BIOSMARTPRO: A Patented Polysaccharide-Based Innovation for the Rumen Microbiome

Ruminant productivity is strongly influenced by the balance of microbial fermentations in the rumen. Traditional strategies—such as bypass fats or molasses—may add energy, but they often disrupt microbial stability, leading to metabolic stress and inefficiencies in dairy and beef farming.

At BIOSMART, we developed BIOSMARTPRO, a patented polysaccharide complex designed to regulate the rumen microbiome through molecular signaling. Unlike simple carbohydrates, our technology combines carefully selected rare polysaccharides that act as modulators of microbial activity, guiding fermentations towards more efficient energy pathways.

🔬 Examples from international research highlight the role of:

  • L-Rhamnose, a rare plant-derived monosaccharide influencing selective microbial growth and propionate pathways.

  • Pullulan, a yeast-derived polysaccharide associated with fermentation stability.

  • Fucoidan, a marine polysaccharide investigated for its ability to shape microbial populations.

  • β-Glucans, cereal- and yeast-derived molecules with immunomodulatory properties.

Our approach is supported by HPLC molecular fingerprinting, ensuring reproducibility, and by collaborations with leading European universities and research centres in microbiology and animal nutrition.

👉 The outcome is a solution that not only supports propionate and glucose supply, but also contributes to improved feed efficiency, fertility, and animal health, while aligning with global targets for methane reduction and sustainable livestock farming.

BIOSMARTPRO is more than an additive—it is microbiome technology, scientifically validated and designed for the next generation of dairy and beef production.
