ermBiotics and Fermentationexperts have developed
several fermented plant and seaweed products for
pigs, poultry and human health. The products consist of
prebiotics, probiotics and bioactives from the fermented
plant and seaweed material. We have demonstrated very
good in vitro anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities
of the fermented material. A pig trial shows that fermented
feed called EP100i containing fermented canola can replace
zinc oxide in pig’s feed. The European Commission (EC)
has voted in favour of a ban on the veterinary use of zinc
oxide in feed. An additional pig trial showed a high (58%)
reduction of LDL-cholesterol in pigs given 4 % EP100i feed
compared with normal feed. We have demonstrated
positive gut microbiome modulation in several animal
models. FermBiotics will in collaboration with Silkeborg
Hospital, Denmark in the EU project Macro Cascade run a
randomized double-blinded matched cross trial using a
dose of 5 g fermented canola and seaweed material. The
clinical trial will be performed in N=80 human patients with
mild-moderate state of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
and/or Spondyloarthropathy (SPA) including both gender.
