Bioiberica has introduced three new products in its refreshed Nucleoforce® line. The new additions to the portfolio take the benefits of the original line to the next level with ingredients specifically focused on immune health, production efficiency, growth and development, according to the company.
Bioiberica, a global life science company, has announced the launch of its extended Nucleoforce® product line for animal immune and intestinal health. Under the new unified positioning – “Immunity Force, Life Force” – the reimagined range will feature three new functional ingredients designed to address demand for a broader and more aspirational approach to animal nutrition: Nucleoforce® Immunity, Nucleoforce® Performance, and Nucleoforce® High Flowability (HF). In conjunction with the new launches, Bioiberica also shared emerging evidence of the ingredients’ synergistic benefits when combined with specific bioactive compounds. This combination of new solutions with fresh scientific backing gives pet food, livestock and aquaculture feed manufacturers an even broader selection of efficient and ethically-sourced solutions for essential health, wellbeing and development, the company states.
A NEW ERA OF OPPORTUNITY FOR ESSENTIAL NUCLEOTIDES
As building blocks of DNA and RNA, nucleotide compounds are fundamental to the function of all life on earth. They are especially critical 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. According to the company statement, each containing a nucleotide-rich concentrate naturally obtained from yeast, the original Nucleoforce® range consisted of three high-performance solutions. Each of these was designed to support farmed fish and crustaceans, livestock and pets through periods of stress, rapid development, malnutrition or challenges, during which capacity for endogenous nucleotide synthesis is diminished. The new additions to the portfolio take these benefits to the next level, with ingredients specifically focused for immune health (Nucleoforce® Immunity), enhanced production efficiency (Nucleoforce® Performance) and growth and development (Nucleoforce® HF).
Victor Beneito, Director of Animal Nutrition at Bioiberica, commented: “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.”
LATEST RESEARCH REVEALS SYNERGISTIC POTENTIAL
The launch of the refreshed Nucleoforce® range comes at an inflection point in the industry’s understanding of nucleotides and their central importance to animal health and development. In two new studies (awaiting publication) performed on farmed Pacific white shrimp (PWS), Bioiberica’s research and development (R&D) experts 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 (SWM) and olive extract (OE).1,2 It was also found that the pairing of Nucleoforce® with OE and SWM contributed to PWS’ resistance to bacterial infection, drastically increasing survival rates.3
“The potential unlocked by our team’s cutting-edge research is incredibly exciting,” commented 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.”
