NEWS 10 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE January 2026 Bioiberica, a global life science company, announced the publication of a scientific paper in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences confirming the presence of bioactive peptides in Palbio® — a hydrolysed porcine intestinal mucosa protein for improved animal nutrition. Building on previous evidence of the ingredients’ benefits for animal health and performance, the newly commissioned research validates the hypothesis that Palbio® bioactive peptides have specific biological functions — such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytokine/growth factor-like, and immunomodulatory activities. The new research sets Palbio® apart as a science-backed, high-protein functional feed ingredient with tangible benefits for key growth markers, helping pet food, livestock and aquaculture feed producers better support animal health and nutrition. “This milestone is the culmination of decades of research and trials investigating the potential of Palbio® to show why it can be trusted to deliver results for our customers,” comments Xavier Garcia, Business Unit Director Animal and Plant Health at Bioiberica. “Palbio® is not just a high-performance functional feed ingredient with a long-standing reputation for quality — it is now scientifically validated as a source of free amino acids and bioactive peptides that support animal health. Research like this exemplifies how we have approached innovation at Bioiberica for over 50 years; with scientific rigor, complete transparency, and an insatiable curiosity.” Read more>> Suntaq International Limited, a global bioengineering company specializing in enzyme solutions, announced that Türkiye has been established as the center of its Middle East and Africa (MEA) operations in response to growing demand for animal feed enzymes. Ahmet Gürgün, Regional Director for Türkiye and MEA at Suntaq, emphasized that this strategic step marks an important milestone in delivering localized expertise and a more secure supply structure to producers in the region. “Establishing Suntaq Turkey as our regional headquarters in June 2025 reflects our strong commitment to supporting MEA producers with localized expertise, reliable supply, and innovative enzyme technologies. As the animal feed industry in the MEA region accelerates, the demand for high-efficiency enzyme solutions is growing faster than ever.” said Gürgün. He added, “Our priority is to complete the regulatory approval processes, establish market balance on the supply side, and create genuine added value for the sector.” Affirming confidence in the region’s long-term growth, Gürgün shared details about the company’s strategic investments: “We firmly believe in the size and growth potential of the MEA region. This is why we have already begun strengthening our teams in the main markets including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, and Pakistan.” With its new regional headquarters in Türkiye, Suntaq aims to offer faster, more consistent, and more direct support to producers across the MEA region.
