  • Applying our technology to enable livestock production free of antibiotics

    As demands for safe and reliable animal products increase around the world, the livestock industry needs to respond to calls for eliminating the use of antibiotics as growth promoters. Our research is making a great contribution to the healthy growth of livestock without depending on antibiotics and the efficient use of feed, which is receiving remarkable attention from livestock stakeholders worldwide.

    Calsporin is a probiotic containing Bacillus subtilis C-3102 for livestock animals including cattle, swine, and poultry. Research and farm trials around the world have demonstrated the positive effect of Calsporin on animal performance with consistent improvements in growth and feed conversion.

  • Poultry feed containing lactobacillus Finelact

    At the first week after hatching, or at the first signs of a health problem, it is critically important to maintain the intestinal microflora healthy in raising good chickens and pigs. Finelact is a quick acting microbial (Lactobacilli) based product which helps to form or rebalance the microflora for a healthier gut.
