History Productive process installations Where we are General Meeting R&D R&D The Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI), belonging to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, has approved, at its meeting held on 10/26/2018, the granting of a partially reimbursable aid of up to € 331,817.05 to Tolosa and Valiente, SA (TOLVASA) to carry out the Research and Development project IDI-20180946, called "DESIGN OF MIXTURES OF NATURAL COMPOUNDS WITH ANTICOCIDIAL EFFECT FOR BROILER PRODUCTION SYSTEMS WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS (NATUCOC) (2/2)" . This aid is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Pluriregional Operational Program of Spain 2014-2020. The objective of the project has been the design of new formulations of natural origin that can be used in the diet of broilers to improve their health and productivity. The achievement of the technical objective of the project will allow poultry companies to reduce the use of antibiotics during the broiler fattening process, as well as to maintain or improve the productive parameters of the farm and slaughterhouse. TOLVASA's business objective in this project has been to maintain or increase its productive efficiency in a scenario of reducing the use of antibiotics in poultry production, in order to occupy new market niches. The scope of the project has focused on: i) acquiring new knowledge that allows the design of new formulations of natural origin for use in the diets of broilers to reduce the prevalence of Eimeria spp .; and (ii) carry out in vivo experiments in experimental and commercial farms to evaluate the effect of these natural compounds independently and in combination with compounds with immunomodulatory and regulatory function of the microbiota at the intestinal level. For the development of the NATUCOC project, a consortium has been created made up of New Technologies for Food Management, SL, mainly dedicated to animal nutrition, and TOLVASA, dedicated to the production of broilers. The project has had a duration of 30 months and has been divided into 13 experimental tasks distributed in two Technological Development activities: i) Design of the new formulations of natural origin; and ii) In vivo evaluation of the efficacy of the new natural compounds. To carry out each of the activities, the companies have had the collaboration of Public Research Bodies (Complutense University of Madrid, Polytechnic University of Madrid and the University of Zaragoza), private laboratories and private research centers such as Imasde Agroalimentaria, SL The results obtained during the execution of the project have allowed TOLVASA to demonstrate the efficacy of the new natural formulations, being able to reduce or substitute the use of antibiotics during the broiler fattening process, in a context of demedicalization of poultry production. These new natural formulations make it possible to maintain the productivity of the animals throughout the fattening without the use of synthetic coccidiostats, improve the health status of the broilers and reduce mortality at the end of the fattening process. This aid is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Pluriregional Operational Program of Spain 2014-2020. Cereals Our company selects the best quality of cereals as raw material to produce the feed that will feed the chickens on the farms. The first step in a long production process that is always controlled. 2 Copyright © TOLOSA Y VALIENTE, SA All Rights Reserved. Privacy Policy
