What is FerAppease MSAS?
The active ingredient of FerAppease is a synthetic analogue of the Maternal Swine Appeasing Substance (MSAS). MSAS is naturally secreted by the sebaceous gland located on the skin of the mammary gland with the unique function of inducing an appeasing effect on the nursing offspring.
FerAppease is topically applied, and the active ingredient (MSAS) is assimilated by the vomeronasal gland located in the nose of the animals. The MSAS stimulation of the vomeronasal gland desensitizes regions of the amygdala and the hypothalamus, dramatically decreasing threat perception and its downstream stress consequences.
