NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2023 75 ADM, a global leader in human and animal nutrition, announced it has licensed AMOBIOME from Gnubiotics, a Swiss biotech company pioneering the use of glycopeptides that can support the microbiome and overall health. Gnubiotics’ AMOBIOME ingredient is a unique class of compounds (glycopeptides) that possess properties known to support digestive health and the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. ADM will utilize the glycopeptide compounds in formulations for supplements and pet food across its global supply chain. Glycopeptides are fermentable fibers that are established to contribute to a healthy gut. Scientists at Gnubiotics investigated the effect of the milk oligosaccharide biosimilar on the gut microbiome composition and have recently published intriguing data suggesting AMOBIOME may provide microbiome stability during disturbance by an antibiotic. “Consumers are increasingly seeking customized nutrition solutions for their pets as they come to believe that what’s good for people can also be good for pets – especially at a time when many consumers recognize that a healthy gut is the root of wellness,” said Jorge Martínez, President, ADM Pet Nutrition. “The gut microbiome presents new opportunities to support overall pet health and wellness as scientific understanding of microbiota continues to grow.” Read more>> ADM licenses Gnubiotics’ AMOBIOME for global use in pet food Arbiom, an agricultural-biotechnology company developing solutions to deliver next generation protein ingredients, announced the results of a new scientific study evaluating its high-quality and sustainable alternative protein ingredient SylPro® for use in petfood. The study was conducted at Four Rivers Kennel, a leading US independent facility for minimally invasive canine nutrition research and dog feeding trials. The study aimed to evaluate the functional performance of SylPro inclusion in the diets of adult dogs suffering from chronic loose stools. The study results indicate that the inclusion of SylPro, in substitution for the chicken meal, improved nutrient digestibility, particularly protein, among dogs with chronically loose stools. Further analysis of inflammatory biomarkers demonstrated evidence of reduced intestine inflammation for dogs fed with the SylPro diet. “The impact of loose stools goes beyond a mere nuisance and can impact the nutritional status and well-being of a dog. The improvement to nutrient digestibility in dogs with loose stools when fed a SylPro-based diet is an important finding and may prove to be a critical strategy towards improving the nutritional plane of adult dogs,” said Dr. Ricardo Ekmay, Senior Vice President of Nutrition and Product Development at Arbiom. In addition, the study showed that inclusion of SylPro reduced feed rejection in dogs with loose stools. Read more>> New study: Arbiom SylPro® improves nutritional status of dogs
