Plume Poppy Extract
Plume Poppy Extract for animal feed, supplied from audited Chinese mills with a full specification and certificate of analysis on enquiry.
About this ingredient

Plume poppy extract, from Macleaya cordata, is standardised on its isoquinoline alkaloids, principally sanguinarine and chelerythrine. It is one of the better documented botanical alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters.
It works largely by reducing inflammation in the gut wall and by influencing amino acid metabolism, which improves nutrient use rather than simply suppressing bacteria. Buy on standardised alkaloid content rather than on crude extract weight, and confirm approval in your destination market.
Where it is used
- Antibiotic free poultry and swine programmes
- Gut inflammation and enteritis support
- Piglet diets around weaning
- Aqua feed
Formulation note
