FRESTA®F, the world's first and only proven phytogenic zootechnical feed additive, is approved for use by the EU.
The EU announced Feb 15 the registration of FRESTA®F, manufactured by DELACON BIOTECHNIK, as an approved zootechnical feed additive under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
The EU announced Feb 15 the registration of FRESTA®F, manufactured by DELACON BIOTECHNIK, as an approved zootechnical feed additive under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
FRESTA®F was approved after an exacting safety, quality and efficacy evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority, the European Union Reference Laboratory, the EU Commission and 27 EU Member States.
FRESTA®F is the first and only phytogenic (plant derived, natural, botanical) product in the world approved by the European Union as a zootechnical additive. It delivers an outstanding combination of standardized, plant derived substances, developed to improve the performance of piglets, and now proven to improve the performance of piglets.
Consumers and governments are increasingly challenging our sector to use proven, safe and effective natural products throughout the human food chain. Phytogenic products are a natural alternative to the synthetic products that consumers want to avoid. Delacon is meeting the need by providing feed manufacturers, premixers and animal producers with a phytogenic alternative that, alone, and in combination with many other feed additives, can meet the diverse and changing needs of demand drivers, end users, and the consumer.
In a feed additive market flooded with "natural" products of uncertain benefit and composition, where buyer and regulator confidence can be low, this EU announcement is a milestone. It marks the first time a regulatory body has accepted that a phytogenic feed additive delivers safe, effective and proven results. This will boost overall customer confidence in registered phytogenic products, and provide them with a new level of assurance of the quality, safety and efficacy of our products.
Feed additives are a €12 billion global market. DELACON is rapidly expanding into this market through investment and innovation in phytogenic solutions. Since 2010 the company has invested heavily in capacity and talent, including our:
- world-class Performing Nature Research Center
- newly established Innovation and Research, and Communication Divisions
- appointments of new Directors, technicians, and product managers

I'm very happy that a first phytogenic (=plant derived) feed additive is approved as zootechnical additive due to its clear concept, quality and efficacy! This should motivate all serious producers to follow this line: when quality and efficacy are given, there is no need to remain at the 'flavouring' level only! Acceptance, credibility and seriosity of 'phytogenics' - as we created this term end of the 1980ies - would significantly be strenghtened.
Congratulation to the team of DELACON and Mr. Dedl himself!
