- fat metabolism
- protein metabolism
- carbohydrate metabolism
- triglyceride metabolism
- amino acid metabolism
- exchange of dipeptides, sugars
- bile salt metabolism
Vetom for cats stimulates cellular and humoral immunity factors, increases the resistance of animals and poultry to infection by viral and bacterial agents.

Vetom 2.5 g (for animals): properties
Bacillus subtilis (bacillus subtilis) is a well-studied species of gram-positive, spore-forming aerobic bacteria from the genus Bacillus. The genus Bacillus includes more than 3,000 different bacteria. For the first time, preparations with Bacillus subtilis began to be used by Wehrmacht specialists during the Second World War in the treatment and prevention of dysentery in the military. Specialists of the Soviet Union also became interested in these microorganisms due to their ability to actively suppress the growth and development of pathogenic, conditionally pathogenic, putrefactive microflora and stimulate the body's immune response. For many decades, Bacillus subtilis has been studied by leading microbiology institutes in our country, where the first bacteria beneficial to the body of animals and humans were selected. Recombinant strain Bacillus subtilis VKPM B 7048 and Bacillus licheniformis strain VKPM B 7038 are resistant to digestive juice and enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. When they enter the intestines, bacterial spores are converted into vegetative forms and rapidly colonize the gastrointestinal tract. In the intestine, Bacillus subtilis begins to produce enzymes (amylase, lipase, protease), human leukocyte interferon-2 and other important substances that help normalize intestinal microbiocinosis (the totality of populations of various types of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract), improve metabolism and tissue regeneration processes . Bacillus subtilis has a beneficial effect on the animal's immune system, helps to increase the phagocytic activity of the blood to the physiological norm, and increases the amount of endogenous interferon. Thanks to this, the animal’s body’s resistance to the effects of negative environmental factors increases, as well as the body’s resistance to stress increases, and the feed conversion ratio decreases due to the ability of Bacillus subtilis to synthesize various enzymes. Feed conversion is the ratio of the amount of feed consumed to a unit of product obtained, for example, to 1 kg of weight gain or 1 liter of milk. The lower the conversion ratio, the less feed needs to be spent on livestock production. Bacillus subtilis also protects the animal's body from the appearance of dysbacteriosis, as it is an antagonist of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, including salmonella, proteus, streptococcus, staphylococcus, yeast and so on. Bacillus subtilis, due to its high enzymatic activity, helps improve digestion processes, improves the absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal, and also produces antibiotics and acidifies the environment, which means it inhibits the processes of rotting and fermentation in the intestines.
