Founded by farmers, backed by science.
ProAgni’s products are safe for animals, safe for people, and safer for the environment.
We’re at the cutting edge of agricultural biotechnology to enable farmers to meet the growing world demand for red meat and dairy.
Underpinning the ProTect™ technology is our patented technology Optiwise®.
ProTect has scientifically shown optimization of digestion, stability of rumen pH and maintenance of animal health and safety and has commercially shown improvements in productivity, performance and profitability.
As an industry, we have a responsibility to ensure the future effectiveness of antibiotics for all species. ProAgni ProTect™ provides the alternative to using antibiotics for growth promotion, in animal production.
ProAgni Research and Development
The ProAgni research agenda is focused on the ruminal microbiome and development of feed additives that reduce enteric methane production and increase feed utilization efficiency, without the need for in-feed antibiotics.
Current Research
ProAgni is committed to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
