Advancing pet gut health with L. reuteri probiotics and postbiotics

Gut health plays a fundamental role in overall wellbeing, and probiotics and postbiotics are important in maintaining a balanced microbiome in humans and also animals.

Through its NBF LANES BIOME division, NBF LANES has developed scientifically validated functional pet nutrition solutions based on Limosilactobacillus reuteri, which is a well-studied probiotic known for its role in gut health, immune modulation and antimicrobial activity.

In a milestone for veterinary nutrition, NBF LANES BIOME’s probiotics are authorized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Scientifically backed probiotics

Since strain specificity is crucial to effectively address digestive issues and gut inflammation in pets, NBF LANES BIOME has developed probiotics specifically tailored to the digestive systems of dogs (L. reuteri DSM 32203) and cats (L. reuteri DSM 32264).

The key attributes of these products include:

• High resistance to gastric pH and bile for survival through digestion
• Strong adhesion to the intestinal mucosa for better colonization
• Supports microbiome balance through bacteriocin (reuterin) production
• Promotion of intestinal wellbeing via butyrate, a key short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)
• No antibiotic-resistance factors, ensuring long-term safety

A stable postbiotic solution

Building on its probiotic expertise, NBF LANES BIOME has developed L. reuteri NBF DC PRO postbiotic.

This advanced solution, which is obtained through the fermentation and heat inactivation of L. reuteri, delivers functional metabolites that enhance SCFA production, support immune modulation and stabilize probiotic activity.

Thanks to its high stability and bioavailability, L. reuteri NBF DC PRO postbiotic is ideal for pet food and supplement formulations requiring long-term efficacy.

Supporting manufacturers of pet food and supplements

With nearly 40 years of expertise in veterinary nutrition, NBF LANES continues to set new benchmarks in microbiome health through its NBF LANES BIOME division.

The EFSA approval of its proprietary L. reuteri probiotics underscores their safety and efficacy, while the introduction of L. reuteri NBF DC PRO postbiotic offers a groundbreaking approach to gut health.

As demand for clinically supported gut health solutions grows, NBF LANES BIOME remains a trusted partner for companies seeking advanced solutions.

Beyond supplying ingredients, NBF LANES BIOME provides scientific expertise, formulation assistance and microbiome solutions to help brands develop evidence-based products and contribute to the future evolution of pet gut health.
