BACTAN™  – Enhancing Digestive Health in Poultry and Pigs

BACTAN™ is an intestinal health solution for pigs and poultry that combines the probiotic Bacillus sp. PB6 (ATCC PTA-6737) with phytogenic compounds. Delivered via drinking water or feed, it supports digestive function during gut health challenges and antibiotic-reduction strategies.

Features & Benefits:

·        Addresses gut health challenges: Supports normal digestive function in poultry and pigs, contributing to improved litter quality and animal comfort.

·        Supports Performance under challenge: Promotes zootechnical performance during periods of digestive stress, helping stabilize production results.

·        Antibiotic-reduction aligned: Enhances digestive function management as a key part of responsible antibiotic‑use strategies.

·       Flexible application: Adapted to multiple administration routes across operations (1, 5, 25 kg).

·        Water-soluble delivery: As a complementary approach to feed application, it mixes into drinking water to support rapid on‑farm response.

Rapid Gut Health Support Through Drinking Water

BACTAN™ is designed for moments when speed and dosing flexibility matter. Its water-soluble format allows producers and industry actors to act quickly, providing a practical solution for digestive function in poultry and pigs during challenging periods.

Probiotic + Phytogenic Mechanism for Digestive Stability

BACTAN combines Bacillus sp. PB6, which supports gut microbiota balance, with synergistic phytogenic compounds that contribute to oxidative balance and to the protection of the gut wall, thereby supporting gut function during periods of stress.

On‑Farm Gut Health Challenges 

Poultry and pig production face persistent challenges that directly impact digestive health and performance. Animals are frequently exposed to stressors such as dietary transitions, variable raw material quality, pathogenic pressure, and management and environment‑related stress.

These factors can disrupt the intestinal microbiota balance and integrity, leading to uneven growth, wet litter, or diarrhea. In poultry, poor digestive health often translates into deteriorated litter quality, increasing the risk of footpad lesions and animal welfare issues. In pigs, compromised gut health is closely linked to pre‑ and post‑weaning challenges and increased performance variability. Sustainably addressing these challenges requires fast, practical, and non‑antibiotic solutions that support gut function and help maintain productivity during periods of digestive stress.

Why Choose BACTAN?

BACTAN stands out for its synergistic effect, enabling fast, farm-ready intervention. Its dual formulation that combines Bacillus sp. PB6 with phytogenic compounds to support digestive function, litter quality, and consistent zootechnical performance, while aligning with responsible antibiotic‑use.
