Biovet S.A. has designed a new version of Alquernat Yucca Liquid that contains extract of Yucca spp. and as a novelty it incorporates cimenol ring. It is a nutritional supplement that markedly reduces ammonia concentrations in farms.

Ammonia is a toxic gas produced mainly by bacteria present in excrements and the digestive tract. Among other negative consequences, it causes irritation of the respiratory tract and, therefore, reduction of the productive parameters. It is important in intensive livestock farms, since high concentrations of ammonia in the environment can reach harmful levels.

Cassava extract (without cimenol) contains glycocomponents and saponins as the main active ingredients. The glycocomponents bind to ammonia, fixing it and forming less toxic compounds. Saponins have surfactant properties and a very limited antimicrobial action.

To increase the antimicrobial action of saponins, a cimenol ring has been introduced. Thanks to its incorporation, the activity of Alquernat Yucca is enhanced and, therefore, it reduces the amount of ammonia producing bacteria and the concentration of this gas in the environment.
