LIVING MICROORGANISMS FOR ANIMAL HEALTH

Cerbios’ competence in fermentation related technologies has allowed, for the first time, the application of metabolically active lactic acid bacteria as probiotic feed additives in pelleted feed

Counting on decades of experience in development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical probiotics, Cerbios has expanded its competence in the manufacturing of feed additives for animal health. Nowadays, probiotics in animal nutrition are considered a modern and natural solution to improve the zoo technical performances, as well as health and welfare of farm animals, considering also the concern about antibiotics as growth promoters.

Stabilized feed additives can guarantee the delivery of adequate amounts of living lactic acid bacteria in the upper part of the intestine and its microbial balance.

Different formulations available meet the requirements of the modern feed industry for use in premixtures, milk replacers, water, mash feed and pelleted feed.

MICROENCAPSULATION OF MICROORGANISMS

Deep know-how and expertise in the microencapsulation of live microorganisms.

Starting in 1976 Cerbios also developed a probiotic feed additive product line.

In modern feed production, the probiotic feed additive has to withstand the harsh pelleting conditions which are applied in order to reduce the microbial load of potential pathogens. Cerbios has developed a microencapsulation process which protects the probiotic microorganisms effectively.

This technology allowed, for the first time, the application of metabolically active lactic acid bacteria as probiotic feed additives in pelleted feed.

Besides producing its own microencapsulated products, Cerbios offers its customers its experience and competence in this field in order to find custom-made solutions for the stabilization of microorganisms.
