The complete eradication of antibiotics in animal feed

Our mission

Because animals - not humans - account for two-thirds of antibiotics consumed annually.

Why?

The overuse of antibiotics is universally recognised as the root cause of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) - one of the top 10 threats to humanity.

Our science

We harness antimicrobial enzymes, known as endolysins, and complementary technologies to create feed additives that naturally destroy harmful bacteria -pathogens.

We know that to effect lasting change our products have to make not just health sense - but financial sense - to both farmers and consumers.

Good health - Good economics

The common - and ruinous - pathogen in poultry farming, Clostridium perfringens, responsible for the gut disease, necrotic enteritis.

Our first target

As a young business, we are proud our vision has brought together a world class team of scientists and agricultural industry professionals.
