PRIMALAC OKAYED
BY AG CANADA
Probiotics are a new classification to
Agriculture Canada's feed regulatory
department., but the concept's ability to
control scours was made known to vet-
erinarians at the University of Guelph as
early as 1944. Wide acceptance of live-
stock probiotics did not occur until the
late 70s when Star Labs of St. Joseph,
Missouri, developed a heat and antibi-
otic stable group of micro-organisms
called Primalac.
Nuhn Bio -Tech of Stratford, On-
tario, has done field trials with most
Canadian hog premix companies over
the past five years. The results were
very positive, but a decision to work
towards registration with poultry was
made to coincide with the latest research
completed at North Carolina and Kan-
sas State Universities by Star Labs.
The results were conclusive that
Primalac could competitively exclude
salmonella organisms in an infected
flock. These findings and the consistent
reduction in mortality responses were
published in the United States. Feed
trials began in Canada, conducted by Dr.
Conrad Van Dijk and Dr. John Radu, in
July of 1989.
The test flock receiving Primalac in
their pelleted ration showed better feed
conversion and average weight. The
test was repeated in May of 1990 with a
competitor's enzyme, ammonia control
product added to the ration and again a
significant improvement was shown by
the Primalac birds.
Nuhn Bio -Tech plans to have a
Canadian university study performed
with grower hogs, and one with veal
calves, completed by the fall of 1991.
