Microbial Discovery Group: Powering Biological Innovation
Through our partnership with Microbial Discovery Group, United Animal Health develops proprietary microbial technologies from discovery through fermentation and commercial-scale production.
In 2007, United Animal Health acquired a majority interest in Microbial Discovery Group to expand its capabilities in microbial discovery and biological technology development. This partnership enables a fully integrated approach to identifying promising microbial strains, scaling them through fermentation, and validating their performance through animal research.
Our Partnership
Microbial Discovery Group provides advanced microbial discovery and fermentation capabilities, while United Animal Health contributes deep expertise in animal nutrition, commercial research farms, and applied animal science. Together, these capabilities create a powerful development platform for biological technologies designed to improve animal health and production.
Investments in fermentation infrastructure and pathogen research allow new microbial solutions to be developed, tested, and refined within a coordinated scientific environment.
Unparalleled Development and Testing
United Animal Health develops proprietary Bacillus strains through a rigorous discovery and selection process. Many of these strains originate from animals themselves and are evaluated under controlled commercial conditions before advancing toward product development.
Because nutrition decisions directly impact animal performance and producer profitability, every technology undergoes extensive research and validation. By combining microbial discovery, fermentation capabilities, and commercial research facilities, United Animal Health ensures new technologies deliver reliable and measurable results.
