Key Benefits

  • Intestinal Microbial Balance: The patented B. subtilis PB6 strain supports beneficial bacterial populations and helps maintain a healthier, more resilient gut microbiome.
  • Nutrient Utilisation: A balanced gut is more efficient at absorbing nutrients, helping animals get more value from every kilogramme of feed consumed.
  • Stress Resilience: Helps maintain gut stability during periods of management, environmental, and nutritional stress, supporting normal digestive function when it matters most.
  • Consistent Performance: Supports growth, uniformity, and digestive efficiency across flocks and herds, contributing to more predictable animal performance.
  • Programme Compatibility: Compatible with organic acids and coccidiostats, allowing straightforward integration into existing gut health programmes.

 


How Does CLOSTAT™ HC SP Dry Support Gut Health in Monogastric Animals?

Bacillus subtilis PB6 is a well-characterised probiotic strain selected for its ability to support intestinal health across a range of production species. When administered through drinking water, CLOSTAT HC SP Dry provides a targeted, practical means of supporting gut stability, particularly during periods when the microbiome is under pressure. This includes transitions, stress events, and other challenges that commonly affect performance in poultry, swine, and other monogastric species in Sub-Saharan Africa's diverse production environments.

How Does CLOSTAT HC SP Dry Work?

CLOSTAT HC SP Dry delivers live spores of the patented B. subtilis PB6 strain. After ingestion, the spores germinate within the gastrointestinal tract, initiating a sequence of activity that supports a healthier gut environment.

Following ingestion:

  • The spores germinate within the gastrointestinal tract
  • Beneficial antimicrobial metabolites are produced
  • Beneficial bacterial populations are supported
  • A healthier and more resilient microbial balance is maintained

This mechanism of action helps create an intestinal environment that supports digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall animal performance. The spore-forming nature of B. subtilis PB6 also contributes to stability during processing, storage, and administration through water systems.

When to Use CLOSTAT HC SP Dry

CLOSTAT HC SP Dry can be used at any point when animals face challenges that may impact gut health and performance. It is particularly well suited to the following situations:

  • Weaning
  • Placement of young animals
  • Feed transitions
  • Heat stress
  • Transportation
  • Recovery following antibiotic treatment
  • Periods of intestinal imbalance
  • Other environmental or management stressors

These situations commonly place additional pressure on the gut microbiome and can benefit from targeted intestinal support. Strategic use during these windows helps maintain gut stability and supports recovery of microbial balance.

Suitable Species and Production Systems

CLOSTAT HC SP Dry is suitable for a wide range of species and production systems, including:

  • Poultry
  • Swine
  • Calves
  • Sheep
  • Goats
  • Horses

Its water-soluble format makes it practical across different production environments and management systems, providing flexibility for producers managing multiple species or varied operational conditions.

Intestinal Challenge Periods25 grammes per 500 litres of drinking water

Always use in accordance with label recommendations. Prepare fresh solutions daily.


Supporting Performance from the Inside Out

Strong, consistent animal performance starts with a healthy digestive system. Gut health underpins nutrient utilisation, stress resilience, and growth efficiency across all production species.

Whether animals are facing nutritional transitions, environmental stress, or periods of microbial challenge, maintaining intestinal balance is essential for sustaining performance. CLOSTAT HC SP Dry is designed to support that balance in a practical, flexible format that fits into existing management programmes.
