Improving animal health with

probiotics
What are probiotics?

Probiotics, are naturally occurring live microbes that stabilize the gut
flora of poultry, pigs and other animals when ingested. They can improve
animal health, growth rate, feed utilization, and food safety, thereby
saving resources and improving sustainability of the animal farming
industry.

Humans can also eat probiotics to achieve better gut health. Probiotics
for humans are often found in yoghurts and dietary supplements.
Alternative to
antibiotic growth
promoters

Rising global consumption of meat

combined with legislative and
consumer-driven demands to
reduce the use of antibiotics as
growth promoters have created a
need for sustainable solutions in
animal farming.
At Novozymes, we are applying our
long track record in developing and
producing bacterial strains to
develop probiotics for feed additive
applications.
