Established in the year 1991, Zeus Biotech is one of the leading animal feed supplement manufacturing companies in India providing all-natural feed supplements to various sectors of livestock like poultry, ruminants, piggery, and aquaculture for more than 30 years. The company which specializes in the use of biotechnology; the science of exploring living organisms to make or modify products, plants, and animals or to develop micro-organisms for specific purposes, provides solutions which can improve the efficiency of feed and performance of animals through a safe and natural way. Through their core expertise in feed specific Solid-state fermentation (FS-SSF), which is a green technology with zero waste generation, Zeus Biotech produces some of the leading product lines including, Fermented Organic Trace Minerals, Feed Specific SSF Enzymes, Yeast Culture, etc., exclusively for animal supplementation.
Organomin Forte, Microguard, Polyzyme and Rumiyeast are some of the leading brands from Zeus Biotech. The unique FS-SSF technology exploits the matrices and conditions prevailing in feed and feed processing, to produce speciality products with high stability and efficacy required to improve animal health, performance and farming profitability. The organisation also produces unique line of Bacillus based probiotic strains at their submerged fermentation facility for some of their leading probiotic product brands including Microguard and NE-Guard.
Zeus Biotech Research and development centre, the research and analytical division of Zeus Biotech Pvt Ltd, is now accredited for ISO/IEC 17025 by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration laboratories (NABL). Under the accredited scope the laboratory will be able to carry out and issue reports of proximate analysis of feed and feed materials. The analytical facility which is already catering to poultry and other livestock farmers, integrators and feed manufacturers across India and overseas, will now be able to issue analytical reports with global acceptancy.
The research and development centre which is one of the most modern animal nutrition dedicated biotech facilities in India, hosts multiple departments including Microbial Culture Collection, Research & Development as well as Quality Control. The centre which is spread over an area of 10,000 square feet is skilled in microbial culture handling and processing, quality testing of feed, feed raw materials and feed supplements, determination and efficacy evaluation of enzymes, microbial strains, toxin binders and detoxifiers, organic acids, quantitation of various mycotoxins, evaluation, profiling and characterization of proteins and amino acids, quantitation of nutritional trace elements and toxic heavy metals, as well as testing of water parameters.
The centre also houses an exclusive and extensive microbial culture collection centre with numerous feed targeted fungal and bacterial strains with area of application including production of probiotics, feed specific enzymes, yeast culture, organic minerals, and other related applications. Many of these inhouse strains which have been isolated from various natural sources by the research team has been successfully used in various animal nutrition-related applications.
Another major highlight of the Research centre, the inhouse Quality Control Department which monitors, maintains, and controls the critical control points of the entire production facility is equipped with infrastructure and instruments qualified for analysing, determining and measuring analytes and parameters including minerals, enzymes, probiotics and pathogenic microbes, mycotoxins, toxic heavy metals, etc. The department thus ensures quality at various levels including raw material entry, material handling, during fermentation and other production related processes and finished product release. The department which follows European Feed Safety Authority guidelines and other international standards for its Quality system, analyses and confirms 25 – 30 quality and safety parameters in each product before release from its facilities and thus ensures optimum quality and efficacy to its customers.
