Phyto-expertise at the service of animal nutrition
Innovation inspired by nature, for sustainable animal nutrition.
For nearly 30 years, the CCPA Group has been developing unique expertise in the research and valorization of plants and plant-based active ingredients in animal nutrition.
This phyto-expertise aims to offer our clients and farmers natural, innovative, and high-performance solutions, adapted to the current challenges of the industry: alternatives to chemical molecules, reduction of antibiotic use, improvement of animal health and performance.
A biomimetic approach inspired by nature
Our approach is based on a strong conviction: nature is an inexhaustible source of solutions to address livestock challenges. In their natural environment, animals diversify their diet and spontaneously consume plant-based active ingredients (flavonoids, terpenes, tannins).
These bioactive compounds contribute in particular to:
-
Strengthen immunity and resilience during periods of stress
-
Support the microbiota, key to health and digestion
-
Improve tolerance to thermal challenges and stress
As a result, rations incorporate less of this diversity of components and associated benefits. CCPA reintroduces this plant richness into nutritional solutions to keep animals healthy and enable them to express their genetic potential.
Recognized scientific and technical expertise
The CCPA Group’s phyto-expertise is based on in-depth R&D work to identify, test, and valorize the most relevant plant-based active ingredients.
This expertise in natural ingredients is supported by more than 30 scientific publications and a patent filed on Scutellaria baicalensis. The use of this plant has demonstrated beneficial effects on milk production in cattle, sows, and does, as well as on peak laying and improved production performance in broiler poultry.
In collaboration with national and international research institutes, the CCPA Group has developed a unique innovation platform, integrating specific models to study the effects of plant-based active ingredients.
Our innovation platform combines:
-
Advanced scientific models
In silico, in vitro, and in vivo models to accelerate the discovery of new ingredients and original combinations.
-
Controlled analytical methods
Validated analytical methods to ensure the quality, standardization, and traceability of active ingredients.
-
A responsible approach
A committed sourcing approach, in accordance with our purchasing charter and the group’s CSR commitments.
Each solution developed by the CCPA Group benefits from rigorous economic, industrial, and regulatory evaluation, and is based on solid scientific evidence, guaranteeing its effectiveness and reliability.
Proven solutions for a more resilient and sustainable industry
The interactions between nutrition and health are now widely documented. A healthy animal is more resilient, offers better performance, and has a reduced environmental footprint.
Our nutritional solutions are designed from plant-based ingredients, whose targeted actions support animals during critical stages of production.
They result in a range of recognized products—Vivactiv’®, Feedstim®, Oleostat®, Proactiv’®, Immax®, Thermo®—driven by a continuous and responsible innovation approach.
CCPA’s phyto-expertise is the ingredient that makes the difference: it enriches animal nutrition, protects animal health, and contributes to a more resilient industry that respects living organisms.
