Problem
The overuse of traditional antibiotics in livestock farming contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing a significant threat to both animal and human health. Current feed additives may not effectively promote animal growth and gut health without the risk of fostering drug-resistant pathogens.
Solution
Peptobiotics develops recombinant peptide-based feed additives as an alternative to traditional antibiotics in livestock and aquaculture. Utilizing a proprietary precision fermentation process, Peptobiotics engineers custom peptides that promote animal growth, improve gut health, and protect against pathogens without inducing antibiotic resistance. Their technology leverages advances in synthetic biology to create a new class of feed additives that maximize animal welfare and feed conversion efficiency. The company's pipeline encompasses software, high-throughput screening, and rational design to create tailored peptide solutions for various livestock targets and applications.
Target Audience
Peptobiotics' primary customers are livestock and aquaculture farmers in Asia seeking alternatives to traditional antibiotics for promoting growth and protecting against pathogens.
