Safe food is a major consumer concern and is key in Novus technology development.

Feed ingredients and environmental factors constantly expose animals to pathogen challenge. Pathogenic organisms are abundant in nature and if not controlled in the production environment, major animal health issues arise that could affect both animals and human consumers. Pathogen challenge can have unseen minimal affects or it can be severe inflicting significant mortality, morbidity and product contamination affecting the entire food chain.

Novus feed quality products address this challenge directly by stabilizing the feed and feed ingredients to inhibit pathogen growth and colonization. Indirectly, Novus products can block gut attachment by invading pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, clostridium and salmonella thus reducing disease challenge. The prebiotic route is also a valuable nutritional source for beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria creating a healthier and more stable intestinal flora.
