Product storage stability
When stored in the standard packaging at 20-25°C (60% relative humidity) for one year, the activity reduction was less than 0.5 log unit. However, storage at higher temperatures and 60% relative humidity significantly reduced the activity.

Storage stability in feed premix
When the product was added to a protein concentrate or mineral/vitamin premix for grower-finisher pigs, viability loss was limited after six months of storage. Similar results were observed when the additive was added to a complete feed.

Heat stability
Pelleting at 80°C reduced activity by less than 0.3 log units

Compatibility claims
Compatible with monensin sodium, salinomycin sodium, narasin, narasin/nicarbazin, nicarbasin, robenidine hydrochloride and diclazuril

Handling
Safety gloves, breathing protection, and glasses should be used during handling.
