Founded in 2014 and based in St. Louis, MO, we are the leading innovator at the intersection of microbial research and animal health. Securing a sustainable global food supply will be essential in ensuring a healthy future for generations to come. Our unique approach applies the most advanced understanding of the gut bacterial microbiome to problems in livestock growth and nutrition, with profound implications for animal welfare, food safety, and responsible stewardship of environmental resources. We are developing breakthrough diagnostics and therapeutics to improve livestock health and performance. Our diagnostic capabilities allow farmers to predict the health of their animals by analyzing the bacteria in each animal’s digestive tract. This information can be used to optimize animal nutrition and treatments for maximum feed efficiency and health. Our line of therapies, including novel inoculations of beneficial bacteria, set up young animals for healthy growth and optimal nutrition. Our mission — harnessing beneficial bacteria for the future of animal health — reflects our commitment to furthering research into the vast potential of the gut bacterial microbiome as well as our deep dedication to improved agricultural practices. Our network of premier partners attests to the strength of our approach and the scope of our potential. We are growing!
