How Biorigin’s biotechnology turns trends into solutions for pet food and aquaculture

Biorigin is a Brazilian company with a global presence, specializing in biotechnological processes and the production of natural yeast-based ingredients. With over 20 years of experience, it develops innovative solutions aligned with industry trends and consumer needs. Through fermentation, it promotes the health and well-being of pets and livestock.

The pet food market is growing rapidly worldwide, driven by trends such as humanization, premiumization, and segmentation that address specific nutritional needs at different life stages. In this context, launching innovative products has become essential for companies to stand out.

In parallel, aquaculture is also experiencing significant expansion. However, intensive practices can cause stress in animals due to confinement, transport, and handling, thereby increasing their disease susceptibility. Furthermore, the reduction in antibiotic use in animal production has intensified the search for safe alternatives to control pathogens, such as functional compounds.

It is in this scenario that Biorigin stands out: its expertise in biotechnology and fermentation, combined with the use of selected strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, the use of safe raw materials, and the production of high-quality natural ingredients, allows it to develop clean and sustainable solutions, promoting the health and well-being of pets and livestock.

We invite you to learn more about Biorigin’s products and solutions:

PALAUP: Yeast extract, Non-GMO and food grade, rich in glutamic acid, which intensifies the umami flavor and directs the palate to specific notes, bringing the sensory experience of pet owners closer to that of their pets.

  • Main benefits for pets:
  • Intensifies umami flavor, making food more appealing;
  • Provides specific notes, such as roasted meat and chicken;
  • Contributes to a sensory experience similar to human food;
  • Clean label and sustainable product;
  • Versatile for various applications in the pet food sector.

 

MACROGARD: is the most studied and widely used source of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in animal feed. It has high bioactivity and a minimum beta-glucan concentration of 60%.

           

 

  • Main benefits for pets:
  • Strengthens the immune system;
  • Effective for the oral health of pets with naturally occurring periodontal problems;
  • Improves vaccine response in puppies;
  • Helps with joint health;
  • Contributes to the metabolism of obese animals, such as reducing glucose levels.
  • Main benefits for aquaculture:
  • Improves the animals’ natural defenses, reducing mortality in aquaculture;
  • Contributes to improved vaccine response;
  • Aids in the wound healing process;
  • Reduces the undesirable effects of stress resulting from handling and transport.

 

 

BIOTIDE EXTRA: a rich source of dietary nucleotides (RNA), essential for the diets of breeders and for the development of young animals. It promotes cell division and ensures superior performance, allowing fish to thrive even in adverse conditions.

 

  • Main benefits for aquaculture:
  • Aids in cell renewal and growth;
  • Strengthens intestinal integrity and health;
  • Reinforces the immune system, increasing resistance to disease;
  • Supports natural defenses;
  • Exerts a synergistic effect with beta-glucans.

 

ACTIVEMOS: Yeast cell wall, with a high concentration of functional compounds. Rich in mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), it serves as a substrate for the intestinal microbiota, stimulating the production of short-chain fatty acids, which are essential for digestive health.

 

  • Main benefits for pets:
  • Stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria;
  • Promotes the balance of the intestinal microbiota by agglutinating pathogens;
  • Preserves the integrity of the intestinal barrier, favoring health and well-being.
  • Main benefits for aquaculture:
  • Favors the growth of beneficial bacteria;
  • Provides a balance of the intestinal microbiota through the agglutination of pathogens;
  • Preserves the integrity of the intestinal barriers;
  • Improves performance and increases animal productivity.

 

HYPERGEN: Enhanced mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) obtained from pure culture (primary fermentation) of yeast. Aids in proper intestinal function, promoting digestion and nutrient absorption, and plays an active role in intestinal defense, which is reflected in the productive performance of animals.

 

  • Main benefits for pets:
  • Maintains intestinal integrity;
  • Improves nutrient utilization;
  • Offers greater protection during challenging times.
  • Modulates the intestinal microbiota.
  • Contributes to a better quality of life.

 

  • Main benefits for aquaculture:
  • Assists in cell renewal and growth;
  • Strengthens intestinal integrity and health.
  • Supports natural defenses;
  • Exerts a synergistic effect with beta-glucans.

 

In addition, Biorigin has:

  • Pure Culture Factory: the first in Brazil, guaranteeing the selection of the best yeast strains, continuous production, and total process control.
  • Research and Development (R&D) Center: three laboratories, a pilot plant, a qualified team, and advanced technology for the development of new products.
  • Global presence: own sales team and distributor network in more than 60 countries.
  • Certifications: Kosher, Halal, Ecovadis, Bonsucro, SMETA Sedex, ISO 14001, FSSC 22000, GMP+, and GHG Protocol.

Biorigin’s mission is to add value to its clients’ products through solutions that promote animal health and well-being, ensuring greater immunity and quality of life.

For pet food manufacturers, this means offering products with high palatability, excellent nutritional value, and functionality, winning the preference of pet owners and strengthening the brand. For aquaculture producers, the solutions improve efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce losses, ensuring superior results.

All this is possible thanks to Biorigin’s expertise in biotechnology and its use of high-quality natural ingredients, developed through clean, sustainable processes.
