Reduces or fully prevents the resorption of toxic metabolites after infections in case of residues of harmful substances in animal feed or when it is switched to new feeds. Furthermore, humic acids also help to prevent excessive loss of water through the intestine. Humic acids have the ability specifically to influence microbial metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates.
