Animal Feed Postbiotics Development
Postbiotics refer to the components derived from the metabolites of probiotics following their processing. These components encompass both the microbial cell elements and metabolites. Given the diverse array of bioactive components and nutrients found in postbiotics, there is a growing interest in utilizing them as additives in animal feed. BioVenic's team has tailored solutions for popular postbiotics, offering comprehensive support to animal nutrition researchers. This support encompasses postbiotic analysis, in vivo and in vitro assessments, and the development of postbiotic products.

Animal Feed Postbiotics Development One-Stop Solution
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), with carbon atoms ranging from two to six, are generated through the fermentation of dietary fiber in animals' hindguts. Our platform not only enables the quantitative detection of these acids in various samples but also explores the effects of related additives in animal feeds, expanding their potential as postbiotics.
Cellular fragments from bacteria and fungi are rich in nutrients and various components (such as peptidoglycan, teichoic acids, wall polysaccharides, S-layer proteins, DNA) that can influence animals' immune responses, growth, and other biological functions. Our solution aids researchers in developing these components as postbiotic ingredients for animal feeds.
The functionality of microbial extracellular polysaccharides is linked to their origins and structures. Our solution facilitates the study of their structure, function, safety, and effectiveness for in vivo and in vitro applications in animals. By understanding their mechanisms of action, valuable insights are gained for the development and utilization of postbiotic products.
Our services cover compositional testing, safety assessments, efficacy evaluations, and product development for microbial cell lysates. Leveraging advanced analytical techniques, including various assays and genomic technologies, allows for a thorough analysis of cell lysate compositions and their effects.
Bacteriocins, seen as a potential antibiotic alternative, are a focal point in animal nutrition research. Our solutions encompass the entire bacteriocin development process, from strain development to efficacy assessments and product development.
Microorganism-based vitamin production offers an eco-friendlier method compared to traditional chemical approaches. Our postbiotic vitamin solutions not only cover a wide range of vitamin testing but also aid in the development of safe and efficient vitamin-producing microorganisms for enhancing the value of microbial-sourced vitamins in animal feed additives.
Animal Feed Postbiotics Analysis
Our comprehensive animal feed analysis includes a diverse array of assays for various postbiotics, with the ability to customize assays based on research requirements. This solution not only provides insights into postbiotic structures and contents but also evaluates their impact on animal metabolism, aiding in the assessment of application effects in animal feed.
Genetic Methods to Develop Feed Postbiotics
- Genomic Investigation of Postbiotics-Producing Probiotics
Studying the genome of probiotics holds immense value in unraveling the pathways and impacts involved in postbiotic production. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies like whole genome sequencing, we aid animal nutrition researchers in deciphering the genetic blueprint of strains responsible for generating postbiotics.
- Genetic Modification of Postbiotics-Producing Probiotics
Employing our genetic engineering platform, we offer support in modifying probiotics to enhance the production of specific postbiotics, paving the way for improved outcomes.
In Vivo and In Vitro Evaluation of Feed Postbiotics
- Safety Evaluation
Our safety assessment protocol focuses on scrutinizing probiotic strains responsible for postbiotic production. We assess the presence of virulence genes and antibiotic resistance genes within the strain's genome. Furthermore, the safety evaluation extends to the postbiotics themselves, ensuring they are free from contaminants like heavy metals, harmful bacteria, and residual virulence factors.
- Efficacy Evaluation
We facilitate the evaluation of postbiotic product efficacy in animals and in laboratory settings. In vitro assessments encompass properties like antioxidants and antibacterial effects. Key efficacy parameters in in vivo studies include animal growth performance, immune response, gut health, product quality, and more.
