Animal food brand Fubon by Angel Yeast has re-asserted its commitment to improving animal nutrition by making sustainable production choices and focusing on the R&D of biotechnology.
"We are dedicated to developing yeast-based biological feeds that are more suitable for animal health according to animal species and growth stages. We select and cultivate specialized strains that fit the gastrointestinal tracts of different animals,"says Fayuan Gong, animal nutrition product manager at Fubon.
To develop its new feed formula, Fubon is collaborating with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Texas Tech University (US), Ghent University (Belgium) and Kasetsart University (Thailand).
Fubon produces yeast-based food products for a wide range of animal species, including pets, cows, pigs, poultry and aquaculture. The nutrition products it specializes in are functional protein ingredients, antibiotic alternatives (AGPs), prebiotics and probiotics for animals, mycotoxin management and organic trace elements.
Nutrition vital for eco chains
Appropriate animal nutrition is essential for maintaining healthy animal populations that sustain the stability of ecological
chains and protect biodiversity.
According to Fubon, innovations in biotechnology are essential to fulfilling nutritional needs and conserving habitats.
The brand says its animal food enhances animal digestion, boosts immunity and reduces antibiotic use, ensuring animal health and safety.
"Fubon aims to provide new solutions for the health of people and animals. Our research and development innovation and roadmap for sustainable farming with biotechnologies demonstrate our commitment to creating a better, shared future,"shares Gong.
Biotech solutions
Fubon uses functional ingredients (GoPro) to tackle protein shortages.
It further substitutes antibiotics and AGPs with probiotics, prebiotics and enzyme preparation to ensure the animal’s gastrointestinal health. These include YeaSense, a natural essence derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae through selective enzymatic hydrolysis.
Fubon aims to ensure the quality and safety of animal feeds by including a BioBon solution in them. BioBon is Angel Yeast's yeast-based mycotoxin binder said to reduce the risk of mycotoxin infections.
Earlier this year, Angel Yeast partnered with the Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China, to support R&D in biological agriculture and plant and animal nutrition. In particular, they would like to present new microbial products and probiotics to be used primarily for fertilizing agents, livestock rearing and aquaculture.
Their production process has recently been updated to cut carbon emissions by moving from spray drying to roller drying.
Additionally, Fubon recently launched a green initiative calling for improved animal nutrition, health and welfare through the reduced use of antibiotics and the promotion of sustainable farming.
