BETTER TOGETHER – TOWARDS PREVENTIVE ANIMAL HEALTH

TALK TO AN EXPERT

From Biofilm to Better Health

We tackle the cause of animal health issues: biofilms. Biofilms are microbial communities that cling to surfaces in farm environments. They resist cleaning, harbor pathogens, and compromise end-product quality. AHV International is leading the charge with natural, science-backed solutions.

Publications
Mode of Action

We keep animals healthy via AHV products, which contains specific patented Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) Technology Extract, by influencing quorum sensing of bacteria, affecting biofilm related disorders, thereby reducing the incidence of chronic conditions in ruminants, swine, poultry, and aquatic animals.

We support (gut) health and microbiota balance by influencing QS, a critical mechanism that influences virulence gene expression.

OUR OWN FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH LAB 

Our research center consists of three main laboratories: a microbiological lab, a cell culture lab, and a chemical analytical lab. 

By having our own extensive in-house laboratory facilities, we distinguish ourselves with a greater capacity to address and respond to customer needs. This enables us to work faster, more effectively, and more efficiently.

HOW OUR SOLUTIONS BENEFIT HEALTH

Most health issues in animals are predictable. AHV proactively supports animals during critical phases, helping reduce energy deficits and improve overall resilience.

By providing targeted ingredients at the right time, our solutions protect vital organs—while enhancing the innate immune response, relieving stress, and degrading biofilms to expose harmful bacteria. This leads to improved health and sustained performance throughout.

  • The patented AHV Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) Technology Extract effectively interferes with bacterial communication, which disrupts biofilm maintenance, leading to biofilm degradation and a reduced incidence of biofilm-related infections. 
  • Uses natural agents to penetrate biofilm layers and support the animal’s immune system 
  • Developed in AHV’s own lab, targeting biofilm-related health issues 
  • Proven results in improving animal welfare, reducing antibiotic dependence and resistance, and enhancing milk safety
