DSM Nutritional Products has launched a new website which provides a comprehensive overview of its innovative CRINA® portfolio of flavorings / digestive stimulants for livestock production. Accessible at www.crina.com, the new website provides an introduction to CRINA® and to DSM itself, and showcases DSM’s full range of Eubiotic products.

Dr. Christophe Paulus, New Business Development Manager - Animal Health and Product Manager for DSM’s CRINA® portfolio, comments: “ Demand for Eubiotic products is increasing as these natural digestive stimulants for livestock production become better understood. The new CRINA® website brings together for the first time a wide range of product and company information which we hope will be useful to customers wishing to learn more about the benefits of these innovative feed additives.”

Eubiotics offer a new approach to supporting gut health in ruminants, poultry and pigs. The current trend toward the replacement of in-feed antibiotic growth promoters has encouraged researchers to develop the potential of alternative feed additives such as organic acids, essential oils and probiotics. DSM Nutritional Products refers to these alternative additives as Eubiotics. The term comes from the Greek Eubiosis, which refers to a healthy balance of micro-flora in the gastrointestinal tract.

CRINA® is available in a variety of forms for specific livestock categories: CRINA® Ruminants, CRINA® Poultry, CRINA® Piglet, and CRINA® Finishing Pigs and Sows. In addition to the CRINA® product range, DSM Nutritional Products’E ubiotics portfolio includes VevoVitall® (an ultra-pure grade of benzoic acid which promotes health in pigs by modulating the intestinal gut flora) and CYLACTIN® (a probiotic which acts as a stabilizer of gut microflora and limits the growth of pathogens, and is especially suitable for young calves, piglets and broilers).

“DSM Nutritional Products’ innovative Eubiotics portfolio is a work in progress, and we will continue to expand it,” comments Dr. Christophe Paulus. "As market leader, we constantly strive to maintain and advance our own high quality standards. Our objective is not only to be the benchmark for the industry but also to give our customers the peace of mind that only comes with superior quality supply.”
