DIVISION 03 · ANIMAL NUTRITION
Coconut science. Animal performance.
A coconut-derived functional-nutrition platform for swine, poultry, aquaculture and pet health. Science-led, species-specific and built to scale.

THE OPPORTUNITY
A new functional ingredient category from coconut.
We apply processing, enzymatic technology and scientific validation to turn coconut materials into functional feed ingredients. This is not commodity coconut meal.
Category shift
Feed buyers are moving from commodity inputs to functional, science-backed ingredients.
Antibiotic reduction
Growing demand for nutrition strategies that reduce reliance on antibiotics.
An underused resource
Coconut by-products are abundant, yet largely untapped as functional fiber.
FOUR SPECIES
The same technology, developed species by species.
MOST DEVELOPED
Aquaculture
Shrimp and finfish gut health: white-leg shrimp, tilapia, milkfish.
ACTIVE R&D
Swine
Post-weaning gut health, the platform's first major scientific program.
EARLY STAGE
Pet
Premium, science-backed digestive nutrition for dogs and cats.
VALIDATION REQUIRED
Poultry
A high-scale future opportunity in broiler and starter diets.
SCIENTIFIC RIGOR
The validation pipeline.
STEP 1
Characterize
Composition, contaminants, microbiology, batch consistency.
STEP 2
In vitro
Fermentation, microbiota, pathogen interaction, dose screening.
STEP 3
Species trial
Tolerance, dose response, performance, gut-health endpoints.
STEP 4
Challenge / field
Commercial conditions and disease-resilience endpoints.
STEP 5
Regulatory
Classification, permitted use, country compliance.
STEP 6
Commercial scale
Processing, stability, economics, customer trials.
RESEARCH NETWORK
Collaborating with leading Canadian research institutions.
University and government research teams in Québec and Atlantic Canada evaluate CocoFib in swine and aquaculture.
CANADA · SWINE
Université de Montréal
An advanced in-vitro pig intestinal model (Prof. Alexandre Thibodeau, PhD) evaluating alternatives to antibiotics against pathogenic E. coli (ETEC F4), with full-length 16S microbiome sequencing. The study is designed to evaluate CocoFib's effect.
NOVA SCOTIA · AQUACULTURE
Dalhousie University
Department of Animal Science and Aquaculture. A proposed experimental design to assess CocoFib in salmon, with a deep dive on the gut microbiome and health, led by the university's aquaculture nutrition team.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND · FISH HEALTH
Atlantic Veterinary College
Proposed site for the pathogen-challenge part of the salmon study, alongside Dalhousie.
CANADA · GOVERNMENT RESEARCH
National Research Council of Canada
Aquaculture Nutrition team at the NRC's Aquatic and Crop Resource Development Research Centre, a potential collaborator on aquaculture feed work with Dalhousie.
REGULATORY DISCIPLINE
Science first. Species evidence first. Claims second.
How we describe CocoFib
• Coconut-derived functional fiber
• Mannan-rich functional ingredient
• Designed for animal nutrition
• Research into gut-health applications
Claims we do not make
• "Natural antibiotic"
• "Treats diarrhea" or "kills E. coli"
• "Prevents vibriosis" or disease
• Guaranteed FCR or growth improvement
CocoFib is being independently evaluated to determine species-specific inclusion levels and potential effects. Published findings on other MOS ingredients are not efficacy data for CocoFib. No regulatory approval in any market is implied.
