What is Macleaya Cordata Extract?
This phytogenic additive comes from the seed capsules and aerial parts of Macleaya cordata (Pink Plume Poppy), a member of the Papaveraceae family.
The extract is rich in isoquinoline alkaloids—primarily sanguinarine and chelerythrine—quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids known for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
In the post-antibiotic era, this botanical ingredient addresses a critical industry challenge: replacing Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) in animal production.
It works by:
l Modulating gut microbiota balance
l Reducing intestinal inflammation through NF-κB pathway inhibition
l Exhibiting broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive pathogens
l Preserving beneficial gut flora
Unlike antibiotics, it builds no resistance.
This makes it ideal for maintaining livestock performance in antibiotic-free production systems.
