Rubinum SA

Rubinum SA is a Spanish based company dedicated to the manufacturing and commercialising of feed additive TOYOCERIN® for use in the main livestock species (swine, poultry, ruminants, rabbits and aquaculture). It is the first EU probiotic authorised as feed additive in the EU 4b-1701 and today it is also registered in many other countries all over the world.

TOYOCERIN® is a natural sporulated micro-organism (B. toyoi) that was isolated in the Japanese soil more than 30 years ago. It acts as a bioregulator, helping to maintain a healthy balance within the ecosystem of the gut and exerting a positive influence on all its components: the microflora (composition and cross-communication), mucosa, gut-associated lymphoid tissue and endocrine system, resulting in improved gut health and better performance. Many scientific and field trials corroborate the effectiveness of TOYOCERIN®.

Since long time ago TOYOCERIN® has been used to improve not only health and performance of different cultured fish but also water quality, being research continuously run in order to go deeper on its aquaculture effects. In this regard, a recent trial run in IRTA with trout fingerlings has demonstrated its effect improving growth as well as modifying gut microflora (Gisbert and Castillo, 2011). Also, an increased performance, an immune stimulatory effect and reduction of Vibrio spp in tanks has been recently shown in nursery rearing of pink shrimps (Souza et al., 2011).

Nowadays, Rubinum SA is represented in 48 countries worldwide through distributors and agents. Our aim is to develop more biotechnological products and to register these in more species and categories and also in more Countries.

Rubinum SA is FAMI-QS certified and also has achieved the “Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS) Status by the GRAS Expert Panel the USA.
