Cobiotex
Bacterial barrier solution for flock health and barn environment.
Format: Cobiotex 410 (ready to use) and Cobiotex Elit (soluble concentrate)
Positive-barrier technology that installs a complex of beneficial bacteria in the ewes' environment to occupy surfaces and limit pathogen development. It helps prevent environmental diseases, improve barn atmosphere (including ammonia reduction), and support flock performance.
Quick summary
- Positive bacterial barrier designed to improve barn hygiene conditions.
- Useful in high-pressure phases: built-up bedding, lactation, lambing, and lamb groups.
- Helps reduce ammonia release and environmental microbial pressure.
- Two forms: ready-to-use Cobiotex 410 and concentrated Cobiotex Elit.
Frequently asked questions
When should Cobiotex be prioritized?
First in built-up bedding and sensitive periods (lactation, lambing, young animals), with regular maintenance.
Does Cobiotex improve barn atmosphere?
Yes, it is designed to reduce ammonia release and improve the housing environment.
What is the difference between Cobiotex 410 and Elit?
Cobiotex 410 is ready to use; Elit is a soluble concentrate to dose by protocol.
Does it replace sanitary management?
No. Cobiotex complements hygiene strategy and does not replace veterinary protocols.
Main objectives
- Reduce environmental disease risk in housing.
- Improve barn atmosphere, especially by reducing ammonia release.
- Support overall productivity and sanitary robustness of the flock.
Key components
- Multi-strain bacterial complex (25 strains deposited at Institut Pasteur).
- Quillaja extract (saponins) for ammonia capture.
- Eucalyptus globulus essential oil (410 version).
- Bacillus ISB06 strain, approved as TP3 biocide in Europe for veterinary hygiene.
Usage periods
- Built-up bedding (> 6 weeks), before new straw and then weekly maintenance.
- Lactating adults and lambing period.
- Young animals (lambs) for environmental prevention.
Usage conditions
- Cobiotex 410 - built-up bedding: 40 g/animal on floor + 40 g/animal on straw, then 40 g/animal/week.
- Cobiotex 410 - lactation: 40 g/animal/week; lambing: 50 g/animal/week; lambs: 25 g/animal/week.
- Cobiotex Elit - built-up bedding: 0.8 g/animal at setup, then 0.4 g/animal/week.
- Cobiotex Elit - lactation: 0.4 g/animal/week; lambing: 0.5 g/animal/week; lambs: 0.25 g/animal/week.
Precautions for use
- Follow dosage and application frequency for each physiological stage.
- Apply to bedding areas, overall litter, or locally on legs via dry footbath or spray.
- Can be used in organic farming according to current regulations.
