The growing focus on companion animal gut health is reshaping the pet nutrition landscape. More and more manufacturers are seeking effective ways to include probiotics and postbiotics in pet foods, yet production and regulatory challenges remain significant. Within this context, NBF LANES with its business unit BIOME stands out with scientifically validated probiotics and postbiotics, developed specifically for the supplements and pet food market.

THE POWER OF L. REUTERI IN EXCLUSIVE FORMULATION
Among the latest innovations are strains of Limosilactobacillus reuteri, one of the most studied microorganisms both for human and veterinary use. NBF LANES BIOME offers:
• NBF1, a species-specific probiotic strain for dogs (L. reuteri DSM 32203);
• NBF2, a species-specific probiotic strain for cats (L. reuteri DSM 32264).

These are the only L. reuteri strains authorized by EFSA and patented to ensure their stability even in dry pet foods, overcoming key barriers related to probiotic survival during processing. Key advantages include:
• High resistance to gastric acidity and bile salts,
• Ability to adhere to the intestinal wall through biofilm formation,
• Production of reuterin for microbial balance,
• Stimulation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA/butyrate) for gut health,
• Proven safety: absence of antibiotic resistance factors.

A POSTBIOTIC FOR EVERY NEED
The NBF LANES BIOME portfolio also includes the postbiotic NBF DC PRO, derived from L. reuteri, offering a stable and bioactive solution perfect for wet products, where high temperatures may compromise live probiotics. Through fermentation and heat inactivation, this postbiotic delivers functional metabolites that:
• Stimulate SCFA production,
• Support immune modulation,
• Enhance probiotic stability.

It can be used alone or in combination with probiotics in various product forms, providing flexibility and new development opportunities for the pet industry.
