AquaGalX

AquaGalX utilizes the natural immune response to alpha-Gal, a glycan expressed by gut microbiota, to enhance the health of fish in aquaculture. This patented technology triggers the production of anti-alpha-Gal antibodies, equipping fish with a robust defense against multiple pathogens at once. Developed in collaboration with biotech leader Lallemand, AquaGalX provides a safe, environmentally friendly method to simultaneously protect fish from various infectious and parasitic diseases. Explore how AquaGalX could revolutionizing fish health management.

ChickGalX

ChickGalX leverages the natural immune response to alpha-Gal, a glycan produced by gut microbiota, to bolster the health of birds in the poultry industry. This innovative technology stimulates the production of anti-alpha-Gal antibodies, preparing birds to effectively fend off a variety of pathogens simultaneously. Developed in partnership with biotech leader Lallemand, ChickGalX offers a safe, environmentally friendly approach to protect poultry from multiple infectious and parasitic diseases at once. Discover how ChickGalX could transform poultry health management.

GiardiX

GiardiX employs a patented probiotic lactobacillus strain that produces enzymes altering bile salts into toxic derivatives to Giardia intestinalis. This innovative treatment effectively combats giardiosis, alleviating symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal pain without the side effects associated with traditional therapies. Safe and validated across various species, GiardiX offers a sustainable, biologically-based solution to a pressing public health challenge. Explore the benefits of GiardiX for human and veterinary medicine.

SalmonX

SalmonX is a revolutionary feed additive that leverages beneficial bacteria derived from sea lice to combat this major pest in salmon farming. Administered through fish feed, it induces antibody production in salmon that targets and disrupts sea lice, impairing their development and reducing infestations. Safe, easy to use, and environmentally friendly, SalmonX not only controls pests but also boosts the immune resilience of fish. Discover how SalmonX may transform aquaculture practices.
