BIOMIN – naturally ahead

The natural way has always been BIOMIN’s way. Since its inception in 1983, BIOMIN’s nutritional products have led the way in providing natural, non-antibiotic solutions to a host of animal health and nutrition issues.

Today, natural solutions are increasingly replacing the role once played by antibiotic growth promoters, a trend that confirms the vision of BIOMIN’s founder, Erich Erber. In the 1980s, way before natural feed alternatives were embraced by mainstream animal nutrition, Erber decided that probiotics could be applied successfully and effectively in animal production.

Starting with probiotics and minerals, hence the name ‘BIOMIN’, a strong demand for these natural feed additives signaled that the industry even in the early-1980s was ready for a fresh approach to animal nutrition. This foresight towards building a product range based on natural growth promotion has paid off. Today, BIOMIN is widely recognised as a world leader in mycotoxin control and risk management, with equally strong portfolios in acidifiers, probiotics and phytogenic feed additives – all using the ‘natural way’.

What keeps BIOMIN going

Animal nutrition is constantly evolving, simply because the environment in which producers operate in is ever-changing. It is no longer enough to produce good value for today’s business; producers need to understand the trends taking place that will shape the future of animal nutrition, and meet those challenges with innovative, trend-setting solutions.

BIOMIN is dedicated to empowering its customers in the animal nutrition industry – farmers, feed millers, premixers and integrators – with a practical, effective approach to improving animal health, optimizing performance and achieving efficiency in production- the natural way.

In an industry where margins are lean and the risks high, the optimal performance of the animal is no longer an option but is fundamental to the health of the animal, efficiency of the farming business, consumer satisfaction and environmental sustainability.

How does BIOMIN do this

Through innovative production technologies and advanced, scientific know-how, BIOMIN has pioneered several trend-setting solutions for a range of animal nutrition products, all of which utilise fully natural processes and ingredients. An in-depth understanding of what the customer’s needs and concerns are has enabled BIOMIN to create and deliver solutions in-line with performance and efficiency goals.

The Mycofix® product line tackles mycotoxin problems through a natural, unique mode of action. Poultry gut health is nurtured with PoultryStar®, through the action of beneficial probiotic strains on the gut.

Animal performance is supported with the phytogenic-based Biomin® P.E.P. while feed and water quality can be preserved and improved using the acidifier product Biotronic®.

NutriEconomics, a pioneering concept of BIOMIN, aims to set out the balance that should be achieved in meeting goals in nutrition, economics and environmental sustainability. By combining the disciplines of nutritional and life sciences, together with economic and ecological expertise, NutriEconomics ensures that BIOMIN’s nutritional products are designed to not only help producers achieve cost savings, but also improve feed efficiency and nutrient utilisation for the animal, without upsetting the delicate harmony of the natural environment.

Research and Development

BIOMIN undertakes pioneering R&D work in animal nutrition by focusing on four core areas. These are: healthy animal nutrition; mycotoxin deactivation; natural growth promotion; and functional feed.

Using a highly advanced nutritional and life sciences approach, BIOMIN has not only developed proven solutions for the industry, but also undertaken groundbreaking feed research and design projects at its in-house R&D facilities in Europe (Austria) and Asia (Thailand).

BIOMIN is also active in joint research collaborations with more than 80 research institutes and currently holds more than 70 pending patented applications. For its R&D success, BIOMIN has been awarded several innovation awards, including the Karl Ritter von Ghega-Preis 2004 and the Science2business 2007 award in Austria.

World Nutrition Forum 2010: A Resounding Success for Animal Health and Nutrition

Top international animal-health specialists and feed-industry experts met at the World Nutrition Forum 2010 to exchange knowledge on key trends in animal production, discuss BIOMIN’s NutriEconomics® program and debate the major scientific, environment and leadership issues confronting the sector.

The 4th World Nutrition Forum took place in Salzburg, Austria from October 13th to October 16th 2010, bringing together more than 700 delegates from over 70 countries for wide-ranging discussions and expert talks on the most important trends in animal husbandry, nutrition and feed.

As one of the industry’s most prominent scientific and opinion-leading events, the WNF is a platform for stimulating debate on the challenges encountered in world-wide animal production, shedding light on new scientific developments, as well as encouraging discussions on global animal-husbandry and feed-sector strategy. “This is a platform for exchanging knowledge and building long-term, sustainable relationships,” said Erich Erber, the Chairman of BIOMIN, in his opening speech at the Forum. “We are inviting industry representatives, scientists and others to work together on shaping the future of our industry here.”

The main highlights of the bi-annual discussions included keynote speeches by Erich Erber and Red Bull Air Race World Champion Hannes Arch, who detailed how they deal with risk and uncertainty (Expect the Unexpected); followed by a session on corporate responsibility and global food-supply security (The Dilemma of Responsibility), featuring World Bank Economist Jim Smith. The first day was rounded off with a panel discussion on the unseen threat of mycotoxins and expert talks on key industry trends.

Day 2 of the WNF focused on the scientific developments shaping the future of animal nutrition and production (Breaking New Ground) and BIOMIN’s NutriEconomics® Program, which is designed to raise efficiency by concentrating on effective nutritional strategies, good business practice and sustainable resource use.

The 2010 Forum not only talked innovation, but showcased it directly with the presentation of the B.R.A.I.N. (BIOMIN Research and Innovation Network) Award to Todd Applegate, Professor and extension poultry specialist at the Department of Animal Science at Purdue University, USA. There was also a session presenting more than 120 posters featuring the work of scientists researching in the animal nutrition field.
