    Aviabiotic creates probiotics for integrated poultry companies. The probiotic, genetically engineered for thermostability, elimination of antibiotic resistance, and dependence on corn sugar (to protect the environment from recombinant DNA after it has left the chicken), will produce eicosapentanoic acid, a heart-healthy, Omega-3 fatty acid. Genetically engineered Bacillus subtilisspores in the chicken’s small intestine convert conventional poultry feed into helpful Omega-3 fatty acids. While currently in the concept stage, Aviabiotic has the tools to create a functional prototype for further testing purposes.

Biotech solutions to grow livestock that are of better traits and sustainable

Uses AI/machine learning to facilitate their platform/biotech processes like gene editing

Offers customization of genes and traits as required by farmers

Companies offering solutions that edit  (gene editing) or modify (gene modification) the animal's genome in a precise and targeted manner using methods such as TALEN's, CRISPR/Cas9, recombinant retroviruses and sperm-mediated DNA transfer. The techniques change the existing genome to improve/express desired traits in livestock. This segment also covers companies that use an AI-based platform or otherwise to offer diagnostic testing services of animal's genome that help livestock farmers identify genetic changes or diseases present in herds.
