PentaBiol
A bet decided by applied research
on animal and human food
Today, our young company has become a benchmark project in terms of the design, manufacture and marketing of applications based on different combinations of microorganisms, providing an innovative and unique way of working, as our work focuses on combining these structures of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts which, transformed through a controlled and stable fermentation process, create a new biochemical profile that is capable of generating a subsequent activity via metabolites, guaranteeing the effectiveness of the application after ingestion of the feed.
This type of product, which is neither probiotic nor prebiotic, and has much more complete effects, is known as POSTBIOTIC.
Based on the research work carried out, a wide range of postbiotics is available for preventive and therapeutic applications that collaborate with the digestive microbiota itself, acting as an instrument capable of helping the digestive regeneration of the animal's microorganisms, allowing it to be healthier, stronger, better modulating its immune defences to all effects, which allows farmers to be proactive in the replacement of the preventive application of antibiotics.
With its own manufacturing plant, it has both scientific and industrial know-how, is present in different countries around the world and continues to work on its international expansion.
It is currently considered one of the European benchmarks for its involvement in the processes of circular economy and sustainability in animal production processes, contributing mainly to improving the status of animal health and welfare.
The first characterisation of the product (enzyme levels, amino acids, organic acids) was carried out under the supervision of the National Centre for Food Technology and Safety (CNTA). This same technological centre, CNTA, defined the HACCP points of our work system (Management system based on the analysis of food safety hazards and critical control points. HACCP Plan).
The entire manufacturing and marketing process is certified under the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP +) standards, which allows us to be recognised as a high quality product in the most demanding markets as an international guarantee of our work.
PENTABIOL is a pioneer not only in the development of postbiotic products, but it is also the first European company to have created ECO postbiotics, already certified under European regulations, for their application in the feeding of different animal species.
