Animal Feed

We have the natural plus factor for animal feed

An innovative, purely plant-based product

We obtain our Cellobiose from locally cultivated sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Our Cellobiose is an invaluable prebiotic ingredient for your feed; it promotes the performance and well-being of livestock and pets.

Good to know: Cellobiose has been included in the Positive List* as a “straight feeding stuff with prebiotic effect” since 27 June 2017.

Benefits of our cellobiose for livestock

A healthy gut – the prerequisite for good digestion and the intake of essential nutrients.

Your farm animals can achieve maximum growth performance and intense well-being only if they have a healthy gut. As a straight feeding stuff with prebiotic effect, our Cellobiose is added to your premix or mixed feed.

Effectiveness at a glance

The prebiotic effect of cellobiose stimulates beneficial intestinal bacteria that enhance the animal’s resistance to pathogens.
By stimulating carbohydrate fermentation an inhibiting protein fermentation, Cellobiose can, for example, reduce the incidence of diarrhoea in piglets.
The fermentation process with Cellobiose gives rise to short-chain fatty acids that promote growth of the intestinal villi and thus enhance the intake and conversion of animal feed.
The enlarged surface area increases nutrient transport and thus improves the feed’s digestibility.

Cellobiose. Proven effective.

The prebiotic effect of Cellobiose has been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies – including research conducted with piglets and broilers.

The animal health benefits of cellobiose have been shown to prompt a substantial improvement in performance parameters, such as daily gain and the feed conversion ratio.

Quotations

“Results might point towards a positive impact of cellobiose supplementation on gut health especially under osmotic stress conditions.”
(Heinritz et al. 2017)

“…and cellobiose also resulted in a higher prebiotic index than fructooligosaccharides.”
(Sanz et al. 2005)

“However, in vivo, high butyrate production observed with cellobiose might decrease pathogenicity through downregulation of the expression of genes located on the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1.”
(Tran et al. 2016)

“In conclusion, a preventive effect of cellobiose against dextran sulfate sodium colitis suggests its clinical use for inflammatory bowel diseases patients.”
(Nishimura et al. 2010)

Brief explanation…

What are prebiotics?

Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that are not hydrolysed by endogenous enzymes. As such, they form a fermentable substrate for intestinal microbiota in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Prebiotics foster the growth and activity of desirable, beneficial micro-organisms in the digestive tract, such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. They purposefully trigger metabolic processes and thus exert a positive influence on the intestinal environment.
