Have a look at our PowerPoint Introduction and Brochure describing deliverables, differentiators and case studies. Eight case studies can also be reviewed.
Objective
The objective of this project was to determine whether or not there is a market opportunity in probiotics for animal feed.
The more specific technical objectives of this project were to collect and assess the scientific evidence about probiotics in order to determine what is known and what can be validly claimed about probiotics. Commercially, the objectives of this project were to collect and assess information about the products currently available and about the companies that make them.
The scope of this project is products containing live micro-organisms used in animal feed, as well as those products containing microbial products marketed as probiotics e.g. yeast cell walls. The sector is agricultural animal husbandry, mainly pigs and chickens, but also other animals as appropriate. The geographic scope of the project is the EU and US/Canada.
