Modulating the immune system by increasing immune cells and beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
Microbiome balance
Helping fortify the intestinal barrier and supporting a healthy pet gut microbiome
Bimuno Pet provides formulators with a precise, science-backed ingredient for developing high-quality pet health products.
The role of prebiotics in pet nutrition
In companion animals, gut health is fundamental to overall wellbeing, playing a key role in regulating both the gastrointestinal and immune systems. A well-supported gut microbiome can contribute to:
- Improved stool quality and consistency
- Reduced occurrence of digestive issues like diarrhoea and constipation
- Enhanced immune system support for pets through increasing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as butyrate
Prebiotic fibres for pets, such as galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), offer targeted support by nourishing beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacterium spp., key to supporting gastrointestinal health for pets.
