Our Story

Our story began with a vision – a vision born in 2015 when our co-founder, Dr. Deon Neveling, embarked on a pioneering journey to develop a revolutionary chicken probiotic for his PhD research. Years of dedication and scientific rigor culminated in 2018 with the creation of ProbiGal, our flagship probiotic, a testament to the power of microbial innovation. Since our official founding in 2020, we’ve never stopped pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. In 2023, we achieved a significant milestone with regulatory approval for our animal probiotic and enzyme additive products, solidifying our commitment to animal health and sustainability. Today, we continue to innovate, with exciting R&D initiatives underway to develop probiotics for cattle and dogs, ensuring a healthier future for all animals.
