Welcome to the vibrant world of Probipher: Pioneering probiotics for a healthier future
At Probipher, we’re a passionate team of scientists dedicated to unlocking the potential of probiotics for a healthier tomorrow. We believe that a thriving gut microbiome is the cornerstone of overall well-being, and we’re on a mission to empower you to cultivate a healthy gut through innovative, science-backed solutions.
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.

Our Mission
To harness the power of beneficial microbes to create innovative solutions that improve animal and human health, enhance agricultural productivity, and promote a more sustainable future.
Our Vision
By 2030, Probipher will be the leading provider of accessible and sustainable microbial solutions in Africa, transforming the health and productivity of animals, enhancing agricultural practices, and fostering a healthier environment for all.
