Biotikum (Pty) Ltd

Conventional animal farming faces a major challenge: the reliance on antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotics in animal rearing threatens public health through antibiotic resistance.

Biotikum’s solution is an animal-specific probiotic to promote gut health. Biotikum's flagship product, ProbiGal, is a multi-strain probiotic for chicken gut health. By introducing beneficial bacteria into feed, ProbiGal promotes gut microbiome health which protects against pathogens reducing the need for antibiotics.

Biotikum operates on a B2B model, selling directly to farmers and partnering with feed mills or distributors for wider market reach. While other probiotics exist in the market, Biotikum’s probiotics are unique as they are host-specific and more efficient in conferring health benefits. ProbiGal's targeted approach to chicken gut health and its multi-pronged benefits offer a differentiated value proposition.

For farmers ProbiGal can improve animal growth performance, increase health, and decrease deaths, leading to increased profitability. For consumers, ProbiGal in chickens leads to safer food with lower levels of antibiotics. By promoting sustainable and responsible farming practices, Biotikum's ProbiGal has the potential to revolutionise the chicken industry.
