Feed ingredient supplier acquires citrus extract

    Feed ingredient supplier Nor-Feed Sud announced the acquisition of all the Intellectual Property related to Nor-Spice AB from Danish company Nor-Feed A/S. Nor-Spice AB is an aqueous extract from citrus, offering a set of well characterized phytochemical molecules (citroflavonoids, limonene, pectic oligosaccharides, lemon essential oil) developed in Denmark over 10 years ago.
    Nor-Spice AB has been documented by more than 40 trials, in a number of countries around the world and supported by two master theses showing a prebiotic effect and gut flora control for poultry, pigs and calves, according to the company. "Nor-Spice AB has been a very efficient tool for our French customers for a number of years now with returns on investments well in excess of four to one," said Dr. Pierre Chicoteau, founder of Nor-Feed Sud.
    According to the European Union regulation, Nor-Spice AB is classified as a feed additive. It is approved in a number of countries around the world and can be used in organic farming.
    "This acquisition is a logical step in line with the third strategic plan of the company, which is to promote a small portfolio of well documented plant extracts to meet the market needs for efficient and sustainable solutions in animal nutrition," said Olivier Clech, Nor-Feed Sud partner since August 2012.
