Elevating Animal Health with Organic Precision. Safeguard growth, gut integrity, and market weight with our innovative acid blend.
BioFort™ - Product Information, Benefits and Applications
BioFort™ is an innovative blend of organic acids and essential oils designed to optimize animal health, improve gut integrity, and boost productivity. Formulated with a precise combination of lactic, acetic, propionic, caprylic, and tannic acids, along with powerful essential oils like thymol and carvacrol, BioFort™ supports animals through every stage of production with a unique, natural approach.
Key Benefits of BioFort™:
1. Gut Health Optimization: BioFort’s organic acids create an acidic environment in the gastrointestinal tract, which inhibits harmful pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter. This balance promotes beneficial bacteria, leading to better gut integrity, efficient digestion, and enhanced nutrient absorption.
2. Antimicrobial and Antiviral Defense: The essential oils and organic acids in BioFort™ provide a broad-spectrum defense against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Essential oils like thymol and carvacrol penetrate and disrupt the cell membranes of pathogens, enhancing BioFort’s antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties for comprehensive gut protection.
3. Improved Feed Efficiency and Growth Performance: Caprylic acid in BioFort™ stimulates the release of ghrelin, a hormone that encourages appetite and growth. This promotes efficient feed intake and nutrient absorption, maximizing growth rates and feed conversion efficiency.
4. Reduced Stress During Transport: Tannic acid strengthens cell structures, minimizing fluid loss and reducing dehydration, which is especially beneficial during transportation. This reduction in stress-related weight loss preserves carcass quality and improves welfare at the processing plant.
5. Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Support: The essential oils in BioFort™ also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that protect gut cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, crucial for animals under production or environmental stress.
6. Biofilm Reduction in Water Systems: BioFort™ helps prevent biofilm build-up in water lines, ensuring clean water delivery and reducing the need for maintenance. This promotes consistent water consumption, supporting hydration and overall health.
Why Choose BioFort™? Why is it different from other organic acids?

BioFort™ - Technical Specification Sheet
BioFort™ is an innovative blend of organic acids and essential oils designed to optimize animal health, improve gut integrity, and boost productivity. Formulated with a precise combination of lactic, acetic, propionic, caprylic, and tannic acids, along with powerful essential oils like thymol and carvacrol, BioFort™ supports animals through every stage of production with a unique, natural approach.
Ingredients in BioFort™:
1. Lactic acid: Its effect is already widely known as an antibacterial agent and its participation in the Krebs cycle for the generation of ATP.
2. Acetic acid: Antibacterial and antifungal effect. It is corrosive in high concentrations but diluted there is no problem in its use.
3. Propionic acid: Inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria. It is not toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic or affects reproduction. These first three act mainly in the upper digestive tract such as formic and butyric acids, among others.
4. Caprylic acid: No other product on the market has this component in its formulation and among its multiple functions in addition to its bactericidal and fungicidal activity, it affects the lipids of the viral envelope producing an inactivation of these particles in a matter of minutes at a pH of 6. Something very interesting about this ingredient is that its effect and absorption takes place all the way to the small intestine. Because of this, it stimulates a hormone called Ghrelin that is located in the proventriculus, intestinal villi and crypts of
the duodenum to secrete more growth hormone. This hormone has been shown to be involved in stimulating food consumption.
5. Tannic acid: It actively participates in maintaining intestinal integrity by reducing the protean degradation of cells during the feeding stage or absence of food. It also increases the resistance of the cells of the intestinal submucosa, reducing the loss of intracellular fluids, which is reflected in a reduction in weight loss of the birds during their transport to the slaughterhouse, and its effect continues to be manifested in the carcass. Laboratory studies have shown that this acid has an anti-cancer effect without affecting the integrity of hepatocytes. Nepka et. the. (1999) and Kamei et al. (1999) report a protective effect against certain hepatic neoplasms, so it is considered an hepatic protector.
6. Oregano Pure Essential Oil: Pure oregano essential oil, rich in carvacrol and thymol, offers potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits. In BioFort™ formulations, these compounds work synergistically to boost immunity, support gut health, and reduce reliance on antibiotics.
7. The electrolytes in BioFort™, like zinc and copper sulfate, enhance water uptake, support gut integrity, aid metabolism and growth, and reduce stress effects such as dehydration and gut damage during feed withdrawal or transport.
8. Vitamins B3, B5, B12, C & E provide essential support for animal health. They enhance metabolism (B vitamins), boost immunity and antioxidant defenses (C and E), and promote stress resilience and overall performance.

How does BioFort combat enterobacteria pathogens differently?
Combines organic acids and essential oils to create a mutual effect, enhancing each other to lower gut pH, disrupt bacterial membranes, enhance hydration by promoting water intake by the animals, and synergistically target pathogens for better animal health.
BioFort reduces enterobacteria growth, improving gut health, lowering infection risk, minimizing transport stress, and preventing carcass shrinkage to maintain product quality.
What specific improvements in carcass yield and meat quality have been documented during pre-slaughter feed withdrawal with BioFort that are not typically achieved with competing products?
Reduces carcass shrinkage, improves meat quality by lowering pathogenic bacteria, and maintains hydration by improving water intake, enhancing overall yield and product condition.
How does BioFort’s ability to increase water consumption directly contribute to minimizing carcass shrinkage and body weight loss in animals before going to the processing plant?
Boosts hydration, supports gut health, and reduces carcass weight loss during transport by minimizing dehydration. By boosting water intake, BioFort helps support the proper functioning of cells throughout the body, ensuring that metabolic processes remain efficient during periods of stress like transportation. This reduces the risk of tissue damage and weight loss.
How does BioFort enhance welfare preslaughter?
Reduces pathogenic bacteria, promotes hydration, reduces stress and shrinkage, and provides a natural alternative to antibiotics, improving transport welfare.
What are BioFort’s financial advantages?
BioFort's ability to reduce bacterial contamination, shrinkage, and improve hydration directly affects bottom-line profits by reducing losses and improving overall productivity. The return on investment (ROI) can be substantial when factoring in reduced mortality, improved growth, and better transport efficiency. Compared to alternative additives, BioFort’s comprehensive approach (organic acids combined with essential oils) may offer a better ROI by addressing multiple aspects of animal health and transportation costs simultaneously.
