Market News & Updates

• Novonesis, 2026:

  In April 2026, Novonesis launched Bovacillus™, positioned as Europe’s first Bacillus probiotic for lactating dairy cows. The company states that feed accounts for 60–70% of milk production costs, making feed efficiency a core adoption driver. Bovacillus™ supports rumen and intestinal function, improves fiber digestibility, and delivers one additional kilogram of milk per cow per day. It also provides 3.7% more feed efficiency, withstands application temperatures up to 95°C, and is supported by peer-reviewed studies. This strengthens Novonesis’ position in ruminant probiotics and expands the market beyond poultry and swine, increasing demand for heat-stable, feed-compatible microbial solutions in commercial dairy nutrition.

• Evonik Industries AG, 2026:

  In January 2026, Evonik highlighted Ecobiol® at IPPE 2026 as part of its gut health solutions for sustainable poultry production. Ecobiol® is a natural, spore-forming probiotic based on Bacillus CECT 5940, and Evonik states that it outgrows 46% faster than competitor products. The product supports intestinal microbial balance across poultry, swine, and aquaculture, while improving digestive health, nutrient absorption, feed efficiency, and resilience under production stress. This update is significant because faster spore outgrowth directly addresses probiotic efficacy concerns in feed applications. It also strengthens competition in antibiotic-growth-promoter-free nutrition, where producers increasingly seek stable probiotics that perform consistently during feed processing and commercial farm conditions.
