The Company

TURVAL Laboratories were founded in the 90's by a group of biotechnological researchers from Friuli (North Italian Region) with the main purpose to reduce the use of antibiotics and emprove the efficacy in animal nutrition, the objective that was subsequently expanded to human health and nutrition.

Thanks to numerous scientific collaborations with prestigious international research institutes, Turval labs developed new generation prebiotics and probiotics, based on Kluyveromyces marxianus fragilis. 

These are the first of their kind that are able to surpass the gastric or ruminal barrier and thus reach the intestines of the animal with maximum effect. This helps to assure a considerable improvement in the health and well-being of the animal, thus increasing productivity in all animal species.
In the field of animals raised for food production, such as cattles, sheeps and pigs, the use of Turval's probiotics in the feed leads to a significant and natural increase in productivity and an improvement in the quality of the meat and milk. Turval's probiotics are added to the fodder given to cows whose milk is used to produce the famous "Parmigiano Reggiano" (Parmesan) cheese.

Laboratories Turval Srl are located within the innovative research structure of Udine University’s Scientific and Technological Park. Every business located in the park is recognized for the merit obtained in applied research, creating a strategic center that focuses scientific and technological innovative products and accelerate their transformation into economic value for the benefit of the community. Offices and laboratories are immersed in nature in balance with the ideas and the environment.

Subsequent to the requests of the international market, Turval has also developed significantly successful specific formulations for camels, llamas and alpacas, ostriches, pigeons, horses and domestic pets such as cats and dogs.
The formulation developed for human use is widely requested by dieticians and doctors.
Major scientific collaborators include the Universities of Udine and Bologna (Italy), the University of Nairobi (Kenya), and the Ohio State University (Columbus - USA).
Turval's probiotics are currently marketed in the USA, Canada, Argentina, Egypt, Germany and, of course, Italy.
