dehydration counteracted. The products contain electrolytes to create a normal fluid balance in the intestine. Furthermore, they contain glucose to help to absorb the electrolytes and provide energy to the animal. Combined, these ingredients cause the villi to heal and the digestion to normalize. Remedies against diarrhoea, which have been optimized for admixture to milk, have the advantage that the milk supplies the animal with nutrients, and the natural content of electrolytes and lactose in the milk contribute to improving the fluid balance in the intestine. The water-soluble lactose is assimilated into the mucous layer and together with the mucus supplies the lactic bacteria in the intestine with nutrients. The lactic acid bacteria form short-chain fatty acids, which are an important nutrient for the animal, and these will form lactic acid, which contribute to impede the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine.
