Monocaprylin is a new-generation, non-toxic, high-efficiency high-tech product developed by using the company’s latest research results in functional lipids, and its active ingredients have the ability to inhibit the growth of various harmful bacteria,promote the growth of intestinal mucosal cells, and regulate the balance of intestinal microecology. The addition of monocaprylin in feed can improve the survival rate,
uniformity and production performance, and reduce watery and feed stool.

Main feature
1 、 Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is low , broad spectrum of bacterial
inhibition , strong inhibition of bacteria and moulds , good thermal stability and acid and alkali resistance .
2 、 Effectively improve the micro-ecological environment of the gastrointestinal tract , enhance the intestinal barrier function , and repair intestinal mucosal damage .
3 、 Regulate the immune function of the intestinal mucosa and enhance the disease resistance of animals .
Main effects
1. Significantly inhibit the growth and reproduction of Escherichia coli , Salmonella , Crono bacter , Aero monas hydro phil us , Streptococcus , Staphylococcus aureus , Listeria monocytogenes , mycobacteria , and avian influenza virus . Able to penetrate the bacterial cell wall , destroy the cytoplasmic membrane , make the bacterial content leakage , leading to bacterial death.
2 , down-regulate the expression of the gene for the fat transcription factor peroxi some proliferat or-activated receptor γ ( PPARγ) , also act as an agonist of PPAR γ , competitively inhibit the binding of long-chain fatty acids to P PAR γ , reduce triglycerideand cholesterol synthesis .
3 、 It can improve the sugar and lipid metabolism of broilers , down-regulate the content of serum and jejunum pro-inflammatory factors , and enhance the early intestinal immune barrier function and body immune function of broilers .
Monocaprylin Function Verification
Application on broilers

The addition of 300 and 600 mg/kg Monocaprylin t o the diet of 7-day-old broilers significantly reduced the content of pro-inflammatory factors in the serum of broilers .
In vitro antibacterial test
| Compound | Bacterium | Concn ( mg/mL) | |
| MIC | MBC | ||
| Monocaprylin | E.coli S. aureus | 1.28 1.28 | 1.28 1.28 |
| Sodium benzoate | E.coli S. aureus | 8.00 16.00 | 16.00 32.00 |
| Potassium sorb ate | E.coli S. aureus | 8.00 64.00 | 16.00 128.00 |
The results show that the M ICs and MBCs of monocaprylin for both E. coli and S.aureus were 1.28 mg/mL.
