Bioiberica unveils animal immunity and intestinal health solutions for pet food, livestock and aquaculture feed markets

Bioiberica has launched three new products in its Nucleoforce range for science-backed animal immune and intestinal health. The solutions — Nucleoforce Immunity, Nucleoforce Performance, and Nucleoforce High Flowability (HF) — target the growing demand for a broader and more “aspirational approach” to animal nutrition.

Alongside the new launch, Bioiberica flags emerging evidence of the ingredients’ synergistic benefits when combined with specific bioactive compounds.

This combination of new solutions targets the pet food, livestock, and aquaculture feed markets, offering a broader selection of efficient and ethically sourced solutions for essential health, well-being, and development.

Animal health advancements

Bioiberica says the Nucleoforce range consists of three high-performance solutions designed to support farmed fish and crustaceans, livestock, and pets during periods of stress, rapid development, malnutrition, or challenges during which the capacity for endogenous nucleotide synthesis is diminished.

Nucleotide compounds are vital for the proper development of tissues with a high cell replication rate, such as those of the immune and intestinal systems, and during periods of rapid development or stress. 

Bioiberica’s new additions advance these benefits with ingredients specifically focused on immune health, enhanced production efficiency, and growth and development.

Victor Beneito, director of animal nutrition at Bioiberica, says: “Part of our company mission is to provide high-quality solutions attuned to the needs of our customers and their end-consumers. Our vision for Nucleoforce, evidenced by the new product launches, expresses this drive to deliver, giving feed and food manufacturers the tailored ingredients they need to help animals grow and thrive.”

What does the research reveal?

The company highlights the current “inflection point” in the animal food and feed industry’s understanding of nucleotides and their crucial role in animal health and development. 

Two new studies - which are awaiting publication - involved farmed Pacific white shrimp . Bioiberica’s R&D team demonstrated that supplementation with Nucleoforce alone significantly improved PWS growth performance. 

These benefits were even more pronounced when the ingredient was combined with bioactive compounds like seaweed meal and olive extract , which made the benefits more pronounced.

The research also found that pairing Nucleoforce with OE and SWM contributed to PWS’ resistance to bacterial infection, increasing survival rates. 

“The potential unlocked by our team’s cutting-edge research is incredibly exciting,” says Xavier Garcia, business unit director Animal Health & Plant Health at Bioiberica. “Not only do these studies demonstrate the powerful immune- and development-supporting performance we expect from Nucleoforce, but for the first time, we can see how its effects can be further enhanced in the presence of additional bioactive compounds.” 

“Our research could open a new avenue for targeted animal health and nutrition products addressing key priorities like immunity, and help brands stand out in a crowded market. This is why we are in the process of planning further studies focused on more species.”
