Animal health is a key factor in balancing livestock performance and welfare. For several years now, Nor-Grape® has established itself as a benchmark solution thanks to its unique selection of grape polyphenols that boost animals’ antioxidant defenses.
The numerous benefits in livestock farming have been demonstrated in over 100 in vivo trials, two theses, and five patents. In 2025, two new scientific publications in renowned peer-reviewed journals clarify the mechanisms of action of Nor-Grape®:
• Aberkane et al., Poultry Science: Supplementing pullets with Nor-Grape® resulted in significantly improved bone health at the start of laying: half as many deformed breastbones and higher mineral content. These key benefits for a successful laying cycle were explained by a specific modulation of bone and plasma metabolic pathways, beyond a classic antioxidant effect.
• Amato et al., Journal of Dairy Science: In dairy cows subjected to heat stress, Nor-Grape® led to an increase in milk production of +1.8 kg/day without altering the total solids content, while having a direct effect on thermoregulatory mechanisms.
These results reinforce Nor-Grape®’s position as a proven solution, based on robust scientific evidence, to help farmers achieve optimal and consistent performance.
Take advantage of SPACE 2025 to discuss our latest publications with our team at the Nor-Grape® breakfast: “Du grain à moudre, des antioxydants à savourer” on Wednesday, September 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (Hall 9, booth A29).
