56% of dog owners and 54% of cat owners seek specific gut health claims in food or dietary supplements for their pets (FMCG Gurus, 2022).

Animals' digestive systems are composed of many living micro-organisms, including bacteria that are beneficial to the body but also bacteria that are harmful to the body. When harmful bacteria proliferate, this causes an unbalance in the digestive system and leads to digestive disorders (gas, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach ache, etc.). These disorders can be the result of a poor diet or a sensitivity to certain foods in your pet's diet, but also of stress. This can be caused by a change of environment, a change in routine or separation from family members. Digestive disorders also occur due to infection or inflammation.

Pet owners are looking for natural solutions to help their pets regain a healthy digestive system. A healthy gut microbiome is the key to optimal nutrient absorption, good immune status, healthy skin and coat, and overall strong vitality.

Prodiet® Colostrum, a natural origin ingredient for pet's digestive system

Colostrum is the substance produced by mammals in the first hours after birth.

This ingredient helps the development of the intestinal microbiota and supports digestive health. Its nutritional components help regenerate the intestinal barrier and increase the digestive system's resistance to infection.

Colostrum is naturally composed of elements that strengthen and protect the digestive system of animals. It is rich in :
Immunostimulatory factors, the most abundant of which is the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody.
Growth factors that activate cell and tissue regeneration.
Vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.
Colostrum is intended for both pets (dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, etc.) and farm animals(calves, piglets, pigs, etc.) to boost their digestive health.

Prodiet® Colostrum, an expertise for a controlled process

Prodiet® Colostrum is a bovine colostrum with a guaranteed high concentration of IgG thanks to microfiltration.

Prodiet® Colostrum is available in 2 levels of IgG concentration according to your needs :
50%
40%

A natural and committed French colostrum

In order to provide your animal with quality colostrum, we select a 100% natural raw material. Our colostrum is fresh and comes from French farms. It is hormone and antibiotic free.

A committed and responsible colostrum :
In line with our ethics, the calf receives all the colostrum it needs to start its life with reinforced immunity: only excess colostrum is collected.
Respect for the Charter of Good Farming and Collection Practices applied to all our milk production.
Complete traceability: 1 cow = 1 milking = 1 bucket of colostrum

Scientifically proven efficacy in animals

Scientific literature confirms the efficacy of colostrum and its important role in digestive health.

Colostrum improves digestion

- A study on puppies demonstrated improved fecal quality with colostrum supplementation¹.
- A study showed that kittens have good intestinal flora stability thanks to colostrum².
- A study showed that dogs fed colostrum have a greater diversity of microbial population compared to placebo³.

Colostrum improves resistance to digestive infections

- By strengthening the immune system, IgG and growth factors prevent colonization of the digestive system by pathogens⁴.
- IgA strengthens the intestinal barrier, protecting the mucous membranes against pathogens (adherent bacteria)⁵.
- Thanks to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Proferrin® treasuring your pet's health

Lactoferrin is a protein naturally present in human secretions (saliva, tears, etc.), as well as in breast milk. Several studies have shown that bovine lactoferrin, also present in animal secretions, improves digestive health and helps maintain the intestinal microbiota of animals. This glycoprotein supports digestion through its antimicrobial action and its action on intestinal cells.

Proferrin® is intended for both pets (dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, ...) and livestock (calves, pigs ...) with digestive disorders. It can be taken at any stage of life and has no side effects.

Proferrin®, a natural and pure composition

A precious raw material: milk from our French cooperative
A gentle process for a preserved structure and increased biological activity
A native lactoferrin as found in fresh cow's milk
A very high purity > 95% to amplify its action

A gentle process for a preserved native structure and activity

A microfiltration step to ensure optimal microbiological quality.
A moderate drying step to preserve the structure and bioactivity of proteins.

Did you know?

Lactoferrin is known for its benefits to the oral health of animals. Proferrin® can help maintain the oral health of animals by preventing plaque formation and inflammation of the oral mucosa.

Lactoferrin is also known for its benefits to the immune system.

 

Scientifically proven efficacy of Proferrin®


Proferrin® helps renew epithelial cells that form a barrier against infections.
Proferrin® promotes the differentiation and proliferation of intestinal cells under in vitro conditions.

In calves, lactoferrin also increases the number of intestinal cells for improved intestinal wall renewal (Joslin et al. 2002).

Proferrin®: An antimicrobial effect.
Proferrin® reduces pathogenic bacterial colonies (E. coli) by limiting the risk of diarrhea.

In dogs: supplementation with bovine lactoferrin tends to reduce fecal concentrations of pathogens (Hellweg et al. 2008).

Dosages

Ingredient suitable for pet food and complementary feed, at the recommended dose of

40 mg/kg

of body weight
*In the case of a finished product including heating process, it is advised to add lactoferrin after the heating steps, to avoid its denaturation.
