Probiotic supplements and yeasts are among the products based on biotechnology and are considered essential for health.

Probiotic yeasts can be used for the production of various fermented foods, enhancing their nutritional and sensory properties.

The company is active in the field of large livestock including cows, sheep, horses, and goats as well as poultry, aquatic animals, and bees, Ahmad Khosroshahi, the managing director of the company, said.

“We are trying to improve the breeding of these animals by using the products so that their consumption by humans is associated with the least harm.”

He referred to the production of probiotic yeasts for livestock and poultry as one of the research fields of the company, adding that the production of probiotic supplements is another field of activity.

He pointed out that since it is not possible to eliminate all the harmful bacteria and also because of the resistance created by the use of antibiotics, the company has produced probiotic supplements and yeasts to increase the beneficial bacteria in the living environment of humans and animals.

Referring to the role of probiotics in improving the nutritional health of society, Khosroshahi said these beneficial substances can improve health and reduce the consumption of antibiotics.

The managing director of the knowledge-based company added that foreign products are sold with much lower quality and much higher prices.

“The extensive research we have done over the years has led to the production of completely new products in the world and suitable for Iran's climate.”

Although jobs have been created directly for just 10 people, considering the sales and distribution networks, much higher jobs have been indirectly created, he concluded.
