Florentero

Innovation and efficacy– The Symbiotic concept

Florentero® is the first symbiotic for pets (dogs, cats and rabbits) available in the market.

The concept of symbiosis derives from the combined administration of prebiotics and probiotics. Survival, colonization and beneficial effects of exogenous probiotics can be enhanced and increased by the simultaneous administration of probiotics and prebiotics (that are utilized by the probiotics in the intestinal tract).

Prebiotic Action
FOS Fructo-oligosaccharides MOS Manno-oligosaccharides	a.increases rooting and reproduction capacity of lactobacillus in the intestine b.allows rapid activation of probiotic factors (within 2-4 hours after ingestion) c.makes the intestinal environment unsuitable for pathogenic bacteria replication, thanks to its pH-lowering effect

Prebiotic Action

FOS Fructo-oligosaccharides
MOS Manno-oligosaccharides

a.increases rooting and reproduction capacity of lactobacillus in the intestine

b.allows rapid activation of probiotic factors (within 2-4 hours after ingestion)

c.makes the intestinal environment unsuitable for pathogenic bacteria replication, thanks
to its pH-lowering effect

Probiotic Action
Enterococcus faecium SF 68 Lactobacillus sporogenes (Bacillus coagulans) Lactobacilus acidophilus Bacillus clausii	a.Exerts a synergistic effect among different microbial strains b.Allows the possibility to replicate in different environments and pathologic conditions c.Produces substances inhibiting development of pathogenic bacteria (lactic acid, bacteriocines)

Probiotic Action

Enterococcus faecium SF 68

Lactobacillus sporogenes

(Bacillus coagulans)

Lactobacilus acidophilus

Bacillus clausii

a.Exerts a synergistic effect among different microbial strains

b.Allows the possibility to replicate in different environments and pathologic conditions

c.Produces substances inhibiting development of pathogenic bacteria (lactic acid, bacteriocines)

Symbiotic Action
Prebiotics + Probiotics	a. favours the strengthening of probiotics vital capacities because the fermentable substrate needed for a rapid intestinal microbial colonization becomes immediately available, as a result of their combination b. acts synergistically in also controlling pathogenic bacterial proliferation c. Lowers intestinal pH caused by short-chain fatty acid production (lactic, propionic and butyric), while bacteriocin production inhibits pathogenic bacteria proliferation
