Improve the intestinal health of livestock
Auranta is a pioneering biotech company based in Ireland and set up 2013. Auranta engages in the development of cutting edge nutritional technologies that improve the intestinal health of livestock.
The company is a spin off of the University College Dublin’s research and innovation unit NovaUCD. They engage in the development of cutting-edge nutritional technologies that imprint animal immune systems. This improves intestinal health and reduces the need for antibiotics in the livestock production industry.
Various scientific studies confirm the value of this imprinting strategy. Van Amburgh (2014) observed a direct link between healthy calf rearing and first lactation:
- Up to 3 months earlier calving
- 100 g extra weight brings 100 kg more milk yield
- 500 kg extra milk when calves are reared free of antibiotics
- Up to 7% extra return on capital
AuraCalf
AuraCalf strengthens the immune system of calves
The first eight weeks of life is an important window of opportunity to increase future cattle performance. AuraCalf helps to reduce the “immunity gap” of your youngstock from the first day of feeding.
A favourable gut microflora determines the success of future dairy milk yield performance for a newborn calf, and also ensures sustainable and profitable livestock production.
Given that 50% of calf mortality occurs within the first six weeks of life, farmers should aim to double calf birth weight during the first 56 days of life, reducing calf mortality and morbidity at the same time.
AuraCalf strengthens the immune system of calves, This allows for maximum genetic potential during later stages in life. As a result, AuraCalf benefits animal health at all stages of production.
Using AuraCalf in young animal nutrition ensures a smooth transition from a liquid to a solid diet. At this stage, AuraCalf enables the calf to develop immunologically active compounds that improve the structure and functioning of a healthy digestive system.

AuraShield
AuraShield boosts immunity and reduces the risk for infection and animal livestock diseases.
How does it work?
Scientific research shows that AuraShield stimulates the beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
As a result, more mucus is secreted to create a sealed barrier in the intestine. This makes it more difficult for pathogenic bacteria to invade and attach themselves to the gut intestine. AuraShield has been proven to impact the motility of pathogenic bacteria. Hence, the beneficial microflora has more space and thereby promoting a healthy gut microflora. Therefore, AuraShield boosts immunity and reduces the risk for infection and animal livestock diseases.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global concern, due to its impact on human health.
In January 2022 a new European regulation will come into effect to ban the prophylactic use of antibiotics in farm animals.
AuraShield is a natural animal feed ingredient that contributes to the global mission of reducing the need for antibiotics in farm animals.
AuraShield is safe and may be used until the final stage of production. Animals that receive our products show healthy looking organs, resulting in a higher percentage of acceptations and a higher return on investment.
