We have hit a Major Milestone this week! Great to see our first commercial order for FORC3® - the next generation in antibiotic free poultry production being shipped from our Comer, GA facility to our First Customer. FORC3® incorporates Axitan’s groundbreaking endolysin formulation for targeting subclinical and clinical Clostridium perfringens. We have designed FORC3® with microalgae rich in nutritional biomolecules and mid and long chain fatty acids that work synergistically together to help producers mitigate CP impacts and improve productivity. #liveabiltity #weightgain #noantibiotics #poultry #endolysin #FORC3
About us
Axitan is a UK biotech company focused on eliminating antibiotics from animal feed and improving productivity. It is developing a library of endolysins, and associated products, capable of targeting those pathogens that impact livestock farming historically managed through antibiotic supplements in animal feed and, in so doing, improve productivityyields. Its focus forms part of wider WHO One Health initiative to combat the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance caused by the overuse of antibiotics, animals accounting for two thirds of the antibiotics consumed globally each year. In October 2022, Axitan achieved US FDA GRAS (“Generally Recognised As Safe”) status for the algal biomass ingredient used in its first product, FORC3®, which promotes healthy growth in poultry by targeting the pathogen Clostridium perfringens that causes $6b of economic loss each year to the poultry industry. Axitan has operations in the UK and US.
