Ceretide AMP is engineered for modern animal feed systems: a precision-fermented antimicrobial peptide solution that supports animal health, optimises performance and addresses microbial challenges — all aligned with sustainable, clean-label and antibiotic-reduction strategies in livestock, poultry and aquaculture.
What is Ceretide?
Antimicrobial Peptide
Ceretide AMP is a targeted blend of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived via precision fermentation of selected microbial strains (e.g., yeast and Bacillus subtilis) designed specifically for animal nutrition applications. According to the manufacturer, Ceretide products target different pathogens and species, delivering broad-spectrum microbial control in feed systems. These AMPs act as nature-derived bioactives that help manage gut microbiota, inhibit harmful bacteria and support digestibility, nutrient uptake and overall animal performance. Research shows AMPs in feed can improve growth, feed conversion and gut morphology while reducing mortality in poultry and pig trials
Why Ceretide?
Natural Antimicrobial Solution
Designed to act as an alternative to traditional antibiotics and chemical preservatives in feed.
Improves Performance & Health
Trials indicate AMPs support better average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and reduced mortality/morbidity in livestock when used appropriately
Gut Microbiome Support & Nutrient Digestibility
Evidence links AMPs with improved intestinal morphology (e.g., villus height, crypt depth) and beneficial microbial populations.
Sustainable &
Future-Proof
Helps feed formulators respond to regulatory pressure on antibiotic usage (AMR) and shifting consumer demands for responsible animal production.
Broad Species & Feed Compatibility
Suitable for use in poultry, pig, ruminant and aquaculture feed systems; compatible with feed manufacturing, pelleting and typical feed processing flows.
How is Ceretide Made?
Precision Fermentation for Animal-Grade AMPs
Selected microbial strains (such as Bacillus subtilis or yeast) are engineered and cultivated under controlled fermentation conditions to produce high-purity antimicrobial peptides that mimic natural defence peptides. This method supports consistent potency, safety and scale.
Purification, Formulation & Stability
Following fermentation, AMPs are isolated and processed to ensure stability through feed processing (e.g., pelleting, extrusion), compatibility with typical feed matrices, and ease of dosing in premixes and complete feeds.
How to Use Ceretide?
Pre-Mix &
Premix Inclusion
Incorporate Ceretide AMP into the feed premix stage at recommended dosages defined by species, age and challenge level. Ensure uniform distribution across feed.
Direct Addition in Compound Feeds
Add during mixing of complete feeds; verify compatibility with pelleting or extrusion if applicable.
Multi-Hurdle Feed Systems
Use alongside other feed additives (probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, enzymes) to create synergistic effects on gut health and performance.
Tailored Dosing Strategy
Customize dosage according to species, production stage, health challenge (e.g., post-weaning, high density, disease pressure) and feed formulation. Technical support available for optimal feed design.
