Biosprint is a microbiological feed additive produced and worldwide distributed by the Italian biotech company Prosol S.p.A.[1] This zoo-technical additive contains cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, selected under the unique code MUCL™ 39885 and deposited in the Belgian collections of micro-organisms under the Mycothèque de l’Université Catholique de Louvain.[2] Biosprint has gained the EU authorization as feed additive for beef cattle, piglets, sows, dairy cows, and horses.[3] According to several tests, the influence of Biosprint on the diet consists of the improvement of the digestive efficiency and of the better assimilation of nutrients.[4][5]

Application
Biosprint is authorised for use in feed formulations for cats, demonstrating efficacy in enhancing nutrient digestibility and promoting gut health.[6] The additive has also been shown to support growth and feed efficiency in cattle for fattening, contributing to improved performance outcomes.[7] For minor ruminant species, Biosprint has been validated for enhancing both meat and milk production, providing economic benefits in small-scale farming contexts.[8] Its application in weaned piglets has resulted in improved gut stability and resilience against digestive disturbances.[9] Biosprint is also used in feed for horses, where it supports fibre digestibility and helps maintain healthy intestinal microbiota balance.[10]
