TwentyGreen ^Company

The start-up TwentyGreen® produces a new probiotic feed supplement for sustainable animal farming, exerting several beneficial effects simultaneously. Their product is based on research in intestinal health at EPFL in Switzerland where they have identified a naturally occurring group of micro-organisms that enhance the quality of the gut ‘microbiota’, a consortium of symbiotic organisms colonizing the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract that are essential for metabolizing food and activating natural immune defenses.

TwentyGreen®’s aim is to gain a 10% share of the world animal feed probiotic market, which is worth over $4 billion per year and growing rapidly. Due to the important regulatory obligations involving human food and animal feed, commercialization of their feed supplement necessitates extensive R&D actions in collaboration with a highly competent academic partners such as EPFL.
