Fibre is an important component of a monogastric feed. It can be divided into soluble and insoluble dietary fibre.
Lack of fibre in the diet can lead to the following conditions:
> Diarrhoea or constipation
> Cannibalism and nervousness
> Constant hunger
> Pathogens and disease
> Inferior digestion and absorption
> Stress and anxiety

Opticell® is a low inclusion high fibre product made from fresh wood which can assist in counteracting the listed digestive problems by the following modes of action:
Non-Fermentable Fibre regulates digesta movement in gut
Pigs
> Management of constipation challenges in sows
> Reduction in stress by stabilization of blood glucose
> Decreased diarrhoea in young animals
Poultry
> Management of wet litter in broilers and layers
> Helps reduce stress and feed intake in older layers
Fermentable Fibre has a Prebiotic effect in gut
> Stabilize populations of lactic acid bacteria
> Increased lactic acid and pH reduction
> Reduction in pathogenic bacteria
> Decreased intestinal ammonia
> Increased fermentation of Butyric Acid for intestinal mucosa integrity
Benefits of Opticell® include:
> Dietary fibre benefits at low inclusion level providing maximum ‘sparing effect’ for energy - fibre balance
> High water binding capacity
> High crude fibre content (59%)
> Fermentable fibre which supports gut health
> Mycotoxin free
